Harbor Freight Trailer (Bargain?)

Jesus Freak · 04-08-2012, 03:56 PM

Man I am tired off messing with this bargain cargo trailer....

As soon as I put it together one of the wheels had a terrible wabble, so I thought it looked like the flange on the hub was welded crooked. So I returned it for another and guess what

same wabble.... Well all that is left is to replace the axle

Oh and I'm having random trouble with the lights on one side. Then the hitch is awful to open. So much for a bargain, but it does look good

Anything is possible, in this crazy world we live in.

Would it be a bent rim?

Those HF trailer lights are junk. Replace them with some good LED lights and make sure your wiring connections are good.

Jesus Freak, is this the trailer you are talking about from Harbor Freight? I hope not. I was thinking about buying one.

I look at HF tools as single use tools, the only tool I have from them that HASN'T had a short lifespan is the lift. TBH, it is probably because I jack it up to the first notch and then relieve all pressure onto it so the actual piston gets very little use. That being said, I am sure glad we have one close by.
