Land Rover Ideas for Grenadiers

It's not uncommon here in the U.S. to make a trailer out of an old Jeep tub. And in the U.K trailers are sometimes made from Defender/Series bodies. Here's one:

Also notice the extended roof rack on the Defender above.

Because the rear of a Defender tub and the rear of the Grenadier body are similar, if a trailer was made from a Defender it would be a reasonable match for the Grenadier. Problem is though, at least in the U.S., there aren't many Defender bodies laying around waiting to be turned into trailers.

If you've got a Jeep, you don't need to find an old Jeep tub to turn into a trailer - you can build one with a fiberglass kit:

I designed the fiberglass Jeep tub trailer kit pictured above and a company licensed it from me and it's been in production for years.

It comes in several lengths, this is the long version set up for camping:

I wonder if there would be enough interest in a fiberglass Grenadier trailer kit? It wouldn't be hard to create a set of molds to make a Grenadier-styled trailer kit.

A few more nice trailers made from the back of Land Rovers.

Imagine a trailer that matches the Grenadier body.
