Thats good to know about the quality! It looks like they are galvanized? I found a jeep forum that has an 11 page thread with many different photos of the same trailer all towed by jeeps! Yours looks great! How does it tow?

Let's say the sides look to be sufficient quality to use on an ultralight trailer.

I wanted higher higher, dust-resistant sides for that other 'jeep trailer' in a prior post so I ripped a sheet of 1/4" plywood to something like 22" / 26". This made sides that rested on the deck, and a front panel that bolted to the front face of the chassis for rigidity. Four aluminum channels bolted outside the chassis held the front/back edges of the side panels. That little trailer is so light that I can lift the back and move it sideways carrying the usual lightweight folding chairs, sleeping bags, etc on a camping trip. (And this is sometimes necessary because these ultra-short-wheelbase trailers are hard to back up, and hard to see looking back from an SUV because they are so narrow).
