Installing the guards... I made a drilling template on the computer to ensure accurate placement of the holes, drilled the holes, installed the guards and reinstalled the panel. It was a pretty quick project and I'm happy with the results. Photos of the drilling template and a few other...

A lot of the switches on the Grenadier's center panels have guards around them and I don't know if these are supposed to be functional or if they're just cosmetic: I was thinking that the rotary knob could use some guards (or cosmetic enhancement?) so I found some rack handles that are a...

I've got that covered... I made a set of clamp-on lights for use with the Trail Kitchen in the Jeeps, they work just fine in the Grenadier as well (https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/barn-door-for-jk-factory-hardtops.127687/post-3120588). They plug into the Grenadier's rear power...

I've been thinking about the best place to store a fire extinguisher in my Grenadier. In my Jeep Wranglers I have extinguishers mounted on the roll bars but there being no roll bar in the Grenadier, that's not an option. The only commercial options I've found for the Grenadier place the...

The craftsmen at Overland Outfitters factory also made two versions of the overhead gear panel that mounts to the blank space in the overhead console for testing. I installed them to verify the fit and they fit perfectly. One version has a pocket sized for things like sunglasses plus 4 elastic...

One of the preproduction samples the craftsmen at Overland Outfitters made for me last week is the rear door pocket panel design. This replaces the factory plastic panel on the door and installs with the factory screws. It's got 4 fixed pockets plus a removable cargo bag that uses the recess...

One detail I should show that wasn't on the bag at the time I took the photos... normally one will hang the bag with just the zipper, and for daily driving and moderate trails this works great and makes for very quick removal of the bag should you need to take it with you. But for extreme...

This morning I installed the final design Grenadier cargoside bag and its mount. The bag is an adaptation of one Overland Outfitters makes to go in the bed of the Jeep Gladiator; for the Grenadier I've modified to mount differently and a carry handle has been added. The craftsmen at OO are...

I've been looking for a way to mount accessories on the dash in front of the steering wheel. The "tray" there is so shallow that it's pretty much useless, so I looked for a solution to replace the tray. I'm aware of the mounting systems that go just below the center display but I think...

This might be a winner...

A few of the photos submitted in response to my post about the catalog. I've mocked them up into potential catalog covers...

Thank you. The longest drive I've taken so far is from Wilmington, DE to Boston and back, about 750 miles round trip. The Grenadier drove and tracked just fine at speed on the highway. When I bought the Grenadier I had the dealer swap the factory steering stabilizer for the Fox product; test...

Overland Outfitters is looking for a good Grenadier photo for the cover of their first Grenadier-specific catalog. The photo should showcase the Grenadier in an overlanding/camping setting, out in the wild preferably, but a driveway shot of a Grenadier well equipped for overland adventures...

As you all have experienced, there's never enough storage in an expedition vehicle. I've got Overland Outfitter door pockets in my Wrangler and I find them very handy for lots of smaller items. When I got my Grenadier I suggested to OO that they consider adding Grenadier door pockets to their...

In my last post I showed the MORryde Trail Kitchen installed in my Grenadier. In this post I'll show how I powered it. I could have used the factory "cigar lighter style" outlet in the cargo area, but my experience over the years is that plugs in those can vibrate loose on trails, so I...

For years I've used a MORryde Trail Kitchen in my JKU and LJ Wranglers while on expeditions. It installs/removes very quickly so when I'm using the Jeeps as daily drivers the kitchen sits in the garage. The kitchen holds a fridge on a slide-out, a drawer that slides out from under the fridge...

I've been at the Overland Outfitters factory for the last couple of days helping them get a few new Grenadier designs ready for production. One of the designs I did for them is a rear door storage panel. A few weeks back I made a CAD template for the door panel; the pattern included the recess...

Another use for the tie downs on the roof - we can hang our "Camp Cabinet" there when we're camping. It's from Overland Outfitters, think of it as your bathroom cabinet for camping. It's got a fold-away table, pockets and places to store everything for our morning routine. There's an...

There are cargo-wall L-track kits on the market with prices from $100-$200 per pair but they're pretty easy to DIY. I did these for about $20 per side. I started with a 24" piece of L-track on eBay for $18.95. Because the side wall tie-downs and the holes they bolt into are recessed into...
