My New Harbor freight Pull Behind Trailer!
Just put together this harbor freight trailer, cause the ol' lady brings too much *&%^# on road trips!!! Did some mods to it! Took first test ride, hardly knew it was back there. Trailer got great reviews on Harbor Freight web site. Here's some pics!

Thanks! Came with cargo box. Cost was $399 and they accepted the 20% off coupon so it was $320 plus tax. Put L.E.D. bulbs, painted wheels black with chrome lugs, took 1 leaf off suspension, re-packed bearing, and put weather stripping, bringing total cost back to @$400
Plus bought hitch on Ebay and swivel ball on Ebay too. Wiring was simple 4 pin flat connector, tap in under seat!!! NO NEED to buy any special harness or isolators!!!!

I built the same one about 4 years ago for under $200 but with no cargo box or bed. I bought my car top carrier (one of the taller older models) at a yard sale.
Did you do the "flip the tongue" trick that gives you more distance from the hitch to the axle?
Also, once you get the frame perfectly square and bolted down, it doesn't hurt to find a friend with a welder to spot weld the joints.
I've had mine at interstate speeds (80+) for hours at a time and it pulls like a champ. Congrats on a great trailer for a little money.

PS: if I had a big honkin ad painted on the back of mine, I wouldn't be too critical of what others looked like.
