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 "knew" it had to be a ground. But my meter said it had a ground. However, I was testing from the light to the bracket it was on and that was a good connection. I needed to test from the light to the white ground wire in the front. Then I'd have seen the problem. Oh well, it's all rewired with new split loom and new lights (wires, etc) and is a much nicer job than it was before. Everything is now soldered and heat shrunk (damn avionics techs.....
