I'm putting an 85lt Bushman upright in mine, should be an interesting projectNot assembled yet. A few things changed since my first concept, this was due to the fridge slide (slide it solutions) I had a measurement wrong, nonetheless very happy with the slide. It's resulted in some tight tolerances.
52 litre bushman fridge. 35L water tank behind the fridge and drawer. Drawer cavity is 700mm x 580ishmm wide.
Will have drop in sides, and with the fridge out a drop in panel for a level floor once again.
Yeah trying to get it all in is a Challenge. I think I've done well... concept wise haha. Execution.... will have to wait till it's complete. Worst case it all gets carpeted to hide any stuff ups.I'm putting an 85lt Bushman upright in mine, should be an interesting project
I have the identical set-up as you have inc the fridge in my 200 series, works well. The best thing about the Grenadier is the square shape as this allows for taller wider load ideas. It's not as deep hence my reasoning in the upright. I've done a mock up on paper.....it should fitYeah trying to get it all in is a Challenge. I think I've done well... concept wise haha.

When you have a recognizable name and allow a company plenty of exposure, all sorts of things are possibleInteresting to see how Scott Brady has got Front Runner to sort a system for him:

I love this drawer system. I built one very similar to it for my disco 2. The long drawer accommodates my long arms and dog/field equipment perfectly. The shorter drawer accommodates my tools and recovery gear. I attached an L track (airline rails) and some D rings on the top of mine to tie things down with. The quality of your work is amazing. Great job.My idea for the drawers was as follows. I wanted a sleeping surface of 170 cm which is my height. I removed part of the seat and folded the backrest. The system should be quick to remove. I didn't want much metal, so I glued it with wooden dowels. My carpenter cut the poplar wood 15 mm thick for me and later constructed drawers for me. The system stands on felt, is screwed into the airline rails and each other and consists of two parts. The drawers can be removed. My Engel fridge will be on the right in the direction of travel, for which I have placed a new power socket from the auxiliary battery in the lid of the right-hand shelf. I have ordered a mattress to lie on, two-part folding so that I can use the rear space as a complete loading area. Here are a few more pictures.
I thought at some point, somewhere in the world, Ineos was using Front Runner racks?Like demonstrating the nonsense written in your own manual:

South Africa/NamibiaI thought at some point, somewhere in the world, Ineos was using Front Runner racks?
Is the one Ineos is calling a ¾ the same as the one you are calling a ½?IA/Rhino have sort of shot themselves in the foot by not offering a 3/4 rack.
I'm still waiting for the dimensions of the 1/2 rack
You're close! A rough calc as follows:I don't believe that's a 3/4 and until someone can post dimensions , neither will anyone else.
It looks square and short.
For the life of me , why can't they specify its size? Is it a state secret?
I applaud the calculation; however, the danger is trusting a rendering that no technically competent persons seems to sign off on before it's uploaded - we've had 3 wheeled vehicles, floating winch recovery kits in the loadspace area and front hitch receivers with winch freespool levers attached, toname but a few.You're close! A rough calc as follows:
The distance from the rear corner of the Grenadier to the beginning of the front "Alpine rail section" is 113cm. The "Alpine" section is an additional 63cm (total distance 176cm), while the total distance from the rear to the front of the roof at the windscreen is approximately 270cm.. So 135cm (half way) is approx. a hand span along the front alpine insert from its rear.
A true "3/4" rack (202cm) would extend a (large) "hand span" past the front edge of the forward "Alpine" rail insert.
So in total the photo example, allowing for parallax error is a "couple of feet short.... " of a true 3/4

Thanks Denis but saturday night - I've had 3 glasses of wine - too complex for me - what about drawing a picture!You're close! A rough calc as follows:
