You know you own a Patrol when...

If it doesn't fit in the others but is 60 series related, post it up.

100%. I even have it all organized in boxes and totes but there is just so much of it in my shop it doesn't all fit on the big 8ft tall x 15ft long shelves I made and I made several shelves that big! I even have a friggin' 20ftx12ft tent (garage in a box) that is full of parts. :roll:

My wife's been talking about getting one of these converted railroad cargo containers for all my junk....:

I'd just rather spend 5 grand on parts, instead of on giant boxes to store parts... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Excellent pictures. The added bonus of the "Caution" tape is great.
