Hey, I'm new here and wanting to build a trailer ... on a cheep budget. When I say cheep I mean as inexpensive as possible without compromising the look or workability of the trailer.
I found this site out and the prices look good for the axle kit. Has anyone ordered from them or know anything about the quality of the axles?
ABC Trailer Parts
Is the correct set up I need for my trailer or should I look elsewhere?
With that said I'm thinking basically copying Box Rocket's design...with some deviations to suite my needs. I'll be using the HSS2x2x1/8 for the trailer bed. I will use the HSS1x1X1/8 for the uprights, and the HSS1x3x1/8 for the upper rim. Unless anyone has any other input that would work.
Box Rocket's trailer build
I'll start with this as the base. I might add the side boxes over the fenders. I'll upgrade it as I get funding and figure out exactly what I want.
Thanks for any advice,
Z
