    If someone is going to make a video like this, please learn from this man. He shows everything and exactly what to do. Thank you, sir, for a job well done. I just bought one of these and found it helpful.

    Great job on the tutorial, the most comprehensive one on TH-cam! I just picked up one of those trailer and mine has some differences when it comes to tow bar attachment. They also changed the order of some steps around and tell you to leave out a couple bolts during initial assembly. Thanks for calling out the stupid marker light detail! The instructions are poorly written and I did not catch that one of my side rails was swapped around.

    Thank you for the tutorial! I've purchased a used one recently and started hearing about aluminum corrosion from the stainless steel bolts. I read you can add rubber flushers to prevent direct contact. Is this something to be concerned about?

      I have heard that some metals will react with aluminum. I can not tell if the bolts in the kit will ever cause a reaction.

    Thank you for the video! Where do the eight bolts marked SC 8.8 in separate bag go?

      These are shown in the video. I can not remember the exact locations, but it is either the spring connections or the trailer hitch connector.

    Great video brother. Are the bolts stainless steel?

    Did you compare to harbor freight trailer before buying? I noticed they are the same price but different names.

    • @HistoricForrest
      @HistoricForrest  ปีที่แล้ว

      I compared many trailers. I chose this one because it was aluminum and weighted less. My care can only pull so much weight.

    What's the torque used for the screws and nuts? The manual says nothing about it!!

    • @HistoricForrest
      @HistoricForrest  ปีที่แล้ว

      I found this table on the internet. www.engineersedge.com/torque_table_sae.htm. But I could not hit the amount of torque recommended on the table. You are right the manual does not say how much to use.

    I want this trailer but i see it is rated only for 45mph. Is there a way to make it go faster?

      I changed the axle, wheels and tires. Now my trailer is rated at 75 MPH.

      187 pounds. I paid $899.99 before tax.
