My pleasure. Many more ideas to come.

OO is a fabric goods company, they really haven't done hardware yet and probably don't want to. I could submit a product design to MORryde, but they probably won't be interested based on the small number of Grenadiers out there so far.

Another detail about converting the bladder to the shower source... That bladder has a cap/nozzle that's not very useful for use as a water source to a sink or shower, so I modified the cap to have a quick-disconnect. This is the nozzle as it comes, it's got a push-button valve on it and a...

This could be useful on a roof rack, perhaps as a source of warm water after it got heated by the sun? I did some searching and found that they're available at Amazon: https://tinyurl.com/7fb9pbhk I bought one and created a pump-driven shower I called the "Power Shower." It works pretty...

Or if not on the bonnet, maybe tools on the fenders?

Many military Land Rovers have tools on the bonnet. I don't think I've yet seen tools mounted directly to the hood of a Grenadier. The one in this next photo has a shovel, a pick and a recovery strap on the bonnet - one end of the strap is already hooked to the bumper for quick deployment...

Another idea from Sam Watson's column: Seems like an interesting idea so I went to the company's web site (they're a U.S. company BTW) and I couldn't find the "Roadie" product he mentions listed, so maybe it's discontinued, but I did find the instruction sheet:

One thing both Land Rover and other overland people have in common is a fondness for jerry cans. This was in a holiday gift guide in the magazine: I found them at a military surplus place in Pennsylvania a few years ago and I couldn't resist buying a couple. I tried some fun photography...

Magnetic Screens A short "how to" article. It appears he's just using magnetic strips to hold loose window screen in place. I did a similar thing for my JKU Wrangler a few years back but I sandwiched the edge of the screen between the magnetic strip and webbing and sewed everything...

This could be useful in a roof top tent: The company's web site says the product is currently unavailable and searching didn't turn up any other sources. When we camp I often run a 10' USB cable from the outlet in my dash up into the tent; adding a clip-on outlet inside the tent would be...

Raptor I've used Raptor for quite a few projects, but never on plastic flares. Sounds like the guys at Land Rover Owner magazine like it for that application:

Sam Watson's column on overlanding in Land Rover Owner magazine often has good ideas in it. I highlighted an idea in one of his columns: This is the magnetic utensil rack he's talking about: I mounted one of those on my fridge a long time ago (even before seeing his column). You can see...

Roof Rack Overload How much is too much? I'm pretty sure this is :). Forgive me for deviating from Land Rovers for a minute... the photo above reminds me of seeing sights like this on the road in India: Or what would you think if you came up behind something like this? It's a Mahindra...

A lot of the Series and Defenders I see in the magazines that have roof racks have this style rack, which I've never seen for a Grenadier. I checked the web site (https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/jc202-series-and-defender-roof-rack-galvanised-swb.html) and the price for the Defender 90...

Before the advent of vehicle A/C, Series Land Rovers had a Tropical Roof option, which wis second metal skin over the roof with an air gap between. The air gap is designed to keep the interior cooler; the sun beats down on the Tropical Roof and the air gap prevents the sun from hitting the main...

Maybe one of these would be a good accessory to go with the toilet seat/stool... https://www.campcover.co.za/product/toilet-roll-holder-2/. It's from South Africa but I learned about it from a Land Rover magazine.

This could be useful in the wild for some people... It's about $45 but could be done a lot cheaper - stools like this are available for about fifteen bucks: https://www.target.com/p/coleman-rambler-ii-stool-brown/-/A-77432010 and it wouldn't take much to make a new fabric seat for it - could...

If you've got an awning off the back of your Grenadier and want more light under it after dark: There are lots of LED strip lights on the market that could be used...

Storage on the bonnet? Earlier I posted a soft "bonnet bag", here's a hard one - this box is from South African company ALU Innovations. Unlike the Defender hood (bonnet) I think the back of the Grenadier hood comes up too close to the bottom of the windshield for this to be practical -...

A weatherproof case mounted to the spare? This appears to be a Hardigg case, and the article this Land Rover is in is about a couple whose honeymoon trip is driving their Land Rover around the world. For that trip I guess one would need lots of extra storage, hence the Hardigg (and the other...
