But than you could save money on bridges tolls and paid roads by bypassing them.

You know, when you're just sitting there in your lawn chair in the warm sun, my mind has wondered in that direction a few time. In my day dreaming I'd cut the frame in front of the first rear axle to add enough length to the frame to fit another fuel tank in there.

This should also add enough to put a very small 5th whl trailer up there. The main idea behind that is to have just a little more room and enough room for a comfortable chair so you don't have to sit at the table all of the time.

Of course a new air ride seat for the cab and air conditioning - we don't want to rough it too much.

Just putting tires on that rig would break my bank.

Lets discuss the real issues with this rig..... Airbags, Stable Loads, or Super Springs? Tork Lift or HappiJac tie downs? Center of gravity is all messed up? 6V, 12V, or 24V electrical system? Toyo, Good Year, or BF Goodrich tires? Bed mat or Horse Stall mat? 😉

The real weight police might come after you with this. It is probably to heavy for most residential streets.

Better call the weight police on that one! I think that's a lot of load for those little tires! :B

FYI ... I drove a few of those when I was in the Army. No desire to now!
