overlanding

Pickups are great for overlanding. So how does the Quartermaster fair? Here is link to the first in a series of articles I've written since travelling thousands of kilometres on and off-road across the Alps and Pyrenees. Over the next month or so, I will share links to articles covering the...

I am working on a draft checklist with @Rok_Dr when traveling remote or overlanding. Anyone think of more points? Feel free to suggest some. Some suggested checks to help with preventive maintenance when travelling remote. If you are going on a long trip, a pre-trip inspection by your mechanic...

Hello guys, I'm looking for a roof tent for 2 people and wanted to ask you what you have on the roof. I also have the Safari windows and would like to use them and not mess with them. Very happy with pictures:) Hallo Leute, ich bin auf der Suche nach einen Dachzelt für 2 Personen und wollte...

Hi everyone, my name is Finn, I have had my Grenadier Trialmaster for 5 weeks and have already done 6000Kms and am building it to do a lap of Australia. If anyone is from Australia or knows anything about it here, you would know the climate is tough as nails and the terrain just as bad. I will...

I stumbled upon this video ; as I get older I seem to be accumulating stuff and in many ways it makes me feel a little uncomfortable. I do believe in getting somewhere , and then exploring. View: https://youtu.be/Y9e1SIhbDNc?si=tddshcqFuQpSMTb6

As I slowly approach my desire to go overlanding I’ve been buying various camping gear. Mind you I haven’t camped in about 40 years so it ought to be interesting when I do ultimately go. So far I have a tent and 2 sleeping bags (one really old one) and one I recently purchased. I just bought...

Thoroughly enjoyed a weekend of camping with the Grenadier and our Penpod trailer. Dry run for a week of driving through France soon. First time towing with the Grenadier and it’s absolutely great as a towing platform.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and excited to be part of the Grenadier community! I'm in Saudi Arabia and very interested in buying a Grenadier. I've already spoken with a local dealer. My Grenadier Use Case: My main interest is using it for overlanding and recreational activities, which...

As I am anxious about the delivery of my Trialmaster tomorrow, I am also contemplating and planning the build. Please feel free to subscribe to my build thread for ideas and the like. First, as I mentioned I am taking delivery tomorrow of my slate blue Trialmaster with oxford white top. Mods...

Hello I'm Tim (aka LeeroyJ and Hawg) and this thread is where I will detail the build-out of my Grenadier. This will be a work in progress so I'll update this thread as I build my IG. About me: I live near Phoenix Arizona where I recently relocated. I spent most of the past 20 years...

When it comes to SUVs, I understand the awnings and the cargo area kitchens on slide outs. When it comes to sleeping tents, the ones on top make maybe sense to me to keep wildlife at a bit of a stand-off. But especially when it comes to tents, is there some legality that makes it better to...

I collected my donny grey TM diesel in July 2023 to replace my old 2016 defender 90 (i still miss it dearly). I spec'd it without the sunroofs as i have a roof rack, and without the bar/winch as I'd prefer to see what comes up aftermarket. Over the last few months I've been busy learning about...

Just got back to Sydney, having racked up approximately 17,400kms. Corrugations, forest, coastal sand and desert tracks, a couple of river crossings and a LOT of tarmac. Only serious fault was a Steering Control Module failure noted elsewhere on the Forum. This coincidentally occurred within...

Good morning all! Just took delivery of our grenadier the day before Xmas eve! Super excited to start overlanding and camping with my wife and 5 year old son. Anybody else in the south OC area?

Hi all, I plan to build my next Dream-Overlander based on the Quartermaster - here are some mockups. ➡️ Anyone out there who has similar ideas or could contribute some inspiration for the build? 🤩 Always happy to share and learn.

I just finished watching this again and thought I’d share it as something many here might enjoy. A mate of mine Norm Needham and a friend of his and their partners decided to do the Cape trip back in 1975 on the back of a recent trip by Mike and Mal Leyland, Aussie 4wd’ing pioneers. Another...

This is not off road but on road related - but I havan't found a closer match where to post it. @macstech has made me aware of a worldwide car park directory where you can search for parkages by maximum height. That's exactly what we need for such big cars like our Grenadiers. After entering...

Great news for Overlanders who want a pop top Expedition Centre, from Australia, has just announced the first pop top for the Grenadier. Pop tops have been a popular accessory on 4x4s for years because they offer extra space, standing room, a full sized bed and ease of use. So there was some...

Hi everyone, I’m considering an ineos to overland the americas with a family of four. Should I rather choose a Land Cruiser…? It will be a 1-year voyage :) Looking forward to read from all your inputs.

With orders placed, I'm sure many of us are salivating for the day when we get the Gren's keys in our hands and are able to use them for what Sir Jim intended - at least, for the adventuring types (I recognize some will use them for work, but I think NA will mostly be remote area travel users)...

Hello all, I thought it might be interesting to hear different views on the minimal amount of kit/gear that you feel necessary to enjoy an overlanding trip, whether for one week, two weeks or a month or more. Most on this forum have the knowledge and the means to build a full on overlanding rig...

In anticipation of great adventures and the sketchy internet that goes with them we have a supplementary forum interface. In addition to the light and dark themes there is now a low bandwidth option. I've spent enough time on dial up or on satellite internet with terrible contention rates...
