This is a grab bar bag and attaches to the bar in a Series Land Rover. The bag isn't on the company's web site anymore so maybe it wasn't popular. I do like the idea of attaching things to the grab bar though. Overland Outfitters has offered what they call Grab Bar Pockets for Jeeps for...

This photo was part of an article about a well-equipped overlander. One interesting detail is the onboard hot water shower. Check out what looks like garden hoses on the A-pillar. The article says the shower is plumbed into the engine heater, has a pump and two stainless steel tanks for...

This Series 1 107" is outfitted as a family overlander - two roof top tents, one for the kids and one for mom & dad. Looks like a longer roof rack over the windshield is needed for this: A good idea for overlanding families?

More storage? Not sure this one is a great idea, it may be ok on a Land Rover hood, but how about on a Grenadier hood? Also this apparently isn't waterproof, so it's only good for nice days? Notice the hood it's on is protected by diamondplate, probably not a good idea to put something like...

think this roof box is a nice idea. When I've got the roof top tent on my Grenadier, there's extra space on the rack for other gear. A "streamlined" storage box like this could be useful: Another one: This one is with an AluCab pop-top. I did a design for a box like these, printed it...

It's pretty common for jerry cans to be carried on the side of the hardtop on a Defender and there are similar mounts on the market for the Grenadier. But if you look closely at the photo above, there appears to be a length of L-track just below the roof drip rail. I've always wondered why...

I'll start with roof racks - Land Rover people seem to be much more serious about roof racks than we are here. Like this one, which extends out past the windshield. I've never seen a roof rack on a Grenadier that extends past the windshield. Why is that? Seems like the extra space could be...

When I lived in London about 20 years ago I got in the habit of reading Land Rover magazines - Land Rover Owner and Land Rover Monthly. I picked up subscriptions when I moved back to the US because almost every issue has something interesting that could apply to my Jeeps. I started this...

Seems likely that one will go into production, OO has asked me for the patterns so they can make them.

I don't know what the Grenadier designers were thinking when they created the storage compartment in front of the jack. It's hard to store anything in there because whatever is in there will be in the way when you need the jack, also things in there will rattle around because there's no...

Perhsps Alu-Cab should offer them as a product or feature of the conversion?

One of the benefits of using the same roof rack on all of your vehicles is that every accessory for that rack can be used on every vehicle. I posted one example a few weeks ago - the slide-out solar panel that lives under the front rack extension. Here's another one... a few years ago I made...

Yesterday when I posted the door pocket for the inside of the small rear door, someone asked me the pocket panel could include pulls for closing the doors from the inside. I thought it might be a good idea, so I sewed a quick proof-of-concept and posted a photo. Today I made a few slightly...

Thank you for the kind words. Sewing things like this is actually much easier than, say, sewing a dress for my wife :).

My previous post shows a pocket panel I designed and sewed for the narrow rear door. I sent the design to Overland Outfitters and they decided to put it in production and their craftsmen are sewing the first production run right now. They're making them in black and tan; since the one I made...

I could use the space so I've decided to part with my collection of Land Rover Owner and Land Rover Monthly magazines from the UK. As you've seen in this thread, there are lots of good ideas in these that can apply to Jeeps and overlanding in general. This collection goes back to 2012...

I'm not sure I understand what the Grenadier designers were thinking when they created the compartment in front of the jack compartment. It's hard to store anything in there because whatever is in there will be in the way when you need the jack, also things in there will rattle around because...

It's been two weeks since I dropped my Grenadier at the dealer - it was time for its first annual service, applying the software update, replacing a leaking rear pinion seal and diagnosing several error codes. The errors were due to a faulty plug in one of the wiring harnesses and it took a...

OK, I'll play again... this is an 18,000 lb. recovery job... One of the things we're doing to our new-to-us 200-year old house is restoring the exterior - a lot of the siding has seen much better days. The contractor brought a cherry picker so they could work on some of the higher spots. It...

I dropped the Grenadier at the dealer today for its first annual service. I've only owned it since November, but the Service notice on the dash says it's due - I guess the dealer didn't reset the interval before delivering it to me. In addition to the normal 1-year items, it's going in for...
