Default harbor freight trailer build

decided to get the cheap little utility trailer for its compact and folding purposes. before assembly i painted it white and the wheels silver to match my rig.. came out decent i thought. about 4 hrs to put together.. then the plywood decking. make sure you ground the lights well.. anyways. I've taken it down the road multiple times already unloaded at 70mph for 30 min hauls no prob at all.. haven't loaded it yet but seems to be a great value for $250 after my coupon.

i am also considering this option for my camping trailer. i cannot find an m-416 in my area so im thinking of going down this route. i will make mine a camping, shark fishing , kayacking trailer. and i would start by ripping off those fenders and getting a set of rubi or sahara takeoffs off of craigslist. but yours looks like a good start

well that certainly is nice! I needed a compact one so this was it.. I did give away my stock fenders, not a bad idea though!
