SAAS vehicle standard stowage
« on: October 03, 2011, 10:18:43 PM »
I am setting up some information about SAAS fleets, and am after someone who could assist with a basic stowage kit for a 'standard fleet' vehicle.

It is really for the major items, and the correct names used for these I am after, and any pictures would also be appreciated.
