I have a Garvin rack basket that I've been using on two of my Jeeps for years and now I also use it on my Grenadier. I don't have it installed on any of them full time, I just put it on when I need it. To make it easy to swap and install, I hang it from the garage door rails. I put mounted...

It would have been nice if Ineos included a provision for labeling the High Load Aux Switch Panel switches. I've added a number of accessories to those circuits, and it would be helpful to have labels for each circuit so there's no confusion about which switch does what. I've only added things...

I've been working with MORryde on a slide tray for Wranglers, Broncos and also the Grenadier, I've posted about it here before. The project is done and the cargo slide is ready for production, so my part in it is done. As often happens during the product development process, MORryde sent me two...

A few weeks ago I installed a battery monitor on my factory second battery because the dash display only reports on the primary battery. The monitor works very well and since I'm not 100% comfortable with the status display on the dash for the primary battery I installed a monitor on the...

Overland Outfitters sent me a black pocket panel for the small rear door to try out. I've had one in tan installed for a while and I'm finding it very handy. They used my Grenadier in their booth at Overland West and all of their new Grenadier products were installed in it - the products got a...

Some years ago I built an extension for the front of the Garvin rack basket I'd been using on my Jeeps; the extension expanded cargo capacity when the roof top tent was taking up most of the original rack but more importantly it provided a place for a solar panel. The panel stows under the rack...

I'm wondering why, if the Grenadier engineers intended the side-mounted L-tracks to be truly useful, they didn't put one on the top of the side panel? This photo shows a short fragment of L-track left over from my dash mount project posed in place... mounting things on the sides would be much...

When I was shopping for my Grenadier I considered adding the factory front receiver - I use a receiver-mount winch on my three Jeeps and planned to use it with the Grenadier as well. Unfortunately the factory front receiver is only rated for moving trailers around, it's not rated for as much...

Some years ago I implemented a jumper cable/winch power system for all three of my Jeeps which consisted of cables permanently connected to the battery with an Anderson connector on the end, jumper cable ends with clamps and an Anderson connector and an extension cable. I kept a jumper cable...

The Grenadier is a fairly tall vehicle, especially when you add a rack on top and a roof top tent. To keep from going somewhere I shouldn't, like a too-low parking deck, since I reconfigure what's on top of my vehicles for each expedition something I've done in my Jeeps is add a reminder of the...

I think the Grenadier designers could have placed the rear 12v outlet better - a plug in the socket sticks out into the cargo area and something loose in the cargo area could smash into the plug and damage it and perhaps the socket as well. I added an unswitched outlet right above the factory...

I used Cricut Joy matte black removable Smart Vinyl for the one in the photo. I used removable because I didn't know if I would like the look once I applied the vinyl. I do like it so I'll probably replace the removable vinyl with permanent matte black when the removable starts to come off...

Did you ever notice how the only round knob in the cockpit that isn't gray or doesn't have a black center is the rotary knob on the lower console? It's all silver metallic. I decided to fix that with my Cricut vinyl cutter. BTW I added the guards around the knob a while back, here's how in...

For years I've towed this Jeep-style trailer around behind my Jeeps when I need to carry more cargo than will fit in a Jeep. I'm heading to Flagstaff in a week for Overland Expo West and I've got to carry a bunch of things so I got the trailer out of storage today. The trailer is made from two...

Installed the factory Rhino rack bars and mounted my Garvin rack basket to them. I've been using the Garvin for years on two of my Jeeps and since I've got all of the attachments I need for the gear, cargo and roof top tent that I carry in/on it using the Garvin on the Grenadier makes sense...

I have one Warn winch that I've used with all three of my Jeeps for years. It's in a receiver mount and I've designed and built "quick install" receivers for the front of the Jeeps which bolt in place/remove in minutes - since I only need a winch (and therefore the front receiver) when I'm on...

Definitely a good idea, but now that I've made all of the fuse boxes accessible there will no longer be a need to remove or move the plastic. The need for fasteners of some type now if only to keep the plastic from rattling. If I could find 10mm thumbscrews I could use them, or, the Agile...

I can't believe that nobody on the Grenadier design team figured out that the plastic cover over the electrical compartment under the back seat prevents access to many fuses that could be blown while in the wild. I'll call these "consumer fuses", meaning fuses that supply power either to...

I'm still not comfortable with the factory dual battery system; in my Jeeps the dual battery system I've implemented runs the campsite accessories (kitchen/fridge, etc) off the auxiliary battery and those things never drain the main battery. The aux battery gets charged by the alternator when...

I covered that in post #3 of this thread: https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/outfitting-my-grenadier-trialmaster.247640/post-3212907. It's way more than usable, it looks great, functions very well and isn't expensive.
