Essential Information about 4WD Drawers

If you intend to purchase a four-wheel-drive vehicle, you should purchase some drawers. In addition to the obvious benefits of organisation, it also provides peace of mind. They are helpful for storing valuables, equipment, and other items. It is not surprising that the Australian market for these products is booming.

You can also purchase a three-drawer system for the trunk of your waggon. It provides storage space for your boots and other large items. In addition, the best 4WD drawers include an anti-rattling guard and handle slam latches.

The best 4WD drawers for the money are made of high-strength materials that can hold heavy objects. Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) refers to the maximum weight that your vehicle can carry. You should not exceed it. This may result in a fatal collision for you and your passengers.

On the market, high-quality storage systems are available for the majority of vehicles. They are simple to instal and come with up to 20-year warranties. Even some businesses offer custom construction.

In addition to the standard drawers, you have the option of installing a small table into the drawer system. Common options consist of a leg that extends to the floor and a slide beneath the drawer.

Nora's Emergency

Jaune: Hey, Nora! I'm here!

Nora: Jaune! Thank the Brothers you're here! I need your help!

Jaune: It's pretty late. Everything okay?

Jaune: ...Is that blood on your shirt?

Nora: Jaune, focus! We have bigger issues! I've lost my keys and Ren isn't here to help me look for them.

Jaune: Wait, wait, wait. You called me all the way out here, in the middle of nowhere, at one in the morning... to help you find your keys?

Nora: Yes~!

Jaune: ...I feel like this is a gross abuse of our friendship.

Nora: But you're a real one for coming out here! Slap me some skin~!

Jaune: ...I'd rather not.

Nora: Come on~!

Jaune: ...So where's Ren?

Nora: I dunno. Something about a job interview.

Ren: (Towering over small, blocky ninjas) Hm... I'm starting to understand what 4x4 really meant in requirements.

Lloyd: Hm... You don't look like a snake person...

Ren: Excuse me? I can't hear you from down there.

---------------------------------------------------

Jaune: Nothing here, either, Nora. Hey, why do you need to lock your door, anyways? You're literally in a house in the middle of nowhere.

Nora: Safety first, Jaune!

Jaune: Safety- You're isolated from any civilization! How is that safe?!

Airpods

Songs that are playing in the airpods that I recommend listening to while you read :) Counting Sheep by Lxst 4x4 by Dominic Fike White Ferrari by Frank Ocean The songs are probably longer than the time it'll take you to read it but oh well they're good songs lol Enjoyyy

. . .

Wrapped tightly in your blanket, you walk into Matt's room and stand at his doorway, waiting for him to notice you.

"Hey," he says softly, looking up from his bed.

"Did I wake you up?" you whisper.

He shakes his head. "Come in."

You walk into the room and close the door, then crawl onto Matt's bed and give him your blanket. "Cover up," you say. "It's cold."

He sets down the notebook he was writing in and smiles gently. "C'mere," he whispers, and as you curl up in his lap, he wraps you up in your blanket. He grabs his own blanket and sets it down on both of you. "There. Cozy?"

You nod and lean your head on his chest. "Mhm," you hum. 

Matt kisses your cheek gently, then says, "Wanna listen to music with me?"

You nod, and he hands you one of his airpods. You put it in your ear and close your eyes as the music plays. "What are you writing?" you whisper.

"Just journaling," he replies. 

"Can I, too?" you ask.

"Of course, honey," he says. "It's still in here, right?"

You nod.

He reaches into his drawer as gently as he can, careful not to move you, then hands you your  notebook and pen. "There you go, babes."

You smile and open the notebook on the page you left off. You flip to a new page and doodle for a bit, then write a bit about Matt and how much you love him, even though you know it's kinda corny.

After a while of both of you writing, Matt tries to stifle a yawn.

"Tired?" you ask.

He shakes his head and wraps his arms around you tightly. "No.."

You giggle and kiss his nose. "Yes, you are. Go to sleep, love. I won't mind."

"Not until you're asleep," he whispers, kissing your hair, then your forehead, then both cheeks and finally, your lips. "I don't want you alone."

You grin to yourself, secretly happy that he wants to stay up with you. A slow Dominic Fike song plays in the airpods, and you grab Matt's hand, interlocking your fingers. "I love Dominic Fike," you whisper.

He smiles. "I know. That's why I played it."

You nod and rest your head on his chest as it rises and falls to match Matt's breathing. You grab your pen and start tracing the tattoos on his forearm gently, occasionally planting a small kiss on his collarbone. "I love you, Matt," you whisper.

He pets your hair gently. "I love you, too," he replies, twisting a strand of your hair around his finger. 

Soon you both fall asleep, the sound of the music playing in the airpods as you both lay there, curled up as one in the comfort of each other's warmth.

Drawer system for my 2024 Mu-X 3.0 4x4 LSE

Forum: Isuzu Posted By: Iggi Post Time: 2024/10/05 at 11:04 AM http://dlvr.it/TF1Pqg

[marmotsomsierost]

I blame (affectionately) the binge-reread i recently did of seanan mcguire's october daye series for the solid 90 minutes of having Sonnet 130 rebounding around in my head at work.

To set the scene:

Pt arrives, gets put in room A. Wound starts bleeding again, doc pitches fit about pt being in wrong room for lac care, we play patient shell game, get pt into room B with poseable lighting. I get pt on monitor, start to head back up to triage. Doc exits pt room, demands nurse assigned to that room, charge nurse points at me and goes 'we have a tech, take M.' Doc tells me to go hold pressure and maybe irrigate. The next 90 min went like this:

1) i went through about a billion sterile 4x4s while i held pressure on the really leaky scalp lac,

2) avoided becoming even more Toby-like by leaning over to grab the second hemostat the doctor requested before the doctor moved his finger slightly, at which point we discovered it was an extra leaky scalp lac because it was an arterial scalp lac...by a tiny blorp-stream of blood firing past exactly where my face had been literal milliseconds prior

2a) absolute silence for a beat. We look at floor. Doc looks at me. I look at myself. We look at pt. Doc: "well. That was lucky." Patient: "oh it's not that bad then?" Doc: "... you should be at a trauma center, and this isn't one." Patient: "um. But you said you just were gonna put in staples?" Doc: "i can't close an artery with staples." Patient: "...o...kay... Can i move? My shoulder is killing me." Doc and me immediately: "NO DON'T MOVE"

3) alternated between holding more pressure (while the doc stuck his head out and said he was going to be in there awhile and also maybe start transfer process and also (unprintable commentary on the medic team)) and blotting while he fished around trying to find the ittybitty artery and suture it shut with the normal suture kit

3a) this does not go well

3b) 'i'll hold this. What is the biggest vicryl in that drawer? 3? Bring it to the tray. Hold that again. No, wait, get rid of all this and get a new chux so i can see what the hell I'm doing'

4) watched the doc use the single largest fucking suture needle i have ever seen in my life to try and find and close said ittybitty artery

4a) seriously that thing was a fucking upholstery needle.

4) thought to myself 'damn it looks like the doc is using fuckin' wire'

4a) 'if hair be wires, black wires grow on her head'

4b) ...

4c) oh no, blood and shakespeare, i've definitely been reading too much Toby

Rugged 4x4 Ambulance Has Found A Model New Calling

We had zero hassle organizing ourselves into our new tiny living house for our maiden voyage. There are also several massive exterior cabinets, good for storing trash, gray 4x4 ambulance conversion water, and the bathroom bucket in our “quick and soiled v1” conversion. A couple cupboards are even accessible from both inside and outside, which is just kinda enjoyable.

Inside the bed platform she fitted a slide-out desk, which sits in front of the bench. Amanda didn’t set up a bathroom, but she retains a composting head in a closet. On the roof, there are photo voltaic panels and a picket deck on which the van lifer does yoga. Still from a video by Tiny Home ToursPaula is an empty-nester who travels solo in her converted ambulance named Vida. This construct consists of lots of features to prioritize security, including entry to the cab from the living area and an inside shower option. Photo by @adventure_amboBen constructed out a 1995 F-350 ambulance for about $13,000.

But there are going to be hassles with any camper conversion project; when you choose your vehicle you’re just selecting which hassles you favor. Tiny House Talk is the ultimate 4x4 ambulance conversion useful resource for tiny home fanatics. Get all of your questions answered and start your tiny house journey at present.

I also sent the ambulance to Upland Ford to have the AC and Heater Core hoses disconnected from the back. They had been related to the front 4x4 ambulance conversion cab’s AC system and I wished it completely separated. I am the Training Coordinator for an ambulance firm in Los Angeles/Orange County.

As Chris explains, the entire system was rewired in the course of the second build to centralize everything in a single easy-to-control spot. We might not have done the ambulance conversion ourselves however we have accomplished many ending touches. Here is a small choice of the jobs that we now have undertaken. The Plus Model 4x4 conversion may be simply tailored to Tamiyas Opel chassis, although the higher cabin facet walls should be scratchbuilt as Plus Models elements only fit to Italeris cabin.

For entertainment, most RVers use smaller, cellular devices that could be saved in a drawer or one of many many different storage compartments. The ambulance’s siren’s audio system will still be connected. You might want to upgrade the speakers if you need to take pleasure in music while having fun with time outdoors the RV. For example, kind 1 ambulances usually don’t have a walk by way of. A stroll via describes the doorway between the cab and the rear of the automobile.

Fall In Love With Tiguan

In the whole Volkswagen lineup, only the Tiguan generated as much talk. The Tiguan is probably the best car on the highways, especially in India, because of its design, appearance, and brand recognition from Volkswagen. Along with the mentioned aspects, the following are additional justifications for buying a Tiguan and getting to know Tiguan 1.4 TSI Review as you explore this article. Visit Volkswagen Showroom in Kolkata for taking a test drive before you fall in love and purchase the Volkswagen Tiguan.

The characteristics of the Tiguan can deliver powerful drives on even the most difficult terrain and are configured by the Tiguan Price. Most of us usually prefer to drive our upscale vehicles on the tarmac and never on unclean, muddy roads. However, if you believe that a high-end vehicle cannot deliver an impressive level of off-road performance, there's every chance of a misunderstanding.

The Tiguan's 4X4 potential will be apparent if you are planning a big mud-plugging drive. Owning a Tiguan is also highly recommended for its hassle-free services, which include a four-year, one-million-mile warranty and four years of roadside support as standard across its model lineup. Visit PPS Volkswagen Showrooms in Kolkata to fall in love with the Volkswagen Tiguan.

Tiguan Comfort

The comfort remains constant no matter where you sit, whether in the front or the back. The five chairs all come with the finest possible seating comfort guarantee. Both in the back and the front, there is plenty of leg and headroom. Additionally, there are N optional accessories in Tiguan available across Volkswagen Dealers in Kolkata that make life in the automobile more comfortable than ever.

This is the advantage the car has over other vehicles of a similar type. Most five-seat vehicles have less space in the back and consequently offer less comfort in the middle rear seat compared to the other two, but this is not the case with our Tiguan. For keeping your belongings, there are various convenient cubbyholes up front, including a coolbox. On SE-trim models and higher, there are also under-seat drawers for passengers in the front seats.

Storage

The Tiguan 1.4 TSI Comfortline boot is one of the largest and most adaptable of its class, offering more space than many others. On versions above the entry model, there is a sliding rear bench, a customizable boot floor, and net partitions, all of which significantly increase the boot area.

Safety

One may realize that the safety and security are much higher than usual ones because this is a high-end vehicle. The highest security and safety are provided by the emergency braking system, ABS, six airbags, hill assist, and Active Hood while these features stand to be a great preference when it comes to Tiguan 2.0 TDI Review.

What is the wait for a new Tiguan?

Volkswagen Tiguan waiting times range from 5 to 6 months for the 1.5L Tiguan and up to 6 months for some models. These were the approximate statistics for 2022. However, you can purchase a Volkswagen Tiguan with shorter waiting times at PPS Volkswagen Cars Showrooms in Kolkata.

Will there be a 2023 VW Tiguan?

For the 2023 model year, a new VW Tiguan will indeed be available. The trim model selections are anticipated to have a similar layout to the existing 2022 model. If you're looking for a new five-seat SUV, you undoubtedly want to know when the 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan will go on sale. The official 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan release date is not yet known, though.

Behind wheel

Driving a Tiguan is generally a good idea because the dashboard is laid out in the trademark intuitive VW fashion, indicating that a button-heavy steering wheel is not necessary. The pedaling mechanism is placed well.

Refinement

The Tiguan is a product of Volkswagen's vast technological advancement, which is evident. You can feel the sophistication and wealth of technology whether you are in the Highline or the Comfortline. Additionally, it has high ground clearance, giving it the impression of a full-sized SUV rather than a little one.

What is the on-road price of the base model of the Volkswagen Tiguan?

The Volkswagen Tiguan is the company's top-performing premium car to date. Every anticipation a person would have of the Volkswagen group is met. Visit our PPS Volkswagen Dealers Showrooms in Kolkata to learn more about the Tiguan Price in India and what it can accomplish for you. Various reasons occasionally cause the on-road price to change.

Conclusion

Overall the ruggedness of the Volkswagen body, features like the panoramic sunroof, rain-sensing wipers, and a Volkswagen-specific all contribute to the polished Volkswagen drive. In addition to everything mentioned above, Volkswagen Tiguan benefits from having Volkswagen service centres strategically located throughout the country. PPS Volkswagen Dealer in Kolkata provide the best offers and service with Volkswagen Tiguan when you feel affordable in going for fully premium cars.

Advanced Techniques To Build Your Own 4x4 Drawers Systems

Having a well-organised vehicle is a game-changer when it comes to off-roading and overlanding. Imagine hitting the trails with all your gear neatly stored and easily accessible; no more rummaging around for that elusive tool or spare part. Sounds good. If you're a DIY enthusiast, you're in for a treat! Let's dive into some advanced techniques to build your own 4x4 drawer systems that will boost your storage capacity and add a touch of personal flair to your rig.

1. Planning and Design: The Blueprint for Success

Before you grab your tools and materials, it's crucial to have a solid plan. Sketch out your design, taking measurements of your vehicle's cargo area. Consider what you need to store and how you'll access it. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

Measurements: Ensure your drawer system fits snugly in your vehicle's cargo area.

Materials: Choose durable materials like plywood, marine-grade carpet, and heavy-duty drawer slides.

Layout: Plan the layout of the drawers, considering the weight distribution and ease of access.

By planning meticulously, you'll avoid common pitfalls and ensure your project of building your 4x4 drawer systems goes smoothly.

2. Cutting and Assembly: Precision is Key

With your design in hand, it's time to cut your materials. Accuracy is essential here; even a slight miscalculation can destroy your entire build. Use a table saw or circular saw to make precise cuts. Remember to:

Label your pieces: Mark each piece according to your plans to avoid confusion during assembly.

Pre-drill holes: This helps prevent the wood from splitting and ensures a stronger joint.

Use clamps: Keep your pieces in place while you secure them with screws or bolts.

Once all the pieces are cut, start assembling the frame. A sturdy frame is the backbone of your build your own 4x4 drawers systems, so take your time to get it right.

3. Installing Drawer Slides: Smooth Operators

Drawer slides are the unsung heroes of any drawer system. They allow your drawers to glide effortlessly, even under heavy loads. For this step:

Choose the right slides: Heavy-duty, full-extension slides are ideal for 4x4 drawer systems.

Mount accurately: Ensure the slides are level and aligned to prevent binding.

Test fit: Before final installation, test the slides with the drawers to ensure smooth operation.

Properly installed drawer slides make a significant difference in the functionality of your build your own 4x4 drawer systems.

4. Adding Drawers: The Heart of Your System

It's time to add the drawers with the frame and slides in place. This is where your design truly comes to life. Consider these tips:

Fit and finish: Ensure the drawers fit perfectly within the frame without too much wiggle room.

Reinforce corners: Use corner braces or additional screws to enhance the durability of your drawers.

Customise compartments: Add dividers or foam inserts to create compartments for specific items.

Customised drawers tailored to your needs to set your build your own 4x4 drawer systems apart from off-the-shelf solutions.

5. Final Touches: Making It Your Own

The beauty of a DIY project is the ability to add personal touches. Here are some ideas to consider:

Carpeting: Line the drawers and the top of the system with marine-grade carpet for a professional finish.

Handles and locks: Choose robust handles and locks to secure your drawers.

Labelling: Label each drawer to identify its contents quickly.

These final touches enhance the look of your build your own 4x4 drawer systems but improve functionality and convenience.

Conclusion: Ready to Hit the Trails

Building your 4x4 drawer system is a rewarding project that combines creativity with practicality. By following these advanced techniques, you'll create a storage solution tailored to your needs and built to withstand the rigours of off-road adventures. So, roll up your sleeves, gather your materials, and get ready to transform your vehicle into an organised, efficient off-road machine. Happy building!

The need for 4WD drawers

The need for 4WD drawers has increased recently. Gear and equipment are stored in these drawers to keep them organised while travelling in the car. They are made to accommodate a range of different cars.

For storing small goods like tools, toiletries, and photography equipment, these 4WD drawers are excellent. Additionally, they provide room for bulky goods like clothing, food, and camping gear. These drawers are available in a range of designs and pricing points.

A two-drawer system is the most common form of drawer system for 4WDs. The device may be configured to shut when not in use and has plenty of space on top. It also gives you access to the boot area at the back of the waggon. Another choice is a three-drawer cabinet that has storage on one side and a place for small tools on the other.

For your convenience, most drawer systems come with moveable dividers. Some have sections that can be customised. High-load bearing units are available if you have a lot of heavy items.

These drawers are made of various materials, depending on the brand. The frame is frequently made of steel, although another choice is plywood. In addition to being lightweight, plywood is a fantastic sound insulator.

Drawers are not only transportable, but they are also simple to set up. Drawers might be built by the user or purchased from a vendor. A drawer may be a quite cheap purchase. However, you should weigh the advantages and disadvantages of both choices.

Advice on cleaning with ADHD

So this is something that I’ve found that works for me. It might not help with everyone’s issues, but this little suite of solutions has helped me stay on top of chores so much better than I ever have before, especially monumental tasks with lots of steps like cleaning kitchens or bathrooms. Buy cleaning “crutches” What I mean by crutches is things that cut out steps from the cleaning process, since that’s often what bogs a lot of us down and gives the Executive Dysfunction something to latch onto. Usually, to start cleaning you have to go find the sponge, and the spray, and the paper towels, and the gloves and and and. It adds hurdles to what already has a pretty high effort hurdle to begin with. Lower the barrier to entry. Do yourself a favor and purchase the following two things at the very least: Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and Clorox wipes (or off brands if you prefer). Put these two items in every bathroom and in your kitchen along with a roll or two of paper towels so they’re right at hand when it’s time to do a task. The Magic Erasers just need water to start cleaning and the Clorox wipes don’t need anything. Just rip and scrub. No gloves needed either. You can clean just about anything with them. Others to consider are below: Tabs/gel packs for dishwasher and laundry furniture polish cloths (like the Clorox wipes but for wood) Windex wipes (same deal.) Swiffer (get the one that can both dust and mop and has the fluid already in it. My floors stay cleaner because I don’t have to hassle with a ton of stuff.) Break down your cleaning tasks into tiny chunks And I mean tiny chunks. Ridiculously small. It’s going to seem really silly, but break stuff down into things you can do in five minutes tops.  This will keep you from getting stuck in the middle of something monumental because you ran out of steam. So for instance, don’t do -all- the kitchen counters at once. Just do one section. Don’t do “clean the fridge.” Instead, make a task that’s clean out old food from the fridge, then have a separate task for wiping down the shelves, and another for wiping out the drawers. Other examples would be: -unload the dishwasher (but don’t load it) -wipe down the stove top -wipe off one 4x4 section of counter -clean the toilet -throw away spoiled stuff in the fridge This, plus your pre-prepped cleaning supplies help fight the spectre of Executive Dysfunction.

Make yourself a schedule that’s also a checklist Using your broken up list from the previous step, make yourself a loose schedule. I say “loose” because you don’t want to stack everything together. Space due dates out so there’s only one or two things due every couple days.  And since they only take five or ten minutes, and your cleaning supplies are pre-prepped, you’re more likely to get it done.

It’s worth it to figure out what big tasks need to happen weekly/monthly/yearly etc so you can space their component bits out accordingly. Like... for instance I clean the fridge out once a month, but that is spaced out in such a way that there’s only one fridge-related task every week or two. I like using Clickup for this... it also holds all my appointments and due dates on other stuff so my cleaning integrates well. I get a little dashboard each morning telling me what’s on deck for today, tomorrow, and the rest of the week. The best part is that occasionally I’ll get on a tear and I’ll work ahead. Sometimes, once I’ve tricked myself into starting by lowering the barrier to starting, the fridge gets totally cleaned out all in one go. And sometimes I’ll fall behind and that’s okay too. All the tasks are small enough and spaced out enough that catching up isn’t onerous. 

And... this is the most important thing for me really... I get the rapturous orgasmic joy of ticking off a checklist and watching things disappear. It’s so satisfying. I’ve heard people calling this “gameifying your life” and it works on me so well. Like I said... this might not be the ticket for everyone, but boy howdy has it made all the difference for me.
