The $600 trailer I got new

Got this trailer new. Hoping that it would serve me well taking my motorcycle and tool box 2400 miles west on my move to California. Found that after helping a friend move his couch that the inside seals were already bad. The spring holding on the seal was torn to pieces. The person who put the axle and hub assembly on didn't bother to seat the bearings or the seals correctly. Needless to say I wasn't happy. But, a $20 fix ( wheel bearings, races and seals) has me back in business. Will bolt it all back together tomorrow.

Getting a trailer was a cost effective move for me. Renting a U haul trailer would have ran me $500. A U-Haul truck almost $1200 not including fuel. The Aztek has a tow rating of 3500 after installing the tow hitch. Installed a trans cooler as well. This way, I get to keep the trailer and sell it later if I need to upgrade. I'm liking the trailer idea. Should of gone this route a long time ago. *Facepalm!*
