I bought one of the Harbor Freight trailers tonight for my tires. The trailer with the 12" tires is on sale for $159 right now so I picked one up. Overall, it's not bad. It went together well enough (other than the cotter keys that don't fit through the axles to hold the castle nuts on), but I soon started to find parts missing (one cotter key, a safety catch for the tongue, the cotter key for that, nuts to hold the tail lights on, etc) and a broken tail light housing. I hope to stop by harbor freight tomorrow and get replacement parts for the ones I have that are broken/missing.

After that, I need to fab a tire rack and a way to secure the tires and a tool box on the trailer. Then, off to the BMV to try and title and tag this thing. I've heard that can be a challenge, I'll let everyone know how it goes.

I guess I can't complain for $160, but I'd like to have all the parts. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rant.gif)

I ordered mine on the net and SAIA Freight dropped it off at the house with all the parts! Must be a miracle. I've had the HF trailer for a couple of years now. I use it behind my Jeep or beater to haul whatever is needed. Title and license plates were no problem - I lost the receipt so I took an HF catalog and showed the picture to the gal at the county courthouse. She filled out the paperwork and that was that! At least that's how it goes in Texas.
