Title: First aid/storage bag
Post by: SteveW on September 18, 2013, 08:13:38 PM

I picked up this first aid bag from Sportsman's Guide to put in the jeep. It's a Swedish kit and comes with some nice stuff inside. I like it because it has a belt loop but can be detached. I wanted something on the jeep fairly small and out of the way but functional. It measures approx 12" high, 6" wide and 4" out if loaded all the way. It has some nice pouches and is waterproof with top overlapping body.It fits nice behind the seat and won't interfere with the half top that I envision jeep having on most of the time (one day)

This is final set up with strap to keep it close to seat and not swaying to and fro

Those buttons press on the belt and just pull off if you need it detached, similar to lift the dot fasteners

I used what I call Chicago fasteners to keep it smooth and not snag on cushion, belt at top and 1 for nylon strapping

Good setup.

I noticed the footman loop on the driver rear fender. Should it goes on the top instead of the side?

Well, it has one there also. I have a cook box and a pantry I built to sit on the wheel housings. The other loops are so top can be secured and boxes can be secured.

Cool. I'll need more picture of your complete setup.

Here is a little bit of the set up. I'll do a seperate one on whole project if there is interest

The additional loop will allow for top to be strapped and box be secured
