    I've only seen folks drill holes in them and run Tslot bolts through the rack extrusion channel, then crank down a nut on the inside of the case. Or you could make a bracket with two holes in it to sandwich the TSlot extrusion with a few standard bolts. Or... ratchet straps.

    So my dad has been buggin me about building an expo trailer for a while now... Looks like He'll buy the RTT if I build one sooooo, can't say no to that!

    So my question is should I try to find something to start with? Not really sure what even to search for...
    Or should I just buy some 2x2 tubing and get welding...

    I know even an existing trailer will need a ton of modification.
    Special trailer tongue
    New suspension
    Shocks
    Axle that can handle 35s....
    So uh. Yeah advice? I know several of the lurkers here have them. :spy:

    Check out mine. 2.5" main tube and a combo of 1x3, 2x2, and 1x1 did it for me. Hell want mine?
