Salvaged the rear step from my ‘83 Land Rover 110… works quite nicely on the Greadier 👍

This is nothing revolutionary in regards to mods (been done by many on here) just figured Id share mine.

Sill Guard with Xpel

Using a heat gun and trim tool I was able to mold the Xpel material to the contour of the door sill and then trim it around the OME plastic guards. (Images taken a few days after install)

Ladder Rung Protection/Grip


I noticed some light surface scratches developing on the access door ladder rungs after a few trips up and down, so with the remaining Xpel material I gave them a bit of protection and added grip.

I haven't opened the pack, it looks like its easy to mold around the ladder supports?

It is a bit stiffer than I thought even with the backer removed (which is ultimately a good thing) and I was installing in temps around 55 degrees F. So I used a heat gun to mold the material around the rungs and door sill contours. There is a fine line between too hot and too cold using the heat gun with this material, it's best to start on the "to cold" end and work up. Incidentally I found that when I had air bubbles trapped under the material I could hit the air bubble with a tad "too much" heat and the bubble would expand and the material would get really soft and the bubble would "pop" and then when removing the heat I would push on the spot with my finger and it would heal up nicely.

Thank you for the information 🙏 I wouldn't have any issues with making it palyable as ambient temp for me is 30c I do like the round edges, looks neat 👍🏼

For that, after cutting the material to length, I just used a quarter-sized washer butted up to the corner and a pencil to create the contour and then trimmed with scissors prior to application

I am planning to build a kitchen drawer system. I know it is quite a large kitchen but I am a foodie and love to cook outdoors. Here is my plan so far. It will be built from birch plywood in 21, 15, 12 and 8mm. The weight of the setup is my biggest concern. What would you change? I am thinking about adding a foldout bed on top. Hmmm...

That's my camping setup now. A drawer kitchen and a drawer fridge. Chairs are the first thing accessible. My table is a real table, not one of these shaky, flimsy, small and low ones. Also easy acessible. It doubles as a sleeping platform. I can lower the left side of my box, put the table on top of the left folded rear seat and get a wonderful sleeping platform.

@Shopkeep, if you don't mind me asking, how is the hood secured to the console? Thank you!
Dimensions are tight so it just presses snugly over the top of the display and holds on. Some thin double sided tape on the top edge of the display may help reduce or prevent any movement and creaks but so far no issues.

my draw fridge and slide draw, coated with raptor paint. Still got room for the dog on top. Will test out over Easter before making finer mods. Battery seems to last 2 days. Charges very fast.

Last weekend I installed sliding windows on both sides. These come from Explore Glazing in the Netherlands. Great quality, perfect fit and well made. If you follow the detailed instructions, assembly shouldn't be a problem for most people.

The hardest part was cutting out the original window panes. There definitely have to be two of you and you need patience! ... not only the cutting wire burned out several times! ;)

I let it dry for 3 days without moving the Granadier. You shouldn't even close the doors.

ideal for my purposes. Great for the dogs, or for sleeping in the car!

For the protective grille / Molle panel you have to drill the holes and cut the thread yourself. But shouldn't be a problem.

Those new side windows look good, like you say they are ideal for dogs without any sticky fingers being poked through the open window.

Your dog must be bloody athletic and have a good aim, to be able to jump into that crate 😃

The box is self-made to maintain a flat surface with the rear seat folded down. On the right side there is space for 2 x 2 liter water bottles for the dogs, rain gear or similar fits under the lid.
I built it myself because, in my opinion, the ones on the market are too expensive and I was happy to take on the challenge of finding a solution that exactly meets my requirements. The whole thing weighs a little under 32kg.
As you can see by the different colors, it was a step by step project. There will definitely be changes...

That looks great! Is it really the same height with the folded seats? It looks much taller than I would have thought. That said, well done!

Thanks a lot Krabby!
I'll take a photo as soon as I get my Grenadier back. He is currently at the dealer to replace the USB C socket. This hasn't worked since it was delivered almost a year ago.
