Took a quick flight from Delhi to Jodhpur this morning. Landed at the combined commercial airport/air force base in Jodhpur, this is the commercial terminal: Notice the Mahindra jeep just to the left of center in the photo above. Here's a closer photo... it's a Thar belonging to the CISF -...

India has about 20 major local languages and many minor ones; in Delhi and much of the north Hindi is the main language, and this Mahindra was at a temple in Delhi, but the script is in Punjabi. The Punjab is a state to the west of Delhi, it's one of the states bordering Pakistan. It's a state...

Did you have your Jeep blessed when you bought it? I'm in India right now and I took this photo at a Hindu temple this afternoon: It's a new Mahindra Thar. Notice the broken shell of a coconut on the ground under the Thar, the inscription on the hood and the flowers on the hood and the dash...

Yes. On the soft goods side I've already tested the number of the Overland Outfitters designs in a grenadier out at Overland West. Here's a photo of some of their seat-back products in a Grenadier. A few of the OO designs also need minor adjustments or new versions to work properly in the...

Yes, typo

ARB was showing several new compressors with brushless motors. They claim these have 50% better output than compressors with brush-type motors, and told me the single version with the brushless motor has a 3.1 cfm output at 36 psi. They also say there are sensors inside the compressor that...

If anyone is interested, I posted the Grenadiers and Quartermasters of SEMA over here: https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/ineos-vehicles-at-sema-2024.246435/#post-3194729

Trailmaster. This is a shot of it on the dealer lot: I'll be retiring the JKU, probably selling the custom Safari Cab hardtop and custom flat fenders and putting it back to stock.

Quatermasters...

More... This one is from a custom van builder - I guess they were displaying it trying to get customers they could build for, but whenever I passed it there was nobody to ask. The inside is apparently configured for sleeping, but it's hard to tell how good it was because the sleeping...

I'm at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas and since I just committed to buying a Grenadier (haven't taken delivery yet), I checked out all of the Ineos vehicles at the show. First the Grenadiers... This one was outside the West Hall: This one was also outside the West Hall, near the...

At SEMA I ran into my friend Greg Henderson (Unofficial Use Only: https://unofficialuseonly.com/about) He built the two Quadratec custom Jeeps in the last few years and I worked with him to design storage solutions for those projects that I had Overland Outfitters make. He told me he's got an...

While there wasn't as much innovation in new products at SEMA this year as one might like, I did see a few interesting new products. Yakima was showing two new things. Their "Ribcage" acknowleges that Jeep has never thought they should make a hardtop that's capable of supporting weight on top...

From the point of view of innovative products for Jeeps, SEMA is a bit of a disappointment this year - I didn't see too many new products that I think will make a difference. I'll post a few products when I get a chance, but I'll start with the concepts in the Stellantis space...

They also had a small space in the North Hall, showing one Roxor there:

Today's post is "Cool jeeps you can have" (assuming you might think these are cool), Mahindra had a presence at SEMA this year, mostly they were outside near the Overland Experience... Strangely, they were also showing quite a few Mahindra tractors at the show. If you don't know this -...

About a month ago I posted that I was considering getting a Grenadier (https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/barn-door-for-jk-factory-hardtops.127687/post-3190363). I'm still thinking about it, and found one on the dealer lot that has most of the options I'm interested in - it's got the...

At Overland West this year I picked up a design assignment - a carry bag for the Thunderbox folding toilet (https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/barn-door-for-jk-factory-hardtops.127687/post-3173471). I posted this image at the time: The idea was that OO would manufacture these for the...

Some weeks ago I wrote that OO had asked me to design a new Tactical First Aid/First Responder bag based on their Tactical Tool Bag. They made a prototype of the bag shell for me - it can hang on the seat back the same way their Tactical Tool Bag does. I think I posted this photo when the bag...

A while back at Overland West my JK was being used by both Overland Outfitters and MORryde to show products and in addition to having a number of both of their products in my Jeep I also had my prototype suction-mount trail table installed: At the show MORryde asked me what I was doing with...
