Does this roof rack make my 80 look fat?

I've always figured if you bring a 8 lb bag, you're gonna try and fit 10 lbs into it ! The bigger your 'purse', the more sh#t you wanna carry in it.

Bring what you need....not what you think will fit in the back of the Cruiser....

If it's always more comfortable when there's only 4 going, then make it a point that ONE of the kids will get left behind. You get to choose which one based on how nice and how helpful each one has been for you in the last 30 days. This reinforces positive behaviors and will help you get more done with less of your own effort. Let them WORK for it!

Then, when you get there, one of THEM must carry YOUR stuff!!!!!

My ex-wife and I often joked with daughter that the reason she doesn't have a sibling is because the Engel took up space on the second row. But, now that our daughter is 11 years old, one of her friends will be accompanying us, I'm sure. Seems I can't get any other familes to go camping/wheeling as often as we do so we'll just to borrow a friend for the weekends. Thankfully, the 4Runner's second row is actually wide enough to accommodate two 11 year old girls and the fridge. I can probably get away with this for maybe another year or so then the fridge is gonna have to encroach in the dogs' cargo space.
