i don't know if Matt has a thread on his truck here. I know that he does over on Expeditionportal.com . He's also pulled the bed an turned it back to a trailer and built a kick ass flat bed for the truck.

I like the concept of this thing, but the execution is a bit rushed and blunt...
Looks like they basically took the axle and wheels/tires off an expo trailer, and bolted it in place where the bed of the truck used to be.
Somewhat waste of space in my opinion...

Sometimes it does not have to be complicated to be cool. I'd like to see some ideas for a poor man's version of that chaser.
Lator.....

thank you for the links! i agree, for $5000+ id much rather build it myself, but i dont think it looks like a trailer without axles simply bolted to the frame, i really like it!

in an article, I thought I read that it was a trailer without axles bolted to the frame...


None-the-less, I really like it!

I'd like to see alternative options to this idea.

I am thinking some military cargo box, or military trailer type thing.

Just thinking out loud here, but I think this is a great idea for non-DD trucks.

I think the Campa Usa Taco is much more well thought out. I highly doubt it is easy to get into a bed that is on top of 37's.

x2. I've wheeled with that campa taco and it downright rocks. When you want the best products that will last a lifetime, that campa setup is where it is at. I can make alot of cool stuff in the shop, but I can't come close to the quality of the campa products.

They are just silly expensive.
