In the last post, I mentioned the MORryde Trail Kitchen. It's not a Land Rover Idea for a Grenadier, but it might be worth featuring here because it's a great addition to a Grenadier. 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 and provides a table and a fold-out second table that holds a collapsible sink with running water and plenty of counter space for my stove. Camping in Death Valley in my Wrangler:
I installed the kitchen in my Grenadier, securing it to the L-track in the floor of the cargo area.
Some photos of it in my Grenadier: photos show the full kitchen with a one-burner butane stove (my favorite stove) or a 2-burner Coleman propane stove. Water supply for the sink is the white Rotopax on the side of the enclosure. Water pressure is provided by a demand pump mounted to the front of the kitchen housing; "demand pump" means the pump turns on when you open the faucet and turns off when it's closed. There's an optional side table which is handy when the main table has a large 2-burner stove on it. Under the large main table is a drawer for utensils, etc. Everything collapses into the enclosure (except the stove, although some stoves fit nicely in the drawer). Lots of cargo area is left for more gear.
The small side table option. In the Jeep it goes on the left side but because of the Grenadier's narrow left side door I mounted it on the right side (I had to do a small mod to the kitchen to make that work - I added right side mounting holes for the table); there's still plenty of room to get by it to access the cargo area:
A few more photos:
An option for the Trail Kitchen is a power panel:
In addition to powering the fridge, the Trail Kitchen sink option comes with a "demand pump" to provide water pressure for the sink. "Demand pump" means that when you open the tap the pump automatically turns on and when you close the tap it turns off. Water supply is in the white Rotopax container on the side of the kitchen enclosure.
