I'm sitting at work and can't get my head around how big this thing needs to be, so i'll ask. (note: I work at a hardware store and wanna get the stuff before end of the day!)

I wanna put my Moke shell up on a stand with wheels, a trolly thing, or whatever ya call it! I know many of you have built one. Just wanna know the dimensions of yours so I can get some stuffs!

If you want to be tight, just use and old pallet, attach a castor to each corner, done :)

I see... I need it to be a bit higher... so 4 pallets? Hahahaha!

I don't need to be that tight, however.

Check Anton's GT site - he used to have details of his one on his old JAM site. If it isn't on the new site, PM him. He sold it I think, but would probably still have the dimensions at least.

Four old tyres fit nicely on a pallet. Go for a 245 size tyre and you get high enough.

hi mate, take a look at this. It might help you get some idea's. I built it myself, came in very handy.

You could also buy it off me if you wanted ( as you can see) , lol as its for sale, as I don't need it anymore, my resto is finished. :)

Hope this helps :) Lockie

My van shell is sitting on a trolley with height adjustable legs. The trolley is the size of the floorpan (935x1350 with 500mm long legs) It's made out off 2 inch box section and has a caster wheel on the bottom of each leg (2 have brakes).
