[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4094083, member: 15054"] No pics today. Maybe tomorrow. I user hubs off a 2007 Pontiac on sale at rock auto for $19 each. [ATTACH type="full" width="449px"]401581[/ATTACH] Some 1/2" plate steel some structural 2 3/8" pipe and angle iron. I got some suspension parts given to me a couple years ago and made a coil spring suspension on it. Buddy had shocks he took off his daughters car. I used those. I had some trailer tires given to me from a friend and I had some old ford 5 on 4.5" rims i had to cut the center out of 1 of them. I did a 4.75" raised axle ..super ground clearance looks tall like a military trailer. Smooth as glass going down the road. Get this it is 49" total widty from outside of the tires so it fits through my sons single gate. He helped build it. I am getting a bit more lateral movement than I like even with triangulated bars so i think I will add a Panhard bar. I will make it as long as i can to try and eliminate all lateral movement. Not that I need to as it does not get shifty and plenty of tire clearance. Painted it army green with Rusto' camo paint. [/QUOTE]
