DIY teardrop trailer base?

I don't want a Harbor Freight trailer, which also happens to be in the thread below mine here. I want a trailer with a little more grit and durability to it. Can you suggest something that is Offroad ready and roughly 4x10 or 5x10 in size please?
 
If your looking to purchase a trailer frame, you could ask one of the trailer shops if they can make you one. Another option is find a used one for sale. Hopefully its cheap enough and already has a good axle.
I know people build out the Harbor fright frames but gawd are they light duty.
If your capable, build one out of 2" square or 2x3 rectangle. Stay with leaf's if you want to keep it simple. I prefer long leaf's and like the rear CJ7 with 4" lift. Another down side to the Harbor freight is the axle and springs. Cheap axle and crap springs.
