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'm an ex avionics technician. I hear you on the grommets. They will be installed with the wiring.

Mitch, I thought I heard about that happening somewhere. I was thinking that it was a good idea to lay a bead on all of it, maybe I'll run it to my friends house and borrow his welder (or, good excuse to go buy one).

Good point on the receipt Bobbylee, I almost forgot that I needed to keep it for the title work (I'm getting rusty in my old age (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) ).
