Thanks for organizing. I've marked my calendar and should be able to attend.

Just randomly happened upon this and will be in the area at this time, is there any sort of registration needed?

Sorry, I’ll be at the beach. Have fun!

 

[SHIfTHEAD]

I'm putting it on my calendar. Might not be in town but if so I'm there!

 

[JohnVee]

I got an email about a Harbor Freight parking lot sale going on this same weekend. There just happens to be a Harbor Freight in the same shopping center!

We can find a place to have lunch around there, too, if anyone is interested.

I’m in. I’ll either be in the Willys or Patrol because Luke & 40 are headed to scout camp for the next 5 weeks. Lunch afterwards out there would be cool.

No pics but this meet up morphed into a visit to see the new Landcruiser 250 at a nearby dealership, then lunch.

Good seeing everyone and seeing all the rides.
There were just about every series of cruiser there; 40, 43, 60, 80, 100, 200

 

[fj40alex]

I think the Toyota sales guys didn’t know what to do when our hoard rolled in and started climbing in the new cruiser. Kinda funny.

 

[S.CarolinaFZJ80]

The new LandCruiser had comfortable seats with excellent cloth material but that's about all that stood out.
It is a lot narrower than any other Landcruiser that I have ever been in.

The rest of the interior was pretty unremarkable.

Not sure what was up with that dash cam way down the windshield on the driver side. It's right in the field of view and I would think it would be pretty distracting while driving it.

I did like the paint color though!

 

[JohnVee]

I counted 13-14 vehicles before we left Rack Attack but I think 1 or 2 of them might have just been random citizens.

I learned a lot looking around inside Rack Attack. Seems there's a rack or an attachment for just about anything imaginable. There are also some cool products from brands I've never heard of and some stuff I just hadn't laid eyes on before. I suggest paying them a visit if you're looking for lights, roof top tents, bicycle racks, exterior travel boxes, interior boxes, etc. Looks like they also carry Warn. Nice guys working there, too - seemed to know their stuff from what I observed.

 

[S.CarolinaFZJ80]

Yeah that had some nice gear in Rack Attack. The portable air conditioner for your tent was my favorite.

How did I miss that?!?!?!?
