If you mean trailers from pick-up beds, farmers been doing them for decades. Many buy a truck, remove the bed, put a platform deck on theback of the truck, then make a trailer from theleft over bed. Thousands and thousands of them throughout the central states (TX, OK, KS, etc.) and probably a few in evry state.

Im talking about same year bed and painting them same color as their trucks and throwing on tires/wheels that are obviously too nice for a trailer as a show thing. Pretty much like the pic above.

Wouldn't some thing like that, be excessively heavy. As compared to a normal trailer of that size? Sure looks like it. If I where to put that much work in to a trailer. I might as well buy another XJ. And have the wife follow me, with the rest of our gear. JMO!
