BrownBear I appreciate the advice.
I am trying to keep the overall weight down on the trailer without compromising strength. here is what I am thinking.
Box will be 4'x6.5' by 30" deep, built with 1.5 x 1.5 1/8" angle iron. I am still trying to decide between aluminum diamond plate and steel sheet for the sides. I am thinkin I will use 3/4" treated plywood for the floor Herculined on both sides.
Lid - don't know what I am going to do with this yet.
3500 # axle with 6 on 5.5 hubs from abctrailerparts.com
Suspension: reusing original springs that came on the trailer. just replacing all the old rubber bushings with new poly bushings. relocating the axle towards the rear 8" to get a better 60/40 split.
Wheels - 15" steel rims off a 90's tacoma. not for sure what I will use for tires yet.
