tundra6x6 with Trailer!!

Kranky,

Isn't all that plywood heavy? I thought of a way to lighten the transport boxes the tankers use, and you could benefit from it too.

Use the ply for the outer edges only, and then put a sheet of that corrugated plastic sheeting (like they use for signs) over top. A 4x8' is dirt cheap, and MUCH lighter than ply.

Hmmm, makes me think of another way to make the 'frame' idea neat: make it a curtain-sider, and the curtain becomes a display canopy for the trailer-box.

Another option, if you are friendly with local stores, is check out their dispolay signs they use ever week/two/whatever. Often they are heavy card, which is great for test-builds, but sometimes its actually styrene sheet or such. Ask about it. I snagged a shipping tube for their signs a while back when I needed to send some frame-rails by mail. Beat the $20 the PO wanted!

And are you going to make fold-down 'feet' so the trailer will double as a transport box as well, so she's not sitting on the suspension all that time?
