For years I've used a Garvin rack basket on both of my Jeeps. It's worked very well and I've developed the accessories I need to carry the range of items I take with me on expeditions, so I'd like to use the Garvin on top of the Grenadier as well. I've attached a number of photos of the various...

The other day I texted MORryde about this slide for the TJ/LJ market because I posted it on the WranglerTJ forum and there seemed to be a lot of interest in it there even with people knowing that MORryde probably wouldn't do a mounting kit for hte TJ or LJ so mounting would be up to the buyer ...

Thank you very much. Lots more to do!

Picked up a preproduction sample cargo-side bag at the Overland Outfitters factory last week. It's basically identical to the prototype I've been testing for the past few weeks; I made the prototype and the craftsmen at OO made this preproduction sample. Since it's identical to what I made, I...

I decided to add some expedition-themed graphics...

I was originally thinking of hanging a standard fire extinguisher to the MOLLE panel on the rear door so it could be handy to fight possible fires on the camp stove, but I decided that the Element extinguisher was a better use of space and probably better for fighting cooking fires anyway. But...

I'm back from the Overland Outfitters factory with some new pre-production samples to test. I brought back new pocket panels for both rear doors, a new First Aid bag to zip into the wide rear door pocket panel, a MOLLE panel for the narrow rear door and a cargo side bag. I tested them all for...

While at the Overland Outfitters factory last week I asked them to sew prototypes of two styles of panel for the small rear door. One version has pockets and it matches the pockets on the large rear door panel I posted the other day. The other version has a MOLLE/PALS grid. I'll install and...

I've been in New Delhi for the past week and this morning I took a walk in the complex I'm staying in to check out Mahindra Thars - there are quite a few in this complex. Here's a pair: Something I've noticed on many Thars in my many trips over here - quite a few of them have hinge-mounted...

"Trials" are mostly a UK/Europe thing. They're offroad events where you must drive your 4x4 along a prepared course, staying within the confines of the course (often marked with cones). You lose points for going outside the course outlines and other infractions. The emphasis is on driving...

I've been at the Overland Outfitters factory this week, helping them finish up some preproduction samples. I've now got a preproduction Cargo Side Bag and a preproduction First Aid Bag for the rear door panel. Photos of both are attached. I've also attached a photo of the prototype Cargo Side...

What's in my sewing room... the ladder from my Grenadier. It came with my TrialMaster but I didn't need it so it's been off the vehicle in my garage since I got the Grenadier. But I brought it to the sewing room to implement an idea - a cargo bag that mounts on the ladder. The bag matches...

That's the factory dual battery controller. The inverter is behind the drivers side cargo area side trim panel.

I'm headed to the Overland Outfitters factory this week. They'll have a production candidate cargo-side bag for me and a production candidate First Aid Bag to zip into the rear door pocket panel. In addition, I'm bringing patterns for panels for the small rear door. The first one is a pocket...

Overland Outfitters makes MOLLE wraps for the headrests JK and JL Wranglers and I've found them handy over the years so I tried them on the Grenadier headrests. Unfortunately the Grenadier headrests are different enough in size from either the JK or JL Wrangler headrest that they don't fit well...

I've been working up a list of spare fuses I think I should carry and I'm frustrated by access to many of the fuses. Many of the fuse boxes are hidden under the plastic panel under the rear seat, requiring quite a bit of disassembly to get at them. That's dumb - you need multiple wrenches to...

A few weeks ago I posted about adding a section of L-track to the dash mount things like my GPS: https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/outfitting-my-grenadier-trialmaster.247640/post-3213932. It's worked out fine and I've been experimenting with other types of mounts that can attach to the...

I've been working with MORryde on a cargo slide; it's for the JKU and JLU Wranglers and the Bronco. It also installs in the Ineos Grenadier (hey, now that I've got a Grenadier, I'm not going to miss an opportunity to adapt something to it). In the JKU: The TJ/LJ isn't on MORryde's radar for...

I'm experimenting with the rooftop circuits; my first experiment is a campsite light. I found mounting brackets to fit the roof rails on eBay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/135462984283): ...and got some DTP connector pigtails on Amazon (https://a.co/d/aPmW4OX). nd a wing nut (so it can be...

Two weeks ago I wrote that I've been working with MORryde on a cargo slide for the Grenadier: https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/outfitting-my-grenadier-trialmaster.247640/post-3212913 They had sent me a preproduction sample; I installed and test it and posted about it. Yesterday a...
