trade-off is a lot heavier wheel which will not hold up in saltwater. Nothing to rust with the plastic rims. True savings is also less after s/h and possible replacement cost.

btw, I got the wheels from Northern Tool and the SS tubing (plus end caps) from Industrial Metal Supply (LA,OC,SD).

That would be overkill, unless you had a fully loaded PA! Seriously, with just 1" pvc, it is rock solid.

I would have bought those if I could afford them! Those other tires are great on hard-pack surfaces, but are brutal in soft sand. I was thinking of making duallies for the soft stuff.


Thanks guys for all of the props. PM me if you have any questions.
