P.S.

Not sure you're greased good?

Run the trailer about 50 miles an touch caps. If ya can't touch it heat wise, they prolly bad already.

 

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

 

Read your post and looked at the pic's of your trailer great ! So I've been looking to find more info on the stuff you talked about ,leaf springs ,covering mounting bolts,etc, what other threads are there about this and other issues on the HF trailers ? Can you send me a link . Thanks

I know this is old, but subscribing in, as I going to make one this winter.

 

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.

 

Very nice!

 

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.

 

looks sweet...did you do all the mods suggested in the harbor freight reviews section? that's where I picked up most of mine from

 

and if ya want to bling the wheels some, paint them black, and find some 8" hubcaps for a golf cart on eBay
