Alright so I have wanted to do something with my rear door panel for some time.  A while ago I bought a diamond plate panel for the rear door so my rear door looks like this one (exactly like this one as a matter of fact, I even have the same scuff on the black bin.)

I am going to remove the black  bin and put a fold down tray instead.  I am not 100% on what I will be doing for the tray but this looks like one good option.I dont know yet if i want to get the 16" tray table or 32" table.  Any thoughts?  32" might take up too much room on the door.

Anyway, I also want to mount a first aid kit on the door if possible.  Last night my wife burned herself on her iron and we didnt have any burn cream in the house.  I told her " you know, I could get a really good one with everything in it and keep it in the car."  She said to do it.  Would a door mount first aid kit be practical?  Does anyone know of any?  What other first aid kits do you guys use or want that wouldnt mount to the door?

Let me know if you guys have any ideas for me.

Mine is mounted under the dash (below the glovebox) on the passenger side within easy reach. A requirement from pervious groups and other offroad adventures suggested that all emergency items be within easy reach and where someone that did not know the vehicle could find them easily.

The fire extinguisher is behind the driver seat, on the wall, in plain view. Mounted so it does not become a missle in an akward situation.

Above the first aid kit IS NOT a microphone.  That would be a mag lite with quick fists or something to that effect.

Thats some nice bamboo furniture that I am holding onto for my mother in law for the last year or so.... (saying to myself "I am not bitter, it is not wasting space")

Yeah I am done with mounting the rear diamond plate.  That picture is my vehicle in my garage taken about 20 minutes ago.  Here it is without all the child like artistry. 

I also have an extra panel already cut.  Only problem is that the first panel has too large of a cutout for the handle so I put some black vinyl trim around it like what is around the perimeter of the panel.

There are a few pics in my build thread. Scroll pas the first set as the shelf was only partially complete at that point. I still plan to mount the fire extinguisher on the top of the rear door by the glass with a billet racing mount, and mount the axe on the rear door shelf. I need a rear cargo net first though. While the mounts I have in mind are very robust, I want a little extra insurance that a fire extinguisher or axe aren't going to wind up in the back of my head.

My - partial - Build Thread

I could have a bigger fold down tray and move things upward on the door which is a good idea Rick.  While my second attempt at MS paint is far worse than the first it shows kind of what I am thinking. 

After going out and looking at the space available I think I would switch the location of the fire ext. and the maglite (dont mind the scale on these two items on my drawing.)

Have you come up with a rear cargo net solution yet?  I used to have one of the factory dog guards but hated it because it rattled.  I would love one of the mesh cloth nets that someone like raingler makes for behind the rear seat.  I too would feel better about that.

Im looking for a dog gaurd cheap. My pitbull jumped into the front seats while I was in the store and broke the cigarette lighter adaptor for my GPS. Stupid dog. How much do you want for the dog guard?

what else could you add to this list for your back country medical kit?
