I'd like a box trailer for it. I was considering scratch-building a 53' trailer, but now I'm thinking that I'll buy the standard Tamiya kit for my first one. Being a bit shorter, it may be easier for me to learn to drive and back up with.

Moving on with my build, and following the kit instructions, suspension hangers were added to the frame, shocks were built, control arms were added, and front shocks were installed. I also purchased my first upgrade part: a pair of King Hauler baffles for the stacks. My thought right now is to pry them open a bit to work with the fat stacks, though I may change my mind and replace the Grand Hauler stacks with the thinner King Hauler ones.
