questions on lid

Hi Kurt - Awsome job on the trailer build. I was hoping that you could give a few detail on how you built your lid. Did you combine steel and aluminum? How/what did you coat the lid with? How are the hinges done? Would you do anything different?

Sorry for all the question, justwant to get started on the right foot.

Thanks,

Rick

I hired a fabricator to make the lid for me. The frame is steel and the lid is aluminum. I told him the weight that it needs to support, and he ran with it. It has 3 standard hinges welded to the tub and frame on one side, and a locking latch on the other. The struts are 200lbs each. I painted the lid with black rust-o-lium paint, rolled on. Its been over plenty of low speed rocks and mid speed wash board, and has held up fine.

Lid

Kurt - Thanks for the lid info. Need to make something for mine, just trying to do it on a budget. Good luck with the sale, I wish it was closer to Houston.
