I'm looking for some inspiration for some accessories to make. Mind showing them?

I have a cat in each of my rigs, always a cat.

My cat "Magic".

I guess it depends how you plan to make them. I'm not really interested in the 3D printing side, so I made a few things with Balsa wood - remember that!?

For our two Defenders I made "vintage" travel trunks, complete with genuine reproductions of old (famous) hotel labels, a selection of jerrycans, and a tool box, all Balsa. I made a ridge tent out of canvas, which stows on the roof rack along with the poles etc., and a couple of traction "boards" out of some metal grill material I had knocking about. Ropes etc are easy.... And, I printed my own rally/expedition/advert plaques and signs, on waterproof, self adhesive vinyl sheet.

A few photos:







And, we did buy a few things as well!

Depends on if you want static or functional accessories...

Static accessories are ok, but I tend to lean towards the functional...

Here are brackets for holding a winch anchor and tow rope...

I’ve tried to make that out of styrene before... didn’t work out well, wouldn’t close well and the tent was just ugly. I might do a 3D printed 2.0. version, but my tent making skills are terrible.

Wow! That’s really nice looking! I might give balsa wood a try, I remember it being pretty easy to work with compared to styrene.
