    You should box it in and make a camper out of it... (Just no creepy pictures of your shitsu and a bottle of wine =)

    Man. I was just talking with my dad how cool it would be to make a small gooseneck for the mini. I haul my 60" ztr mower to mow some property a few miles away on the back of the mitzu. I would also like to build a custom light weight flat bed too.

    Wayyyyy cool, Ive been thinkin of doing almost the same thing. How bout some pics of how you mounted the hitch. I was going to build a small tandem gooseneck as a tool trailer for when I work on my friends Top Alcohol Dragster at the track ( I like workin with my own tools)Thought i might use old boat trailer axels or princess auto specials. Im building one of my trucks as a tow vehicle with 4 seatsin the back (back to back with feet hanging over the side with foot rests) for the TAD, with room to spare for batteries tools and starter.

    The hitch is just 2 peices of 4 inch angle iron with a chevy half ton tranny cross member welded between them then bolted to the frame with the bolts that hold the box on will post pics when I can
