^^ what he said. I also don't like flip out doors because when you leave them open and are working around the trailer they clip you at the knees, where as swing doors open under the trailer.

I also like 60" boxes. I usually have 2. On the curbside I carry the long end of the straps, protectors, re-wind gadgets, a bottle jack, block of wood, ect. On the roadside box, I installed aluminum angle on each side about 10" from the top. I cut down hard wood to fit and carry usually 8 or 9 pieces. Some people build a rack on the box for dunnage. I used to just put the dunnage on the bottom, but then I had to take out all of my crap to get at it. I thought about putting a shelf in and putting my straps on top, but liked the idea of being able to take the wood out and not have a shelf to contend with. I like it a little more tighty. On the bottom, I have 3 automotive bins that I requisitioned from some supplier tossing them. And I carry ratchet ends, wench bars, the other half of my edge protectors, padding, and a Weber grill. No tarps for this guy.

I like stainless doors, but most boxes are aluminum with stainless doors. I'm not a fan of 4 way ( or diamond deck, depending on where you're from) as it's hard to keep shinny.

Not sure on 48's, but a nice sturdy lite 60 is around $550. I made the first few brackets. But for $75, I just buy them now and drink beer for those 2 hours instead.

What are automotive bins? Do you have any pictures? I currently have 1 milk crate that was given to me. I want more but I refuse to pay for them and I refuse to steal them.

They're just plastic bins auto suppliers use to ship parts in. They come in various sizes.

I just saw stacks of them and asked. They were switching to a different size or something.
