Hello friends. I've been meaning to join for over a year, but it's good to finally be here now. Looking forward to meeting OB'ers this year locally, as well as out in the Western US as my wife, myself, and our five kids take a month, and drive our 1996 LX450 (FZJ80 Landcruiser) and M101A2 adventure trailer *(still under construction) from Tennessee to Arizona, up through Utah and Idaho to Montana, and back down through Wyoming, Colorado, and back home. We would love to know some of your favorite RTT camping spots, and places that you suggest for us to see.

Wow! 7 people in an '80! Good on you!
Love Utah, anywhere from Monticello to Moab, canyonlands, needles, the maze district, any of the national parks, you could spent one night in any area and not experience it all in 2 weeks. Have fun with that.
Nice 80 btw.

Five of us are between the ages of 5 and 13, so we don't fully resemble sardines packed into a tin can; some of our humans are still relatively small. Hahaha!

I do realize that's way too much ground to cover for one short trip, but I want to overload their little brains with possibilities, and give them a taste of as many desert landscapes mountains, and interesting people that I can during the time I have off of work during their Summer break.

Right on... I was just looking at the Grand Staircase on Google Earth with the kids yesterday. Most of my time in Utah has been spent as a climber in the Wasatch and Uintas, so I'm looking forward to seeing the desert.

Hey, what headlights are those and do you like them? Are they bright enough without too many spots?

I don't even remember the brand. I bought them in a pinch after hitting a whitetail deer at 70mph, and destroying the stock housings. These are not very well made, and both low and high beam bulbs were H1's, so I modified them to fit some H3's that like much more. I just haven't set aside cash in the rig budget for stock housing replacementsyet...working on getting her regeared and locked first.
