From Land Rover Magazine - and this does seem like a good idea - body-mounted rear work lights: They seem to have an angled housing that would focus the light very nicely around the rear of the Land Rover. I checked the company's web site (https://irbdevelopments.com/) but the lights don't...

I came across this in a Land Rover group on Facebook. The poster was asking what size (narrow) spare people were mounting to their hood. The Grenadier hood comes up closer to the windshield than the Land Rover hood, so even a skinny spare might be too much in the line of vision, but I'm...

From Land Rover Owner magazine: I'd like to see that operation in action.

Not Land Rover ideas, but some Chinese ideas maybe worth looking at... If I told you this was a photo of the center console of an upcoming 4x4, you might say they stole the idea from the Grenadier. I don't know if they got the idea from the Grenadier or not, but the photo shows the center...

Different places to mount things... this expedition-equipped Series Land Rover has jerry cans mounted on the rear body. Maybe that's a better place than mounting them on the swinging tailgate/rear door? It does require relocating the tail lights and the license plate but it should be a...

It seems that there's an app for everything these days (from Land Rover Owner magazine)... I did a little searching and it turns out there are a bunch of similar apps, here's one I came across: I guess if you're extremely stuck, something like this could be useful to calculate the best way...

We've all seen trash bags that hang off the spare tire but if you've got jerry cans mounted externally on your Grenadier, what about one that hangs off a jerry can? Australian company Stray Systems says: Also unusual and interesting is the way the small cans are strapped to the top of...

Since I was a subscriber to Land Rover Monthly magazine, I get regular emails from them about events, new products, etc. This past weekend a new product email came in, and this camper interior for a Defender 110 was featured. It claims a 30-minute install time, so it could be installed just...

Chinese company BAIC is already building a G-Wagen styled offroader: https://www.autoblog.com/news/china-working-on-a-hardcore-mercedes-g-wagon-rival Also looks like they got some dash ideas from Grenadier:

From Land Rover Magazine: The web page for it: https://www.expedition-equipment.com/product/universal-tunnel-saddle-bag/ Not sure if it's a good idea or not, but it's easy enough to turn this into an idea for the Grenadier. I sewed a quick prototype using a couple of Ikea pouches I had on...

Another one for the Quartermaster folks: Featured in several of the Land Rover magazines, an idea I haven't seen in the Jeep world - an arched rear tonneau cover. All of the ones I've seen so far are flat. This one comes with a frame to provide the arched shape; flat ones are simpler...

Another idea for Quartermaster people who might want to sleep in their truck bed: Just one problem, the Quartermaster bed is so short; I guess you'd have to sleep with the tailgate down for extra length. Or maybe just the kids could sleep there. Wouldn't be difficult to build a frame for a...

Ideas for Quartermasters... The Winter 2022 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...

More details about the "Ikea Utility Belt Table" for people who want to build their own. The mounting rail is a common extrusion used in the RV industry in the U.S. for mounting tables to walls. I found the piece I used on eBay, but here's an RV components supplier that carries it...

During my recent camping trip in Death Valley, it would have been handy to have a table that I could use when the kitchen with its work surfaces wasn't deployed. It would also be useful when the kitchen was deployed, for example it could be set up as a condiment table. I wanted something that...
