Check CL for a small trailer or boat trailer
I used a rear axle from a Dodge K car and fabricated some spring hangers to mount it to my frame. I found mine with good rubber and hubcaps at a local junkyard for $80 which is much cheaper than using new trailer parts.

I have been looking at both of these options. I went to the junk yard and the lady wanted $150 for a 2wd axle and $250 for a 4wd axle. I tried explaining that it would be neither to get the rear floating beam axle from minivan or something similar. She didn't care, if it was 2wd it was $150. I need to go back and ask someone else to see if I get a different answer.
I have seen a couple of boat trailers, with free boat, on craigslist but I'm not sure it would be strong enough. They are typically a 4 lug, small tire package.
My best buy it looks like right now is a pickup box trailer. $250 seems to be going price for a beat up old dog.
The only other option that I really like is this miniature trailer but I don't know if the axle is able to be widened and if it would hold the weight. My splitter is heavy!
I like all the lights, the receiver, axle, tires, fenders, etc that I could use. Very nice custom trailer, but it's tiny!
