IG alternative to Jeep ducks- add-on for the utility rail?

In all seriousness, what about little plastic army men? They're cheap, easy to store, aren't fragile, etc.

Even if it's the other guys, the idea is there. I doubt you can just order one style of guy (for a cost that makes sense).

How about the old Grenadier uniform pin? There's also this "Grenadier Retriever" patch...

Searched Amazon for toy pineapple grenade and got some interesting results:

Though Im not sure how folks would "Welcome" coming back to this on/around/near their Grenadier:

As long as you avoid, checkpoints, tunnels and access controlled bridges and ferry’s….you should be good

Bolt a flute or recorder onto your side rails. Wind power.
Roll down the highway playing intervals and chords with fellow Grenadier drivers.
Hey, it'll keep the deer away.

Here is what I worked up. Made some and had them tested by the guys at Red Noland in The Springs. They posted some pics of them mounted on a truck. I also crafted one for Krabby based on his avatar.

They push onto the rail and have a spring powered ‘pusher’ that keeps it locked in when you slide it half a mount diameter either way…

This is the way…

LOVE IT!

How are they made - 3D print?
How are they colored - enamel paint?

Very cool idea!

3D printed on a Prusa XL printer which allows you to use 5 different filaments in one print. Yours and the CO flag were printed 'face-down' so they are perfectly smooth. I used ASA filament so the plastics should be exterior durable- at least from a resin side, not sure on the pigment side. I'm not internet savy, or I'd post some videos of the printer in action.

I'm sure teh engineers will laugh at my system. I'm actually a chemist by degree, but I love 'engineering' things with my crude skills.

My thought was to release what I did so people can make their own. Just tied down with EOY stuff for work.

Very cool.

if can somehow manage to incorporate into the utility rail, possibly use of a 3d Printer.
(heads to Ask Jeeves)
Edit: t'was thinking a way to combine a 'friendly' grenade (of course the comes to mind) along with either a 'Thumbs Up' / 'V' (Victory) and ability to attach to the utility rail. However not sure how other IG Owners would have the same enthusiasm for such an adornment attached to their vehicle exterior.
