I found this place http://www.onlinemetals.com/ and ordered some 20mm 316L axle material ,just got my order today. Great shipping time...5 days from order date. The
rod I bought was pricey, but it will make beast axles. Thought I would share this site with my friends in wind.

Every piece of metal used to build my buggy I ordered from them. Top notch supplier! I've even ordered HDPE from there. Like you said, not dirt
cheap basement prices, but you get what you pay for. It's nice when there is no minimum order and you have it shipped to your door in a few days.
Totally recommend them as well.

I order from them as well. If you call them directly instead of ordering online, you can order in longer lengths (20') at a much better price than
what is listed on their site. They are a subsidy of thyssenkrupp/

If anybody needs 4130 Chromoly tubing, you should bookmark http://www.aircraftspruce.com . If you shop carefully, they have really low prices on high volume runs of different sizes of tubing.
Right now it looks like 5/8" 0.035" 4130 is going for $2.10 / foot. Discount of 10% for 100 ft. or more of same part number. If you are into that
kind of thing (lightweight strong, steel structures and frames...) these are really good prices..
