	That is a bolt together rig and you want welded stuff if you're going to want to use it on FS roads, road trips, etc. Those are OK for occasional towing, but I'm not a big fan of trailers with 8" wheels and bolt-together frames. I wouldn't trust that axle loaded with 4+ creekers and lots of gear rolling at 75 mph for hours on end. Neat that you can fold it up/take it apart, though. Go with 10" or 12" wheels. I went with 10" on that trailer; I have another with 12" tires/wheels. Check at Northern Tool for trailer deals. I got a 4x6 with a steel mesh decking and sides, welded, made in America for maybe $360. Buddy welded up some "racks" on top (gear goes on deck, boats above, about 24" off the deck. We put a truck tool box on the front, taking up first 2 feet of trailer. We call it the happy trailer. I just need a big old JK smiley face for each of the fenders now. :-) Geoff
