Happy days. I’m real keen on a roof conversion 😎
I'm really curious to see what they come up with. It is going to be a big challenge. I'm not interested in a conversion that eliminates the ceiling switch panel, and they've already removed the panel in the vehicle shown. Maybe it's just stuffed in the white bag? :D

I’ll be interested to see if Ineos does a 130 model. To me that would be the one to convert to get the extra room.
I think the Quartermaster double cab pickup is 127” wheelbase as were the early versions of Defender before being named Defender 130

I thought the Trialmaster and Quartermaster have the same wheelbase, only the rear overhang is larger on the Quartermaster!?

I hope they work some magic and it opens sideways, keeping the safari windows and roof panel. Or backwards like the Habitats.

Over length 545mm longer

My guess: around 15'000 Euros. 😵‍💫
A lot of money I know but a roof top top tent can be £3500+ nowadays plus the roof rack to put it on and nowhere near as convenient
I imagine if EX-TEC come up with one then it will be dearer than that. Their Defender conversions are nice but more expensive than Alucab.

Yes.

But that doesn't make it any better.

I only wanted to point out that the roof construction of the Grenadier is a real challenge for the makers and will raise the price tag significantly.

Fair enough. I’m keen on a roof conversion though 👍🏼

8 mm? That’s like 5/16”. Better hope there’s no pebbles along your path!
Well I can always remove the quick release RTT fittings if there is a little kiss.

Taz,
What Rack / RTT combo have you decided to go with?
Looking at a FR Slimline II 3/4 rack to accommodate for my safari windows doesn't leave much room to play with unless I choose to overhang the front portion of an Alucab or iKamper BDV. The Bundutec is about the only one that perfectly fits a 3/4 rack profile.

Thanks!
