What was the flooring made of? Was it steel or wood or both?

Its' probably the Snowbear trailer that they and Home Depot used to carry. I used one for my TD build and am very happy with it. The extra 6" adds alot to the cost of the build unless you design differently. The trailer itself is great though. I didn't want to build a TD only to worry about a 1,175(?) lb limit.

I've seen those trailers at the local Costco, if I bought one, the first thing to be replaced would be the axle, take a close look at one. the rest of the trailer seems acceptable though.

I've had no problem with the axle in the 3 years I've had mine. And I've probably had more in it than I should have. That thing has paid for itself over and over.
