However, she doesnt get to go all that often either...
Actually the flat bed option would be the BEST option. Shave a ton of weight, simplify some things, and I could leave the axels alone. The route I was thinking of going was gonna cost BIG MONEY is beefed axels, bigger tires and a ton of work stretching the wheel base. Jack and I talked about it, and it was a grim scenario for my check book.

Stretching the wheelbase??? I thought one of the issues WAS WB?
