Trailer parts?
Excuse me if this post is in the wrong forum!
My wife was complaining about my open trailer killing the grass by the side of the house, so I keep it at a friend's house, which is usually vacant. But, the friend needs the money so she will be renting out her house. Which means I need to move the trailer back to my house. I now have nowhere to store it. To keep domestic peace, which is very important if you are married (or even thinking about it!), I need to build a trailer to fit in my garage, along with my car (this would also eliminate my FAVORITE racing activity - loading and un-loading the car before and after!).
I have been able to get most of the materials (angle iron, bar stock, etc.) on LI but can not seem to find all. Does anyone know of a place in the NY metro area that sells 3500lb trailer axles in a variety of widths and other necessities?
The only trailers available for my specific requirement are either A) custom (which equals more expensive than a 24' enclosed trailer) or B) utility trailers with 2000lb axles.
Any help is appreciated!

No, it doesn't sound dumb and, yes, I did. There are not alot near me in Lindenhurst. Mostly boat trailers with lighter axles than I need. I called a few from the phone book but either got an answering machine or 'no' as an answer.
Other than that, I have found a few places in upstate NY, NJ and DE. My quest will continue for a closer one.................

The other is in Coram or Middle Island. I think they're called "Heavy Haulers", but I'm not positive.
The first one is a much larger place, they may have what you're looking for.
