  • Last minute trailer

    Thinking about getting a trailer last minute. Harbor freight of course. Do any of you guys bother registering your disposable harbor freight trailers? Will the bearings and tires even last 1000+ miles?

    This will be year 2 on my Horrible freight trailer so far so good. I welded the frame together for strength and for grounding issues ( the paint on the frame insulated the ground path). Also repack the wheel bearings with real grease. I got plates for mine due to living in Illinois (cops are kinda picky). See you in St Louis.

      upper part and it has a slide out tray
      EDIT
      I also have a small 4" vise set up to mount in the top of
      the spare tire mount.. I dont like clamping stuff onto any
      thing around to work on... I also have a couple of rings
      welded to the right rear corner for a patio umbrella so I
      can get out of the sun... I need to get a pic of it now with
      it all done

        I used one two years ago, and did the same as the above poster. Welded it up, repacked the bearings, and was good to go all week.

          One thing I seen with the off shore HF trailers is the hubs.. they
          use a goofy ID for the dust cover.. I was trying to find some buddy
          bearings to use and couldnt find any that size... but for the price of
          them I couldnt buy the material to build one from scratch.. as said..
          clean the bearings and repack them with some quality bearing
          grease

            I just packed it all in the trunk. The only thing I need to add to this is a suitcase and a couple of lawn chairs.
