Also removed the axles, redid the gaskets and put fresh gear lube in. Just need to straighten out the tailight area, mount the truck toolbox on front, and prime and paint everything. Oh, and maybe wire in the backup lights.

Got about 300 in parts it so far but Its capable of high speed cross country hauling heavy loads. Not too shabby if you ask me.
Nice job on the trailer... looks like that puppy is heavier than the mulch With a toolbox and a rack for lumber, etc. these trailers are awesome !!!
