working on my trailer

[peterdarby]

I am about ready to start working on my trailer. I need to get a bearing packer and some grease before I start wrenching.

My intentions were to get a Harbor Freight Trailer (HF) and Sears cargo box and make a MC trailer. But I found the "Tag Along " Trailer at HF For about the same price as the HF cargo trailer and a Sears Box. The tag along is a black (no painting over the red) less width (no cutting and welding to fit the Sears box) with a side opening box(No repositioning the sears box hinges) that I should be able to make road reay in a couple of hours after I grease the hubs. About the only mods I have planned is to cut the tongue, bolt in an extension and then weld a cooler holder on. The Tag along holds 16 square ft while the sears box is 20 square ft. I figure that if I decide I need the extra four feet I can pick up a sears box on craigs list when one comes up and change out the boxes. I also ordered the hitch and wiring system which should be in by Friday or so. Now I just need to find the time to put it all together and, of course get the license for the trailer. When I am done it will not be the prettiest trailer but then it doesn't cost 1,500 to 3,500 either and it will still carry my camping gear which will leave room for the wife on the pillion. After I get everything assembled I will try to get some pictures.
