We've got electrical connections on the roof of the Grenadier (well, some of us have that option anyway), but here's a solution for vehicles that don't, and it could be a solution for additional electrical connections on the Grenadier. They mount on the roof and provide a waterproof way to...

During my trail time in Moab, Utah in November my factory rock rails did their intended job - on one obstacle I scraped along on the driver's side rail. This exposed bare metal and in the six weeks since that trip, rust began to form. It's been too cold all that time to remedy the rust but...

From an Instagram post by Exmoor, for Defenders and Series Land Rovers - front-facing fold-up seats for the cargo area. Here's what Exmoor says about them: These mount to the rigid rear wheel arches in the Defender; different mounting would be required for the Grendier. Also not sure...

Pretty much every week I'm carrying something from some lumberyard on top of my Grenadier as we're in the process of renovating our new-to-us 200-year old home. I keep ratchet straps in the pockets on the rear doors for securing these loads and I'm testing the small door window bag by carrying...

Ideas for a Quartermaster? An issue of Land Rover Monthly features this HiCap pickup on the cover: It's outfitted for shooting, and has two drawers in the bed with a nice wooden floor above the drawers. The right side drawer is for guns and the other is for drinks. I never thought guns...

From Land Rover Owner, a fully built storage system for the inside of a Discovery: This next view is from the front. One side of the split rear seat is removed and there's storage and the accessory electrical system in its place. Back to the first photo - did you notice the drawer fridge...

Is this a good idea? Is it even legal to tow two trailers here in the U.S.? I've seen RV's towing a Jeep with a trailer behind the Jeep, but I don't think I've seen a vehicle towing two trailers (except for 2- and 3-trailer semi trucks).

This seems like a good idea. From Land Rover Owner: Some fridges have Bluetooth now so you can monitor them from your phone but my older Dometics don't. One of my Dometics has Wifi which really doesn't work well with my Android phone and my other Dometic has nothing, so a monitor like this...

I received preproduction samples of the rear door window bags from the craftsmen at Overland Outfitters. I had designed and sewed a bag for the narrow door window as a proof-of-concept and six weeks ago I sent that bag and a design and patterns for a wide rear door window bag to them; they...

Land Rovers don't show up in great numbers at the SEMA Show but here's one I saw a few years ago at the show, it's done in a beach/boat theme: A cooler compartment in the floor. Also note the tailgate: Another view of the tailgate: Not sure I'd want a wood floor in my Grenadier though.

Many people complain about Torx fasteners and how when they get older and rusty they can be hard to extract. Hopefully we won't have to deal with rusty Torx fasteners for a long time if ever in the Grenadier but they're a common problem in Wranglers. Ihis item in Land Rover Monthly caught my...

One of the little things that Ineos got wrong are the hole plugs in the plastic cowl panel by the wipers. I've seen many comments about them going missing and I discoverer that one of mine was missing the other day. Probably came out when I was in the manual car wash using the pressure wand...

Defender Camper Trailer - every issue of both magazines has a classified ad section in the back. Mostly they list various Land Rover vehicles for sale by owner, but in the July issue of Land Rover Monthly this Defender Camper Trailer was listed: Grenadiers being parted out hopefully won't be...

DIY Pop-top camper If Grenadiers had separate roof panels like Defenders do, a DIY like this would be a lot easier. This DIY camper is featured in the February 2022 issue of Land Rover Monthly: Since the roof panel unbolts, it's not a huge task to hinge it, support it with some gas...

Pop-up campers for the Grenadier don't have to be so expensive. I believe an Alu-Cab starts at $12,000 or more, but on the other side of the Atlantic, where pop-tops seem to be more popular, conversions like the Eco Poptop pictured below were starting at 2400 GBP (about $3300) a few years ago...
