transfer case...….he still hasent pulled it...if he did, he did not mention it?
Concurrently, I am fitting out the vehicle with overlanding kit. Here is my choice to keep things cool. After much advice from the forum, I did go with the recommendations to purchase a high quality cooler and not a refrig unit. I chose the Pelican 70 Qt as my primary cold storage unit
I purchased a single dry basket, but after seeing the quality and fit, I just ordered a second one
After relooking the storage plan, I changed up the seat arrangement. Initially putting that empty but still heavy thing on top of the soon to be bed, I decided to fold the existing double seat and put it there. With this space now to be used for the cooler and for general packing, I will mount the seat I removed and make that a passenger seat
Don why did you not get upgraded longer braided brake lines? Don’t those provide better brake pedal push? All things involved it looks great. Hope to hear it soon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Chief, not sure what first aid kit you ordered, but it seems most of them come with less ofThe stuff you’ll use/need, and more ofThe stuff that is just that... stuff. I spent some time a while back finding a kit that was a good base, then added a smidge of things to it. It now travels EVERYWHERE with us, to include every flight in a carry on. Maybe consider adjusting the kit a wee bit when it shows up. I know there’s some EMS guys on here that might be able to give some decent pointers, maybe they’ll give their input.Awesome to see your making great progress!
Don had a thread about med kits a long time ago. I've been building kits from supplies from these guyshttps://www.chinookmed.com/?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=**LP%20Search%20-%20Branded&utm_term=Chinook%20Medical&utm_content=Chinook%20Medical

I did based on what it had (Like 350 pieces) and available storage space. I plan to velcro that to the aft hatch, so initial size, about 12" X 10" X 8" was a big considerationI will add a bunch of stuff to it, and additionally store other stuff that I may need, but not common use like Israeli bandages, in the vehicle somewhereI picked up some perfect Bosch L-boxes that are deeper and fill up the drawers completely. One will be a tool box, another a cooking box, a third a catch all. I think you'll like the organization I get out of the packing scheme

Combat medkit is already built up in a small ruck. Should I get into a more serious situation, that ruck would get tossed inside prior to lighting off the spark plugsNevertheless, a throat tube, some clotting bandages or powder, some steri closure strips, a big abdominal bandage and am asherman chest seal along with my fav Israeli battle bandage is always along for the ride. For anything beyond that, there is one of my aviatin' brothers in a whirly bird

For anything beyond that, there is one of my aviatin' brothers in a whirly birdSince we travel with a small child I bought a couple RAT tourniquets because windlass styles like the CAT aren’t effective on pediatrics. The RAT isn’t on “the list” but it’s the best option I could find for limbs that small. Something is better than nothing. A nasal airway is cheap and is a good alternative to the oral in case someone still has an intact gag reflex. I’d also consider a pocket mask (with one way valve) if you don’t already have one. I am extremely picky on who I’d use one on but since I usually travel with family there could be a need for it. Aspirin is good also. Been on more than one car wreck that was the result of cardiac failure. Just FYI on the aspirin for cardiac issues should the need arise for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
cool.so the reason I was asking, is because I think that this could be valuable information for some folks to have. could we talk you into doing a little emergency info thread down in the realman knowledge section?NOTE:I do understand that there is some information that you cannot share because you are not a certified instructor and a majority of the folks here are not EMT Basic certified
And the larger, Mo-Deeper L-Box for the passenger drawer. This one will house a stove, fuel, maybe some fightin' tools or cookware. Thinking of gettin' Nate to put together a camper-cooker setup so I can go gourmet atop the continental divide
So in much less words. Was the task difficultly what? 1 being my 11 year old could do it 10 being Tony Stark/Ironman? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Should not get oily from the transfer case. May see a few drops, but more than that you’re doing something wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Should have the trans pan back on tomorrow. Spent the day selling SquareD parts. After the trans, I may do the electric steps prior to ripping out the transfer case and getting all oily again.

It will be oil proof before you get here. Epoxy the world!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
