Rock N Road 4×4 Expedition Bonnet Bag :: Field Tested

bonnet

When it comes to maximizing storage on a 4WD vehicle, we tend to think we’ve explored every option. But there’s one often-overlooked space that deserves attention—the bonnet. And this is where Brad from Rock N Road 4×4 comes in. Specializing in custom gear solutions for Special Forces, tactical units, rescue teams, and Dakar race vehicles, Brad’s products are designed to handle high-stress environments. His Expedition bonnet bag offers a practical solution to expand usable storage, and the system consists of two components: a bonnet net and the expedition bag. The net is installed on the bonnet, and the bag attaches to the net via D-rings and hooks made from marine-grade stainless steel. The bag latches onto the net in just one minute. Both the net and bag are constructed from military-grade canvas that is 100 percent waterproof, rot-proof, UV-treated, and fire-retardant. Three height sizes are available (150, 200, and 250 millimeters), and a wide range of options are available depending on your vehicle type, color, or dimension preferences.

The bonnet bag can easily store camping chairs, a foldable table, a tent, and sleeping bags. Velcro side closures allow for quick opening and closing, as well as straightforward access to different areas of the bag. We’ve had this expedition bonnet bag for more than two years. It has become an essential storage space to keep gear safe and easily accessible.

The plan is three years, seven continents, and 88 countries in their fully transformed Land Rover Defender 110, aka the Albatross. After spending most of his life between Asia and Africa, Nick worked for a French tech start-up based in Paris. Mathilde, originally from the French Alps completed degrees in international relations before working several years for the United Nations based in Brussels. The French-Italian couple has always traveled together (their first date revolved around a road trip), but they only recently moved to a full-time overlanding lifestyle. They document the Next Meridian Expedition project on Instagram and YouTube in addition to publishing regularly in travel and overland magazines in French, English and Italian.
