Yeah, that’s peculiarly conceived. Has a bit of a “let’s post that render the work experience kid produced” feel to it.
The doc. holder is part of the "Ineos" setup for the dealers. It contains iPad/ tablet/check lists etc for the techs preparing the vehicle for hand over and later servicing... the utility belt is a convenient place to stow it out of the way while in the workshop...

Oh yes - I was referring to the jerry can clip and have perhaps picked up the wrong message to reply…

The only real use I can think of is to somehow attach my portable dog shower to the door. And a towel rail 😆.

Having seen the video of the clipboard / document holder, I look forward to driving down the highway at 75 MPH with one of those dangling from a D-ring on my door, perhaps between the 4x 20L NATO Jerry cans full of petrol.
You've got a lot of bad drivers coming the other way? That must suck.

A lot of people will want to attach one of these to use with Starlink , after using their cappuccino maker and 4 burner slide out wilderness kitchen

It’s always hard to store the lance while you don’t need it in the long and deprived journeys. The utility belt will be an ideal solution. Ok opening the door might be difficult…

Believe it or not, I've heard that even shooting while touching a vehicle is illegal in Arizona. I can see not firing from the seat in the interest of further criminalizing poaching, as I think the intent was when they wrote it. Weird law to me, if true, but that's what I've been told. Can't even rest across the bed of a pickup.

In Germany it is forbidden to shoot from a car while hunting. But not forbidden from the car roof or roof rack when the vehicle is stationary. I don't know about the pickup.

In the UK it is illegal to shoot over water...there are odd bits of legislation where ever you look!!

I'm more convinced than ever that Ineos doesn't really have a clue what to do with them. 😕


This might not be the worst idea ever (far from the best though!) - I'm thinking of being an owner who has a few acres or more and needs to ferry fuel and a generator and maybe a welder or something to a corner of the land to do a project. To carry this stuff is a ton of work. Not everyone with an acre or two will have the usual off-road utility wagons that a farmer might have, and if they do, some of them would be smaller and won't carry stuff as easily as the Gren (i.e a four-wheeler or quad bike; great if you have a few acres but not great at moving cargo). Kitted out like this, I'd never go faster than walking speed, but I can see this being a lot easier and safer than making a bunch of trips on foot hauling this stuff by hand. I'd probably find a better way to secure the jerry cans to protect the paint a bit, but I think in the right context I can see myself using the rig in this way (Note: public roads would not be that context!).

As far as examples though this is a bit like showing a person how duct tape can be used if you've lost the pin to the grenade you were carrying and need to hold the spoon in place. Like -- yes, I can see how duct tape would help in that situation....but aren't there better examples of how useful duct tape can be that are probably more applicable to the majority of folks? So I agree with your conclusion that they don't have many ideas on what to do with them!

One of the other uses I was thinking of is if you are clearing or creating trail. Some kind of mount for an axe, shovel, and a scabbard for a chainsaw, some fuel can mounts for oil and gas, as well as a small table for chain sharpening/bar oil fills/etc. mean your trail clearer can easily access his or her necessary tools without having to hop in and out of the vehicle or move a bunch of cargo around to get what they need every 30 minutes, while whoever is driving can continue to crawl forward. This stuff would be demounted and stowed for highway use, but would be very handy to have it "grab and go" once you started work.
