In an issue of Land Rover Owner there's an article about Australia's National Military Vehicle Museum. The article features some photos of some Australian Special Air Service (SAS) Regiment Defenders. They carry lots of extra fuel. Because this is a 2-door, there's more room on the side than...

A lot of people install on board air in their offroad/expedition vehicles and it's a good idea. I considered that for the Grenadier but decided on a portable compressor instead. I did this for several reasons - at the SEMA Show a few weeks ago I was given a high-spec dual compressor by a...

UK Land Rover accessories company Exmoor did an Instagram post about a line of Land Rover clothing and bags. I checked the Exmoor site and found nothing but with a little more searching I found out that what they posted about was offered by Exmoor partner Red Canoe Brands...

A product from Norway featured in Land Rover Monthly, shown on a new Defender: This anim image is from the company's web site (https://www.dropracks.com/): I don't think it's made it to the U.S. but the company says they have plans to come here. Probably could adapt it to the Grenadier.

A quick and crude photo edit to show what this would look like in black...

I'll leave it to you guys to comment on this idea from Land Rover Owner and whether it has any applicability to Grenadiers (or to any practical vehicle): A little searching turned up more images of the concept: Another idea from the same designers... if you don't have your back...

It looks like Overland Outfitters is going to put these in production so probably I shouldn't post those details until they're ready to release. Don't want anyone ripping off the idea before it gets into production.

An interesting awning, although it's on a soft top Land Rover: I thought that was an interesting idea so I built one, shown here a few years ago on my JKU Wrangler: I'll have to get it out and try it with the Grenadier.

Developing the pattern for the wide rear door window bag.

In case anyone is considering these nets, I just got an email from them with a discount code of SEMA25; the code is valid until November 23.

Land Rover Owner published this item is in their "Stuff: Latest Products for your Land Rover" section: These are manufactured in China (no surprise) and a number of retailers offer them. In the U.S., Auxbeam is one such retailer. Auxbeam often sends me things to test and review, and I've...

A friend sent me photos of window basket panels he installed on the rear doors of his Grenadier and I thought it was a good place to find some extra storage because you can't really see out of the bottom halves of the rear door windows anyway. But it seemed to me that with the combination of...

Jeeps in my garage still outnumber the Grenadier 3-1 and I drive all of them regularly. The LJ is primary daily driver and my wife chooses the JKU. The pickup gets used all the time getting materials for renovations on the 200-year old house we moved into a little over a year ago. The only...

From UK Land Rover accessories company Exmoor, bags attached to the bar behind the front seats of a Series Land Rover: From US Jeep accessories company Quadratec, bags attached to the back of the seats: That's the Quadratec 30th Anniversary "YJL" Jeep build, intended to pay tribute to the...

Most hinge-mounted steps for Grenadiers (and Jeeps) look like these, which bolt to both hinges: They're plenty strong and work very well. But I'm not really a fan of something that large on the side of the vehicle so I've done something different on my Jeeps - this isn't a Land Rover idea...
