Nice set-up!!!!! I have been thinking of a few way of extending the tounge on my M-416. Can you post more pics of extension. Thanks
They are Carr Lane latches, sourced from Grainger: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/ww...RefinementSearch&originalValue=Latch&L1=Latch
The particular ones I used were the 2000-lb variety (http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/5E668)
heading out of town for a week, I'll post the more detailed pics that people asked for when I return.
Thanks for the positive reponses!

It's mostly simple 1x1 square tubing, except on the sides on the bottom part. There we used 1x3 on one side and 1x2 on the other to make up for the fact that a sheet of diamond plate is only 48" wide and the trailer is wider than that (51" if I recall), and we didn't want to have to deal with a seam in the diamond plate. It also gave us the space we needed to weld on some chain links to use for tie down points.
The lid is attached using bolts. There is a long peice of 1x2 tubing going along the side of the trailer, and through that (and into the tub) is where the hinges are bolted.
You can see the hinge design in this pic:
A larger version is available here: http://bmonday.com/images/45/o_DSCN0414.JPG
Here's a pic of the underside of the lid. Nothing special there:
There is a bead of silicone along the edge of the lid, mostly to keep the rattling down. With as many holes as are in this thing, I gave up on keeping the dust out (though the silicone does an adequate job on that as well). There is also silicone between the diamond plate and the lid structure it is bolted to, again to reduce rattling.

By any chance could you post some pics of the "A" frame from the underside? That trailer looks great!! I'll be heading to costco for some of those tie downs too..
Thanks,

lot's of great design tips to be gained from this build :bowdown:
I want to know more about that bumber. What is it, where'd ya get it, how's it mounted?
The boxes on the side make great use of space. I've been debating over a tonque box or spare tire holder for the front of mine, so this is a great visual.
