What's up guys this is my one off build. I'm building a stretch trike all hand made by me. The rear will be air ride by either an air cylinder or old air bag. I'm shooting for around 8ft long on hopefully 24s. I started this cause I didn't wanna buy one an cut it up so I got some scrap sheetmetal got the basic design I wanted then started welding. Inside the frame is all gusseted so its strong. Here some pics I'm doing this with a minimal budget hopefully less the 100 depending on what I have to buy.
This is when I first started metal tacked just balancing on the bottom 2x2

Haha ya the 4runner is on my projects list haha. But I'm hoping to have the trike pretty low aswell the way I have the crank mounted the frame can be almost on the ground an still pedal
 
Decided I want the whole thing to lay frame so I'm gonnn build one off forks with a bag. Getting the bags from a buddy an another buddy is gonna get my bottle filled for cheap here's a drawing on how I want it to look decided I'm gonna run 20s maybe 22s
