Grenadiers at SEMA 2024

[jscherb]

I'm at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas and since I just committed to buying a Grenadier (haven't taken delivery yet), I checked out all of the Ineos vehicles at the show. First the Grenadiers...

This one was outside the West Hall:

This one was also outside the West Hall, near the "Overland Experience" area.

It's got a rear drawer and mid-level shelf from Diabolical, and a new swing-down upper rack as well:

They told me the upper rack was patent pending, and I told him a similar product has been available in the Wrangler market for about 6 years. These are photos of the overhead product in my JKU, swung down with a Rotopax, a shovel and some MOLLE pouches on it (left) and stowed:

When I get my Grenadier, I plan to adapt the Wrangler product to it.

These were inside the West Hall:

One more...

This one is from a custom van builder - I guess they were displaying it trying to get customers they could build for, but whenever I passed it there was nobody to ask.

The inside is apparently configured for sleeping, but it's hard to tell how good it was because the sleeping platform was stowed.

This spare-mounted fuel can was on it, it's from Overland Fuel, a European company: https://overlandfuel.eu/. It holds 8.5 liters (a little more than 2 gallons) and fits nicely in the 17" spare. They come in other colors for different fuels and water, and they also offer "rotopax-style" containers. It isn't clear if they can be bought here, clicking on the "Where to Buy" link on their site returns blankness.

Welcome to the forum! The first one is from Leitner (they had another black one on steelies there as well), then you have Diabolical Inc's Grenadier with the storage trays... I'm assuming the Overland of America vehicle is their own marketing vehicle for the show; then Expedition One with their new bumper and other hard parts; and the last one you saw is from RRE Global, they are the US importer for Black Sheep, SPP, and Reiger Suspension

Welcome to the forum!

Thank you. I've been attending SEMA for about a dozen years - I'm an independent designer and I've done product design work for more than a half dozen Jeep and off-road trailer companies. I've been a "Jeep guy" for years; I live on the east coast but have had my Jeeps literally to all corners of the continental US, including up the Dalton Highway in Alaska to Deadhorse on the Arctic Ocean, exploring the Mojave Desert, thousands of trail miles in Colorado and Utah and more.

I've lost interest in the direction Jeep has been going which is why I probably will never own a newer Jeep than the ones I currently own so I'm getting a Grenadier; I made the commitment to the dealer today. It's a Trialmaster and I won't be taking delivery until late November because of some international travel I have to do right after I get home from SEMA.

I plan to adapt many of my Jeep hardware designs and soft goods designs (storage products) designs to the Grenadier, so when I get the Grenadier and start building accessories I'll start a thread so people can follow along with the new (new to the Grenadier anyway) designs.

And for the record, I don't sell anything myself, I'm only a designer. If anything I design and prototype for the Grenadier ever gets sold it will be because a company picks up the design from me and brings it to market.

There were also a couple of Quartmasters with manufacturer license plates.
Strong showing of Grenadiers this year.

Some fabulous stuff there. Love that set up from Diabolical. Great name too!

I've been eyeing the Leitner full-length rack for a while, but my understanding was that it was almost impossible to add a RTT. However, it looks like the Overland of America build is running an Intrepid Geo2.5 on a Leitner rack. I'm curious how this was done as Leitner's site notes the following:

The ¾ and Full-Length platform racks are strong enough to support the heaviest tents. However, due to the low-profile design, accessing the fasteners that secure the tent is nearly impossible.

The option to add a RTT should I ever want to in the future means there is little to keep me from pulling the trigger on the Leitner rack.

I wanted the full rack as well, ended up purchasing four of the Leitner cross bars instead. Picked up their quick attachment kit for my iKamper and now it’s super simple to take the tent off and on. I still would have preferred the full rack, but more for the look than anything. The cross bars work perfectly for what I use them for (roof top tent, surfboards, etc.).
