Cooling box

So is there really a cool box tray coming? It wouldn’t solve all the issues with that tiny box being used for storage, but it would help.
I printed the one that someone on here made available for free. Printables

I would like to have the cooling box removed from my 2024 FE Landcruiser. I would rather have the space. Has anyone done this or know IF it can be done?
I dont mean to point out the obvious, but why would you want to get rid of it?
1. The cooling is only on if you click the on button located on the box.
2. Keep it turned off and use it like regular arm rest storage.
3. On long trips, turn it on and load drinks in there. They are ice cold. It also makes all the rest of the stuff in the arm rest cold, which is how I know my FOB will work in the winter time!

I love the thing.

I only want to remove the cooling unit to allow for more storage

I don't mean to point out the obvious, but it's because the thing is nearly half the size of the 'normal' version. There is virtually nowhere in the front to put anything from your former vehicle, except the glovebox.

I hate the thing, should have been an option.
 
I’m keeping mine. It is really nice to have cold beverages while driving somewhere distant to home.
 
That’s fascinating - so if you carry a gun in a vehicle in the US and it’s stolen are there no consequences for you ?

In the UK my shotgun certificate needs to be renewed every 5 years and it’s quite closely scrutinised by the police firearms team with a need for references including from my Dr and they interview me and anyone living in the same property - check the storage arrangements etc

if I left a shotgun in a vehicle and it was stolen all hell would break lose - I would potentially lose my right to own a shotgun and it could be far worse if they deemed the loss to be as a result of negligence on my part

The concept of a throw away lethal firearm is an interesting one

The only thing I learned from this post is that England sucks and is no longer a free country.

Have you considered leaving?

Here is my cool box being used as concealed carry pistol storage for those long drives when the pistol is digging into me or the seats. I don’t condone storing a gun in a vehicle unless you have a built in safe, and that is only to store it in if you have to go into a non permissive environment like a court house, school, etc.

Wilson Combat SFX9 with a Surefire X300U in a PHLSter Floodlight holster. Total length is going to be roughly similar to a full size service pistol with a 5” barrel. Fits just fine.

For all the Karen’s out there yes it is in fact carried cocked and locked with a round in the chamber.

As with any carry gun the appropriate administrative handling is to load the pistol, ensure a round chambers, ensure the safety (if equipped) is engaged on a single action or striker fired system, or the hammer is de-cocked on a double action via de-cocking lever and the safety (if equipped) is off. Ensure the magazine is properly seated. Then carefully insert the pistol into your quality holster, and then and only then put the entire holstered gun on your belt/inside your waistband etc. If I utilize a PHLSter Enigma holster for my sub compact and do all of the load and holster procedures, then put on the Enigma, and then get dressed. That system is freaky how well it hides a small semiautomatic pistol or revolver.

Jamming a loaded pistol into a concealment holster you are wearing is something to very carefully and deliberately train on the range, or better yet train in dry fire. It’s not something to habitually do at home for the sake of convenience.

Question - have you ever encountered a need for a personal protection firearm? Not in my lifetime at age 83, and have been in some high-crime cities such as Chicago, D.C., Atlanta, Oakland, etc. A mountain lion once startled us in the desert, but it was rapidly departing.
 
The world isn't the same as it was when young people had respect for others, when you could leave your doors unlocked when sleeping, when you left the keys in the ignition of your vehicle just in case someone had to move it, when "yes sir and no ma'am" was a common saying, when holding a door and letting older folks enter first was a norm.

I'm not saying those things still don't exist, but nothing near like they did when we were young.

In the United States? No. Hopefully never. When I was still living in Missouri there were areas it would probably be prudent to be armed if possible ( looking at you KC, Jeff City, and Shit Louis). I don’t visit much anymore. If I’m driving through Minneapolis these days you bet your ass I will be armed after all the George Floyd bullshit.

In Iraq? Well I was a Marine infantryman, so that ship sailed, so to speak, 20 years ago.

Going about daily life with an M16A4, frags, body armor, a shit load of spare mags, and a sidearm is kind of inconvenient in the US though and frowned upon for some reason. Especially when you bring all your closest friends with similar load outs to include belt feds, grenade launchers, AT4 rockets, and breaching shotguns. Folks get a bit perturbed when you want to buy groceries at Safeway like that for some reason. LOL.
