Default Re: Trailer Help

Im a big fan after decades of successful use of bearing buddies. I easily put 1000 miles a year on mine for over a decade. On my first Higlander jack knife trailer and the LoadRite replacement after 20 years of exclusively salt water use.

So for ~$2200 I'll have a new trailer that I can trust for the next several years.
