I'd kill to get it back out West now and enjoy some of the more open country.
I'm hoping to get back to Moab in 2016. I want to do the White Rim Trail. So I want to have my trailer ready for that.

Good for temperature extremes and doesn't attract dirt like oils or greases do.

I've had good experience with the CRC as oil replacement, in severe sand storms and at freezing temp'.
WD-40 does not "actively cause rust". I spent 13 months at sea caring for a pair of Bell 212 Helicopters. We used a "water displacing, corrosion preventative compound" liberally to prevent corrosion. It worked quite well. You know what "water displacing, corrosion preventative compound" is? WD-40.

Depending on the axle quality you may want to upgrade your hubs and bearings. Most of those are only rated for like 40mph and smaller tires. The assemblies are not that much and you can get a jeep matching lug pattern.

If you haven't seen this thread, there is a lot of good information, but it is long now.
There is a lot of talk about strengthening the HF trailers, larger axles, and more

Thanks for the info Espi and NMBruce. I'll be reading through that to figure out my axle and hubs.
