Our Story: Born from Adventure and Built for the Journey
Stone Accessories began with a dream of embarking on an African overland camping adventure. As a husband-and-wife team, we set out to make it a reality and found ourselves on a journey that would eventually lead to creating a business we love.
Our story starts with a Land Rover hunt. After flying up to see a Defender that wasn’t quite right, we left the dealership feeling dejected and uncertain of our next move. But as fate would have it, just across the street, there she was—a 1996 Defender 110 300tdi with a past we’d never fully know. Without a word, we knew she was the one. We drove her home, camping along the way, and quickly discovered just how costly it could be to equip her for the adventures ahead.
That’s when John, the 'husband' half of the team, put his skills to work. With a background as a qualified aircraft and powerplant mechanic and over 25 years of experience rebuilding aircraft, he began designing his own Land Rover accessories, starting with a custom bash plate.
It wasn’t long before fellow Land Rover enthusiasts took notice and began asking about his designs. Inspired by their interest, we decided to create a line of quality Land Rover accessories for those who share our passion for exploration and off-roading.
Encouraged by our first customers and driven by a shared sense of adventure, John took a leap of faith and left his job to fully commit to Stone Accessories.
At Stone Accessories, we take pride in offering products that reflect our dedication to quality and our love for the journey. Every piece we design is built with the same care and craftsmanship as that first bash plate, helping others to 'kit out' their Land Rovers for the road ahead.
