I'd replace the coupler with swivel one.
Replace current lighting with LED's.
When you tow it....use plenty of tongue weight. I've been pulling a trailer for years, the more weight there the better.
Gonna get a swivel ball. All lighting is led but I'm upgading to better LED's. Thanks for the tips.

You are going to have a strong little trailer when you are completed, but I leaned to the "light" side. This one I have was rather cheaply constructed. They had simply bolted the box right down on top of the trailer axle and over time...it had sagged a bit. I removed the box and installed some 1.5-inch aluminum angle frame rails down each side and then mounted the box to these aluminum frame rails. It really strengthened it up, yet kept the entire thing as light as a feather. It's on an 600-pound torsion bar Al-KO axle and when I was completed, the whole thing can't weigh much over 100-pounds. I wanted something rather light to pull and it will never be loaded that heavily anyway. If I ever planned to really pull some heavy loads, I would probably install a stronger frame under the box like you have there in yours.

Very happy with the way mine is built. I think it wieghts in at 140 pounds or so. Seem realy light so might be less that is what the spec wieght is. Alone wieght I'm adding is Spare tire and Cooler Rack with Cooler.
