The Aussies love Cornwall at this time of year, it is/was their home away from home surfing spot and of course our old chef Rick Stein's hunting ground...a little jealous, enjoy and I will keep an eye out for your Gren, cheers max...happy holidaysSorry just going through Wales next 3 daysthen Cornwall.
what a smart addition.I decided to make some simple roof storage in the rear. Bought a small elasticated, double layer, cargo net from Amazon. Gave it a bit more strength with some bungee cords and that's about it.....

I removed the three headliner clips above the rear door. For future reference, these are one time use only. I then added an m6 rivnet, drilled a hole through the washer part of the original headliner fitting and reused it with a load ring. I did this for all three, because I wasn't sure how much tension it would need, but having finished, I could have left the centre fitting alone as I'm not using it.

Above the rear seats I removed the m6 allen head fittings and replaced with the load rings, then clipped the net into place. When my cargo barrier eventually arrives, I'll put the m6 allen head fittings back and clip the net to the cargo barrier.
Simple really, but works. It just unclips if I want to take it out. It does need the additional bungee cords, otherwise it sags.

Yes , my English cousin has lived in St Ives for 20 years and she is an avid surf chick!The Aussies love Cornwall at this time of year, it is/was their home away from home surfing spot and of course our old chef Rick Stein's hunting ground...a little jealous, enjoy and I will keep an eye out for your Gren, cheers max...happy holidays
Sitting on the roof sounds like a good solution (as does reinforcement for the wings0If you had a roof rack, you could place a suitable chair up there, a wingback for example, then have superior viewing and comfortable seating.. In addition, refreshment could be served up to you via the safari roof.
joking aside, I’ll be buying front wing reinforcement once the after market supplies them..
The stainless table I have found does rust if not cleaned and coated, and unfortunately the racks loose their coating (known issue apparently) but I do like what they produce, they just need to work on quality especially at that price point.For my work I often need to setup a mini trade show at agricultural field days, electrical wholesale carparks, customer remises or for product training sessions.
These usually consist of some kind of pop up marquee with foldup trestle tables similar to the picture below. (No not my actual one)
They take a lot of time and a lot of work to setup and pack up.
I am thinking now if i pull up in the Grenadier.
1 minute to pull out the Bush company 270 XT Max awning
Pull out the Frontrunner stainless table from it's under rack mount.
Fold up or quick mount tables on both doors and the rear panel for demo gear and hang some bigger stuff (VSD's) off the molle panel.
Rear doors open with upright fridge and door shelf folded down.
Perfect work vehicle and makes all that stuff tax deductible as a work expense.
Take a few pictures of the first time and bingo
If the Grenadier with that setup doesn't draw in the tradies nothing will.

Yes I have seen that.The stainless table I have found does rust if not cleaned and coated, and unfortunately the racks loose their coating (known issue apparently) but I do like what they produce, they just need to work on quality especially at that price point.
I have made custom brackets for awnings before (Howling Moon 2.5m 6 panel 270deg) which worked well. I'm on the fence as far as BS gear is concerned, so far I haven't seen anything that is suitable for AU conditions IMOYes I have seen that.
Sadly there aren't a lot of good options.
Would like to see more on the Black Sheep racks that sit on the roof and also n awning bracket that mounts to the tie down rails and gutter already on the vehicle
Fantastic idea and simple enough thank you. Would you have an amazon link or size of net used thanks. Would you have used another style in hindsight or this working well?I decided to make some simple roof storage in the rear. Bought a small elasticated, double layer, cargo net from Amazon.

Absolutely correct! Don't drink and drive!
Put that in Pic of the Month and I'll vote for it.
Thank You for the kind words. This is the one I used ….Fantastic idea and simple enough thank you. Would you have an amazon link or size of net used thanks. Would you have used another style in hindsight or this working well?
If these are the Frontrunner chairs, I have two of them. Very robust, and comfortable imo.For my work I often need to setup a mini trade show at agricultural field days, electrical wholesale carparks, customer remises or for product training sessions.
