I'd dearly love to have the MLRS pods for display but we are making due with the pods for the 2.75" rockets. At least this way we have room to haul our "stuff" too. Perhaps some day I'll have the proper trailer as well, I know they are out there for a reasonable price. Problem is I need to...
It could be done and you would need a viscous coupling so minor tire wear differences wouldn't have the trailer either pushing or pulling the tractor. LOTSA $$$$$$
