Oh yeah.... I greased the HELL out of those hubs. took em apart, replaced and repacked bearings, and added grease via zerks when done. also carry replacement bearing and grease with me. I think I will move entire box back about 6-8in and add spare tire mount as well. Also did up the rear end with chrome some. I'll post some new pics next week when we get home

I bought my HF trailer 6yrs ago and had a soft sided cargo bag on it and had made a inside pvc frame to hold the bag shape. I used it a few times to carry my wheelchair with me. A few years ago I was given a white and grey Sears cargo box carrier. Bought some diamond plate aluminum deck to swap with the deck boards originally installed.
I installed the diamond plate and decided to paint the white box top and the trailer wheels gloss black. I also added the red pinstripe to match the pinstripe on my trike wheels. Still a good trailer for not a lot of money.
Picked up a tag a long today. Seams the have been discontinued. Had to call 3 different stores to find one in stock. It's on clearance, so I got it pretty cheap.
The trailer if finally legal .
pA is weird, had to have a custom built inspection done, and the results along with photo had to be submitted to the DMV. The whole process took about 3weeks, but I have a title, a VIN Plate, and a license plate.
