SET UPS FOR OVERLAND TRAVEL

[GNARBA]

Good’ay everyone from Perth , WA .
I currently own an extensively modified 2009 Defender 110 which is ideal for my remote travels and camping but at some stage in the future, I may wish to build another vehicle for the next phase of my life . ( 70’s - 80’s )
I have been following the Grenadier build since the beginning and have been waiting for the aftermarket industry to get involved to turn this vehicle into an awesome long distance overland tourer / camper . I am waiting to see good solutions for fuel & water storage , gulling windows, interior storage etc etc . ‘ was looking at Black Sheep Innovations this morning . Exciting stuff !
For those of you that already have your Grenadiers , “ half your luck” and enjoy this amazing vehicle.
I look forward to finding out as much detail as I can from you all .
Cheers , John

That is simple but effective use of the rails. Shame we didn't have someone thinking on these lines in the UK?

Big Country, in SA, are working on a drawer system apparently. Just bought a set for my disco and rep mentioned it. They aren’t designed to give you a flat floor when seats down ….. they’ll be higher and usable

Some owners are having issues with bent or pinched seals that cause water to pool in between the outer and inner seal, giving the owner a foot/boot wash when exiting the vehicle. Have a search for it in the group

Wet feet

So am I the only one with the boot rinse option ?? RHD, drivers door The UK has seen some decent rainfall in the last couple of days. After this I have noticed (it’s hard not to), when the drivers door is opened that a wave of water gushes out from the bottom door cill and rinses your shoes...

Cheers mate , thanks for the follow up information .
I have been reading about a few of these annoying issues .
Hope they get seriously looked at by Ineos and properly resolved before I think about placing an order .
Goodluck with your health and the new IG when you finally get it .
ENJOY !
