I found a few places to tuck stuff but a backpack may be a good option for the rest.

I built custom platform with drawers and box. Removed rear seats. Used 3 pieces of plywood.

Nice. I kept the single back seat in mine. I am waiting for the SSO Trailgater rear bumper to come in and get installed. Then I'll see if I can attach an aluminum box to it for some of the recovery gear. Or if I have enough room for stuff in the rig when I take gas and water cans out from inside and attach them to the bumper. Oh the trials of having gear...[emoji16][emoji12][emoji41]
Move your water to a front runner good well tank. Lower center of gravity, out of the way.

So I completed the first aid section in the rig with the addition of a bleeding control kit.
I first had to make a J-hook for the kit to sit on. Next I simply attached it to the Rago panel, added a piece of velcro and bungee allowing for quick release.

Your build looks great.. A lot of great design choices. Very jealous of the front bumper. I keep going to pull the trigger, but the website always says out of stock. The idea of waiting almost half a year scares me...

Thanks. It does take a while to get them since they are made to order, and they do X-amount per batch. My back bumper finally shipped and should be installed in February. Oh the longer you wait the longer it takes [emoji51]

Very true. I should just bit the bullet and pray for a quick turn around.
Please let us know how that rear bumper looks. I have been back and forth on it. I love the idea of a tail gate. It looks pretty customizable on the left side as far a what your storing out there.

I'll post pics when installed. I opted for the one without the tire swing arm since I've had no issues with the tire being under the rig.

@SFWSCX3 , I purchased the raw material ones. I figured I could finish them if I so desired. So far I've kept the panels raw.

So I'm officially surrounded by Southern Style Offroad (SSO). My new Trailgater bumper was installed today. Oh happy me. [emoji16]
I opted for the non swingarm version since the spare tire underneath has never been an issue for my Overlanding travels.
Now I need to buy some Rotopacks for gas and water to affix to the gate.

It weighs about 220 pounds. That's why I had the pros do it. All my friends are to weak. LOL [emoji12]
