is the rear access ladder a must have.

[emax]

But it looks manly from the outside.

Unfortunately, nobody can see from the outside who "the man" inside is.

 

[acwiltshire]

reminds me of the backyards with shards of broken bottles cemented into the tops. oi, staye the fook oot me yard oik!

This is fine , but these days dont forget that you have to have a sign up. Caution glass may injure , and climbing wall can be hazardous.

I think I need to get a sign made up for my Grenadier then. “Beware of the Owner. Touching this vehicle could have fatal consequences “ . Although the average Pikey trying to steal it probably can’t read.

I don't know if people are over thinking it?

I've had not one but two ladders on the back of my old Defender for the last 10 years, parked it all over the place and never come back to find squatters taken up residence on my roof rack...

I have had kids climbing all over the back of my defender in Morocco whilst driving through the streets of Tangiers and whilst In Malawi you dare not stop if you ever had room on the back of my pickup as kids would be all over it

 

[Logsplitter]

For anybody that has some maxtrax or something similar could they try attaching them to the rear ladder. I don’t know whether the handle for the back door would still be accessible with this set up but if it was this would suit me.

That's exactly how I see it.

Prince Andrew would pay you top money for that defender!

Probably a ton more visibility but where would you carry a spare? Certainly can’t go without one.

 

[YIPPE]

yours @YIPPE ?

No not mine. Found through FB. Someone who has changed tyre size.... Possibly fitting the black sheep spare wheel mount for bigger tyres.

 

[MurphyMurph]

For me one of the huge appeals of the Grenadier is being able to easily climb on it and attach things to it.

I would be surprised to see many builds without the ladder. Even if you don't think you need it, might as well get it to ensure resale value. Visibility out the back is going to be bad in any event.

“Resale value”? Isn’t this everyone’s forever vehicle?

Depends on the age of the buyer!

tie it down on the floor in the rear?

 

[DaveB]

I have driven many vehicles that you can't see out the back window so limited view is no problem
Side mirrors work fine and reversing camera if you have to.

 

[grenadierboy]

Agree Dave but the rear view out the G Wagen is better than the Grenadier.

I think the spare wheel is held higher up on the large cargo door and slightly lower on the G wagen barn door.

Also the one door. 2 doors doesn't help. However my disco I used the solar screens on plus cargo barrier with storage bags I was never seeing out the rear.... Wasn't a problem and also had no reverse camera.

very interesting. you get use to seeing it with the spare, and without it it looks a little strange because you're not use to seeing it that way.

it looks as if there's a bolt hole that remains from the delete. I wonder if this remove was as simple as it looks. I wonder. how it
would look minus the ladder as well.

Ich war ein paar Mal in einem verdrehten Verstand - ich bestellte es ja oder nein.

Pro - einfacherer Zugang zum Dach, vielseitig, auch wenn ich es jetzt nicht brauche - was in Zukunft passieren kann - auch einige Reisen planen - auch wenn ich kein "Überlander" bin - und unwahrscheinlich ein Dachzeltschläfer. Wenn ich reise, dann wäre es von Lodge zu Lodge oder Hotel oder B&B.
Nur in sehr seltenen Ereignissen würde ich in der Natur übernachten. Aber es könnte ein paar Sachen auf dem Dach gepackt sein.

Con. Das Auto wird ziemlich oft in der Öffentlichkeit geparkt - auch über Nacht.
Es gibt (und in zunehmender Zahl) Streiche und Idioten, die es als Einladung und Gelegenheit nehmen könnten, auf das Fahrzeug zu klettern. Vielleicht, um Vandalismus durchzuführen oder einfach nur, weil sie ihre Fähigkeit mit einem hohen Gehalt an C2H5-OH im Blut überschätzen. Was passiert, wenn so ein Typ hinfällt.. (Verrässigkeit)
Herr Anselment (K&E) sagte mir jedoch... es sollte nicht zu schwierig sein, auf das Dach zu gelangen, indem man auf das Hinterrad tritt und die Seitenleisten auf dem Dach in den Griff nimmt. Wenn es also einen Willen gibt, auf das Dach zu klettern, werden sie es tun.

Also endgültige Entscheidung, ich werde die hintere Leiter haben. -
Aber was ich tun werde, ist, einen Blocker zu bekommen, der den Zugang zu den unteren Stufen unter der Heckscheibe verhindert. (und ein Aufkleber "Zugriff verweigert") Mal sehen, ob es einen Aftermarket gibt, der in den Stufen gesperrt und gesperrt werden kann. Vielseitig wäre, dass dieses Gerät als erster Schritt verwendet werden kann oder anderen Zwecken wie einer Trägerplatte dient. - Ich habe einen Metallarbeiter in der Stadt, um mit jemandem zu diskutieren, der Ausrüstung für Grenadier verkauft.

Mein Wunsch nach einer Verbesserung für Grenadier Next Gen.. haben eine Art Leiter, die schnell abgenommen / befestigt und verriegelt werden kann

On mine comes this label: "Hunting facility - trespassing prohibited"
