homemade "scopebuggy" pics?

I have a CGEM and TEC-140 and decided that something like a scopebuggy is what I need to really get a lot of use out of my rig. The more I can have things assembled, and ready to go, the better. My viewing opportunities are irregular and often brief. I usually view from my yard.
I really need something with larger tires than what I see with commercial units. I have a gravel driveway, and often have to move across the yard. Small wheels would not work well.
So, I may build my own. Anyone have pics of theirs they can post? I'd love to see ideas.
One thought ... just have a wood beam across two tripod legs (under the feet) with two tires attached. I can then tilt the mount/tripod back and wheel it around. The third tripod leg sits directly on the ground.
Thanks,
Rob
