Beautiful truck!!
 

Out of sheer ignorance, what are these extensive trauma bags for exactly? Are you a first responder or planning on a head on collision with the local track and field team?

The tan one is the trauma bag. The black one is general storage 

 

I am a military medic

 

i tend to also have a bit of a black cloud that follows me around and tend to be around when ish hits the fan and like to be somewhat prepared

Ah copy. I understand. I keep a few go bags too. Especially the KRIS VECTOR (.9mm) under my bench seat.
 

Thank you for your service. I’m retired Navy (medically).  You said “Military Medic” Army?
 

you really can’t be too careful these days.  Especially with mass shooting nearly every week!

i wish I could keep more of a truck gun packed away in that cab bag. But the towns and cities use too much salt in the winter here and the laws don’t really allow you to use it for anything other then hunting or plinking around at a range. 

[DenaliX14]

I’m In New England. It’s the same here. I try to take it inside every night when I get home. 
 

I end up going to my local range no-weekly and take a field day once a month to keep them clean. 
 

even through difficult gun laws him my state, as long as it’s not in my lap I can keep a number of my SBR’s in my cab.

Well ended up installing the A pillar light brackets( ditch light brackets) today along with a set of TRUX side shooter led pods with amber strobe function. Wired everything up to the switch pod but still waiting on the 6AWG ring terminals to get here to be able to finish up all of the wiring to the switch pod

 

 

Also started to work on a behind the grill light bar mount that works with the stupid shutters. Still in the early fabrication stages but will post pictures once I have everything ironed out.

Well ended up finishing the wiring for the SPOD switches. As well as finished fabricating the bracket to install a 20” led light bar. Behind the grill. Now waiting for a dark Saturday evening to aim all of these new lights. Wife wasn’t too impressed with the amber strobe side shooters but oh well 

[maillet282]

Well. It’s been a few months since I’ve added anything here. Just got back from a deployment and am sitting around for the last couple days waiting for stuff to show up in the mail.

 

ordered on 18 Nov:

- Rough Country hidden winch plate( one of their behind the stock bumper winch plates)

- Runva 11 000 lb winch with synthetic line

 

looking to possibly order a Magnum Headache rack.  Just not sure if I want the model with 1 light per side or with the 2 lights per side 

 

as well planning on upgrading my tonneau cover to a more rigid foldable between the rail model 

[maillet282]

Well added a few things to the truck the last couple weeks. added:

- Magnum headache rack

- Armour Flex tonneau cover 

-Uniden Bearcat CMX760 CB

- Amber strobe lights to the front

 

plans for the Xmas vacation is to add some strobe lights to the headache rack ( still working out a lighting plan for that)
