    2012 Louisana Rally Trader's Post

    Let this be the thread where we can discuss who is bringing what and who is needing what. (I PM'd Tim so he doesn't start another one) I'll start, I need some type of plastic clamshell box with latches, probably about suitcase size. My boss wants to put some radio equipment in it.
