Custom trailer
 

Im looking to build a custom trailer for my jeep,

i build telescopes, grind my own mirrors and all,
and ive got a 12.5 inch mirroe ive just finished,

im looking to build a trailer that looks like the old
artilary trailers the war jeep pulled, just for kicks,
with my telescope mounted on it, hell i might get another award for it,
at this years scope-show,
i was wondering if any of you might have any links, or pics
of war-jeeps hauling an artilary trailer,

thanks,
johnp

artillery pieces somewhere there....

Surely someone will post a link to that famous video showing early
Willys leaping into the air with all sorts of trailers attached. And
crazed GIs driving with no seat belts.

I STRONGLY suggest you use a soft riding axle like a Dexter Torflex,
or you will beat your telescope to death. You won't win any prize if
the tube crumples or the mirror breaks.

John,
the primary 12.5" and secondary 3.0" mirror gets transported in a
padded case,
if i build it.
alot of us transprt our scopes and tubes in the back of trucks,or
trailers,
some strapped to the roof of a car,
then assembled and colomated,

just thinking of a fun project,
