I have a contact at Decked who says they might consider making a kit for the Grenadier if they could access a vehicle to 3D scan. Anyone near Sun Valley/Ketchum up for a visit? I can put you in touch if you're interested.
I’m in Boise - I can take a trip to see them.
I've been asking them for years (owned 3 sets of their drawers) when they were going to get into the SUV market... Maybe now that Yakima has started making drawer systems for vehicles they've decided to reconsider (half joking, half serious with that comment)
I did the math comparing the weight on one of their pickup systems (lbs/in2) to what the more common manufacturer setups for SUV drawers are. It's a big difference. A little over half the weight compared to wood or steel. Composites are the future and Decked has a huge head start on a lot of shops. If they can scale their stuff down to get the volume/weight math right they could dominate. Grenadier would be a small piece of that, but it'd be a sweet way for them to jump into the market.
Given the low volume production and small percentage of the market share, I'm impressed that so many companies are jumping on board with it; which further gives credibility to the "Built on Purpose" slogan and avenues of marketing (or lack there of).
