You need to consider the type of wheeling you do/plan to do when designing a flatbed, a small compact f-bed while light doesn't hold much gear and is pretty useless on long weekend trips, where you need to bring a lot of gear, whereas a large f-bed like the one on my '91 is overkill for someone who mainly runs day trips or trailers their stuff to the campsite.

Allpro off-road also makes a DIY kit frame, but you have to welde it/have it welded for you, supply the deck and the lights.
