The following is a load list for Bonneville I have been working on for some time. It is a dream sheet as if I had unlimited space and funds. My intent was to make a master list that could be whittled down by dropping things off the list. I used to work in emergency planning so it is organized by function or category so you can add things in each category according to what your car needs, and it gives a logical place to look for things as you massage and modify the list to suit your needs.
And no I don't have all this crap or the semi it would take to haul it!
