What are your favorite “convenience” accessories? Phone mounts, small shelves etc…

[ANNML]

There are so many cool small accessories that I’ve run across on this forum but I’m never really sure which ones people get and really love — and which ones people get but find they’re not as useful as they thought.

I’m talking mostly about the smaller items like — the small shelves that can mount on the ceiling panel, the mount thing that can go under the display panel (lost my picture of it but hopefully you know what I’m talking about) - my hubs mentioned this one but doesn’t stuff get in the way of controls if things are mounted there…?

Favorite under-seat storage options? Phone mounts that don’t fall off in the heat (gets 117 degrees here!) What else?

My magnetic phone mount was not expensive, contains wireless charging and holds my iPhone very securely. I also value my rear roof shelf and the Bison side baskets that I have recently added. Helps keep the rear of the vehicle really tidy.
Not yet decided which under seat bags to opt for. I suspect Tougher will win out as they are a reasonable price and very functional.

I like that phone mount!

Owl has an obsession with quality, and that translates into all the parts we make but also the parts we sell. If you want to hit the tails with the most trusted parts in the industry, trust Owl Grenadier accessories. Remember - Owl products are made in the USA, and we have over 600 5⭐️ reviews...

Get the Owl insulated sunshades if you have the Safari Windows. You don't even need to attach the additional magnets since the fit is so perfect I just use the magnets already in the shades themselves to keep them attached. Tested at 75mph+ with windows down and they hold. When you don't want them on, just pull them off.

They also have a few quality of life upgrades like the metal "OS" handles that are stupid easy to install.

I'm still on the hunt for a phone mount that doesn't block a vent and also doesn't have visible wires hanging from everywhere

On my list, I also have the Rosen Visors as supplied by Owl. Expensive, but appears to be a quality product. Logsplitter highly rates them as do one or two others.

Small but very effective, dash-organiser mounted vertically at knee hight between drivers knee and central console.
Gives me additional storage space which is reachable during a drive.

Got the Rosen visors from Owl. For me, in daylight worth every penny because of the small front window. There are some noticeable reflections at night though, for me nothing inconvenient. The visors can be extended so to cover parts of the side window and of the safari window - not sure how this complies with the front and side airbags.

Picked a couple of these up at the local agricultural cooperative on clearance a few weeks ago at around a fiver a piece/ They fit well under the front seats as long as you don't over stuff them. They are robustly made. Have put link below where they are £10-95 which is still good value I think. I was too tight to buy some of the bespoke ones that have been recommended on this forum.

+1 for the Bison roof shelf.
+1 on the side basket too (I only have the right side and it's an Amazon China one). Unfortunately, Bison had not yet released theirs or I would have gotten from them.
I have some @OverlandGearGuy door pouches for the rear and pocket liners in the front. Also have visor storage things from him too. Quality is great, but they're a bit expensive.

I like the Amazon Side passenger side basket and would get one for the drivers side but they don’t make them for the Trialmaster.
I like my cheap nano magnetic phone mounts for the dash.
I like the Tougher underseat bags as well as the seat, dash and spare tire covers.

Owl console work belt with bullet point mounts, owl grab bars, Koan roof shelf and inside molle panels.

I got the little silicon tray that sits behind the central display on the dash. I'm surprised how much I like it. Stash my garage door opener in it and when I'm on a road trip it's a great spot for a small snack bag (I like cashew nuts). I put my Garmin mini inreach in there. Really good and cheap. eBay has them. I did not use the double sided tape, it sits steady anyway

Great question @ANNML. I am also interested in options for keeping things tidy, mainly in the load space, like the overhead shelf, side baskets, and cargo drawer system.

I have the Tougher seat covers front and rear as well as the dash cover. This added a total of 11 pockets (3 per front seat, 3 on the rear bench and 2 zippered pockets on the dash cover). Very handy and they hold a lot of stuff. I have binoculars in the passenger front seat back, reusable grocery bags, plastic bags, gloves and a hand broom in the rear seat back pockets. Winch remote lives in the small shoulder front seat pocket and it doesn’t impede center console lid opening.

I find it silly how so many people complain about the lack of storage. We have so many options for such a new car brand to customize and make it your own. Isn’t that almost as much fun as actually using the products?

Enjoy the journey everyone, try to smile along the way and remember that if you’re lucky enough to own/drive a Grenadier, you have it so much better than the vast majority of people out there.
