Re: pic: 6w/d Chain base
With your choice of using inner and outer frame rails to support your wheels, plus your use of standoffs (or what appear to be standoffs) between the frame members to protect the wheels in case of a side hit, you could use 4" x1" U-channel in place of the box tubing--that would save a lot of weight. Adding cross members (at least 1, probably 2), as suggested by RMS11, would be a good addition...and you could get away with using 1/16" wall on the cross members.
