Weight.. I dont know but its pretty strong. All started as just plain old 8 foot 2 X 4's. About 12 of them. I did spend some time squaring, planing and pre drilling all the lumber before I made the I beams. Time well spent. Everything glued and screwed. Pipe is one inch black iron water pipe. Plywood is double thickness 3/4". Better to make it strong the first time. Made templates out of cheap 1/4" masonite and routered all of the plates. Used the best 1 inch grade 8 bolts they had. Took about 2 days. Maybe a little over a hundred bucks and the casters were about 60. Could probably get them a lot cheaper somewhere else.

Nice man! Someone over on a jeep forum that I post on did the same thing. And I think a guy over on thirdgen.org made one for his car. Yours looks great! Haha...I think we should start a "make your own tools" sticky. Have cheap solutions to buying expensive tools.

If I ever break my car down that far to work on it, I would consider doing just what you did. Good work! Speaking of work...whatcha doin anyway?

A 2 X 4 is around 3 bucks. Dont need to have a welder. Of course steel would be stronger and more durable. I happen to live in a rural area and have to drive for an hour to find a metal scrap yard. I have welders. Gas Tig Mig. I have a CNC mill. I have 2 CO2 lasers. Anybody with minimal tools and some skill and patience could build this. Pretty much made it with a table saw, a drill (I used a drill press), a sander and a router. Lumber, plywood, deck screws and glue.
