Every exterior accessory on a Grenadier eventually needs somewhere to bolt to. That's why the roof rail goes on first, then the step that lets you reach it, then the lower rails that organize the gear you don't want inside the cabin.
5 INEOS Grenadier Upgrades to Install in Order
- DualTrack-T™ MAX Low-Profile Roof Crossbar System: the roof interface everything else references.
- Side Steps (Set of 2), Black or Red: folding step for reaching roof cargo.
- Exterior Utility Belt: six parked-use exterior L-Track positions around the vehicle.
- Side Accessory Carrier: a full-length side bridge for expedition gear on the Station Wagon.
- Ladder-Mounted Accessory Carrier: rear-ladder storage that still lets you climb.
Why This Order Works
Each upgrade depends on the one before it. DualTrack-T™ MAX defines the roof interface. Folding steps make that roof reachable for loading and inspection. The Exterior Utility Belt adds parked-use attachment points along the doors and trunk sides. The Side Accessory Carrier handles moving gear on the Station Wagon, and the Ladder-Mounted Carrier adds rear storage without spending a roof-rail position.
DualTrack-T™ MAX Low-Profile Roof Crossbar System
Build the roof interface before deciding where anything else sits.
DualTrack-T™ MAX runs an L-Track channel and a 25 mm T-slot in the same low-profile rail. Two accessory standards, one rail. Awnings, lighting, solar brackets, recovery boards, cargo hardware, antennas, and tie-downs bolt on without a full platform rack.
The rails attach at the Grenadier's factory roof points. Pick the two-rail or four-rail kit based on what you'll actually carry, and stay under the vehicle's roof load rating.
Side Steps (Set of 2), Black or Red
Repeatable roof access without a permanently exposed running board.
These folding steps bolt to the rear door hinges and lock both stowed and deployed. The set covers driver and passenger sides in matte black or red powder coat. Aggressive grip teeth hold your boot when reaching roof cargo, a rooftop tent, or the DualTrack-T™ channels.
"Besides obvious ease of entry to the cabin, front and rear side steps play a role in erecting the roof top tent and providing access to equipment stored on the roof."

The hinge-mounted format fits both Wagon and Quartermaster. Installation takes about 10 minutes per side using the existing hinge hardware.
Exterior Utility Belt, Full Set
Six L-Track positions running the length of the vehicle for parked use.
The full set covers all four doors plus both rear trunk-side positions. DVA builds it from 6061 aluminum, anodizes the base, then powder-coats over the anodize for added chip, scratch, corrosion, and UV protection. Use attached accessories only while parked, and remove them before driving.
The belt bolts to existing points and takes L-Track accessories for parked campsite organization. Do not use it to secure cargo while the vehicle is moving.
Side Accessory Carrier
Move the gear you grab most out of the cabin and onto the flank.
The Gen 2 Side Accessory Carrier runs a full-length bridge along the Grenadier Station Wagon. Its lower-profile 6061 aluminum body uses factory attachment points. The live DVA product page lists a 25 lb limit per rail.
Jerry-can hardware, recovery boards, fire extinguishers, and tools stay within arm's reach on the trail. Fits the 2021–2026 Station Wagon. Not listed for the Quartermaster.
Ladder-Mounted Accessory Carrier
Turn the rear ladder into a gear zone you can still climb.
The Gen 2 carrier bolts straight to the factory rear ladder and holds jerry-can carriers, MOLLE panels, recovery boards, and general overlanding kit. The layout leaves the climb path open.
This is where rear storage goes when you don't want to spend a roof-rail position on it. Accessory mounts and containers sell separately.

Building a Quartermaster?
Steps 1, 2, 3, and 5 fit. The Side Accessory Carrier is Station Wagon only, so use the Utility Belt for parked organization and the ladder carrier for gear carried while driving. On any variant, plan the total roof load before ordering the four-rail kit.
