If anyone is interested, I posted the Grenadiers and Quartermasters of SEMA over here: https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/ineos-vehicles-at-sema-2024.246435/#post-3194729

Trailmaster. This is a shot of it on the dealer lot: I'll be retiring the JKU, probably selling the custom Safari Cab hardtop and custom flat fenders and putting it back to stock.

Quatermasters...

More... This one is from a custom van builder - I guess they were displaying it trying to get customers they could build for, but whenever I passed it there was nobody to ask. The inside is apparently configured for sleeping, but it's hard to tell how good it was because the sleeping...

I'm at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas and since I just committed to buying a Grenadier (haven't taken delivery yet), I checked out all of the Ineos vehicles at the show. First the Grenadiers... This one was outside the West Hall: This one was also outside the West Hall, near the...

At SEMA I ran into my friend Greg Henderson (Unofficial Use Only: https://unofficialuseonly.com/about) He built the two Quadratec custom Jeeps in the last few years and I worked with him to design storage solutions for those projects that I had Overland Outfitters make. He told me he's got an...

While there wasn't as much innovation in new products at SEMA this year as one might like, I did see a few interesting new products. Yakima was showing two new things. Their "Ribcage" acknowleges that Jeep has never thought they should make a hardtop that's capable of supporting weight on top...

From the point of view of innovative products for Jeeps, SEMA is a bit of a disappointment this year - I didn't see too many new products that I think will make a difference. I'll post a few products when I get a chance, but I'll start with the concepts in the Stellantis space...

They also had a small space in the North Hall, showing one Roxor there:

Today's post is "Cool jeeps you can have" (assuming you might think these are cool), Mahindra had a presence at SEMA this year, mostly they were outside near the Overland Experience... Strangely, they were also showing quite a few Mahindra tractors at the show. If you don't know this -...

About a month ago I posted that I was considering getting a Grenadier (https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/barn-door-for-jk-factory-hardtops.127687/post-3190363). I'm still thinking about it, and found one on the dealer lot that has most of the options I'm interested in - it's got the...

At Overland West this year I picked up a design assignment - a carry bag for the Thunderbox folding toilet (https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/barn-door-for-jk-factory-hardtops.127687/post-3173471). I posted this image at the time: The idea was that OO would manufacture these for the...

Some weeks ago I wrote that OO had asked me to design a new Tactical First Aid/First Responder bag based on their Tactical Tool Bag. They made a prototype of the bag shell for me - it can hang on the seat back the same way their Tactical Tool Bag does. I think I posted this photo when the bag...

A while back at Overland West my JK was being used by both Overland Outfitters and MORryde to show products and in addition to having a number of both of their products in my Jeep I also had my prototype suction-mount trail table installed: At the show MORryde asked me what I was doing with...

I suppose this truly is a Land Rover Idea for a Jeep - it's a billed as "The World's First Sport Utility Kit Car" and is basically a Defender, but you can build it starting with the components from your JKU: https://shop.blackbridgemotors.com/. You can buy everything from just the frame all...

The dealer checked and texted me that a front receiver can be dealer installed at a cost of $684.

I've been thinking about getting an Ineos Grenadier. I first drove one on the test track at Overland West, and in the past few weeks I've visited a local dealer twice and driven models that they have on the lot. Yesterday we visited the dealer for another test drive and looked at a black one...

I posted about the release of the new 4-door Thar, which Mahindra has named "Roxx". Mahindra just posted this image, announcing that there were 176,218 orders for the new Roxx in the first 60 minutes after they opened sales for the new model. I wonder if struggling Jeep is jealous...

The SEMA Show in Las Vegas is in about 5 weeks, I've gone every year for about the last 12 years. My badge for the show came about a month ago, and every year about this time I spend some time reviewing the exhibitor list/floorplan to make a list of things I definitely want to see, vendors I...

Thanks for the nice comments. About the same time you were posting, someone on a JL forum posted this about the JL door pockets: I'm glad so many people find them useful :).
