Hi everyone. Long time listener, first time caller. I actually found this forum because I'm looking to use my Plano boxes for the first time this weekend on a trip up to Oregon, and I found a great youtube video featuring a tricked out 80 series that someone on this forum owns. Nice looking rig, that. ( )

I have a 200 series land cruiser and slowly spending all of my spare money on it. I try to get up in the mountains as much as I can, but not often enough as I have two daughters who play fast pitch softball. That dominates way too many weekends than I care to admit. We hope to take off June and July this summer, so hopefully I'll be able to explore some new high sierra lakes instead of inhaling dirt at a ballfield outside scenic Manteca.

Anyways, we'll be going up to Oregon (softball) and taking the following week off to head to northen Oregon and explore the cost south towards home. Keep an eye out! Now to search for those Plano boxes and how to correctly secure 'em...

Here's a picture of my cruiser - in the overflow parking at the field - my natural habitat. The rake is a little extreme, but that's because my rear bumper is still sitting in the garage instead of installed. The additional weight should even it up a bit more. Once I have the rear tire carrier I'll be able to go up to probably 34s and carry a spare (or two).
