Any trailer builders in the group? Comments, suggestions welcomed.
I'm wondering what the best approach would be to create a trailer that uses the long bed of a Tacoma.
Find a wrecked Tacoma and hack the frame apart and keep the suspension, etc intact? Or have a frame custom built with the suspension and mount the bed to it?
Keep the axle or trash it and set up independent suspension?
Trash the plastic bed and go with metal?
I like Tacodocs camper setup, but I think it would be too top heavy for a trailer. Plus I like the idea of a hard top camper so that bikes, kayaks or whatever can be mounted on top, regardless if the camper is extended or not.
This is something I always wanted to do with the MR2 but never got around to it.
The truck is a picture of tacogrl's, just slightly modified, it was a good parallel side shot of the truck. Just a quick edit to get the general idea.
