Hey JR, I have a custom made wagon that is made to a dragster theme. I will take some pictures tonight and post them and you can let me know if you are intrested. The wagon was made by a fellow in Regina Saskatchewan for an unbelievable price, for the work that was put into this thing. He only makes 1 of each wagon, so you will never see another the same. All you have to do is provide a theme or model you would like to represent with your wagon and he will go from there.
I will check to see if he is still doing this.

I got one of those from an ACE Hardware on Tustin Ave in Orange or Tustin.....It has the oversized wheels and tires, bimini, etc.....this was 5 or 6 years ago and it was around $399 for the base + accessories....

The pictures that Party Cat posted are what we have. The brand is 'Cartwheels'. We originally purchased it through the website Wagon Depot, but then found out that Cartwheels is actually located in Oxnard, which is only 30 min. from where we live so I ended up going out there and picking up the wagon. Later I purchased accessories directly through them. If you are interested I would go directly through Cartwheels so you don't have to pay any upcharges, I don't know what they charge for shipping. I can post a picture of ours if you are interested in seeing what it looks like, it's basically what Party Cat posted, just a different color. I can also give you the information for the manufacturer in Oxnard if you want, just let me know. It's pretty cool, we have 2 kids, 4 years old and the other is almost a year and it's great for them, plus it hauls alot of $hit, and holds a regular size ice chest....AND you can get drink holders too!!! :D

I remember seeing one with airbag suspension (remote operated scared the sh!t out of me). Big n' littles. And a "blower motor" which opened up into a cooler. Gotta love the pomona swap meet you never know what you're gonna see.:eek: :eek:

I just saw the sweetest Radio Flyer wagon last weekend in Havasu..it had full suspension and ATV wheels/tires on it. Wished I had the chance to chase the guy down, it was in the back of his truck and stood well over the bedrails.

I built a wagon myself, I been thinking about making them for other people too. Let me know if you're interested. I can make it anyway you want, just come up with your own theme.Mine is pretty basic, works good for my daughter, and it gets tons of looks.http://www.glamisdunes.com/photopost/data/500/968amanda_s_wagon_005-thumb.jpg http://www.glamisdunes.com/photopost/data/500/968amanda_s_wagon_001-med.jpg http://www.glamisdunes.com/photopost/data/500/968amanda_s_wagon_003-med.jpg http://www.glamisdunes.com/photopost/data/500/968amanda_s_wagon_006-med.jpg http://www.glamisdunes.com/photopost/data/500/968amanda_s_wagon_005-med.jpg

He built it from the ground up, it's powered by a 5hp Briggs, and it's a lot of fun to drive!!!

i've got a buddy is san diego that'll build anything. if anyone went to OTL this summer you saw him there with his cooler cart. if i can find a picture i will, but for nowa description. all custom built with 4link rear(with chorme harley shocks) and i-beam front end (with xr50 shocks), cooler held in by two bars and iron cross shaped corners. this thing is bad ass. fully steerable and bad ass looking. bring him the cooler and he'll cusotm build one (ANY SIZE)i'll talk to him tommorrow and make sure he is down, he's always looking for new projects to start up his own shop.
