Looks good!
I like the format of the non-raffle. Can I bring some old parts to put in the non-raffle? I have some stock rear springs for a 40 the are in good condition. I might even clean them up and paint 'em.

Bring em if you want to... someone will take em home and love em!
Lash thats great. Maybe Amanda will get to wheel the 200.
Hopefully we will tow the GunRunner for the first time. Guess I need to find a trailer to borrow or rent.
Really looking forward to it!

You can rent a tow dolly too! Less $$ than a trailer. Just remember to pull your rear drive shaft.
Clutchee
I'm fun sized!
Lash one thing to remember....... U-Haul deems a Land Cruiser a non-towable vehicle.
Basically if you say your gonna tow a cruiser they will not rent you a trailer....... ask me how I know.
BUT......... it will work & they do tow a cruiser just fine.
A dolly will work & a flat trailer they make also works fine, if you opt for a flat trailer make sure they give you extenders for the front tires or the straps won't go over your 35's

Don't go U-Haul
GSMTR last year was the first time I had to seek out a way to transport my truck a long distance.
Here are my findings:
Clutchee is right about u-haul not letting you rent a trailer. If you go that route, you will have to lie and tell them about the RAV4 you will be hauling.
Another downside is they want like $50 bucks a day to rent a trailer.
Their tow dolly is a good bit less, but you'll probably want to use the RAV4 story on that too.
So, I ruled out u-haul.
Next, I hit up equipment rental places, but they don't let you haul automobiles on their trailers. HOWEVER, the guy that answered the phone (at one of the last places I called) was a fellow Toyota 4WD enthusist so he told me I was hauling construction equipment. It was $135 FOR THE WEEK! The guy that hooked up the trailer ask what the trailer was for, so I told him job-site generators.
If you go that route, I would reccommend arriving in a pickup truck when you pick up and drop off the trailer. I doubt they will let you take it off behind the 200 series. Also, if you have friends in construction ask them if you can borrow or rent a trailer for the weekend. They usually will since they aren't using it on the weekend. Just make sure you get a trailer with "surge" brakes. I doubt you want an electronic brake control on the 200.
If you use a flat equipment trailer you will need to make sure you have non-ratching load binders (2) and trucker's chain (2) to secure your rig. Bodean's favorite store Harbor Freight has both of these for a reasonable price.
Then hook 'er up and go.
In about 50 miles check your lugs on the trailer, they do get loose for some reason.

Good Info.
Thanks guys

All this is BS. I don't loan trailers anymore because of a problem I had, but you can use my 21' for that weekend.
Clutchee, it is the VEHICLE that is TOWING, not what is being towed that Uhaul has a problem with.
Simple formula. If the Cruiser is an 80 with a 5000 rating, it is not a tow rig for another 5000 car.
Lash's has a 10,000 # tow rating. It would pass the Uhaul smell test.
That said, you can use mine.
