Is that built onto the harbor freight folding 4x8? I'm about to buy one just to use as a trailer behind my wrangler - what do you think of it?

We're actually building it freestanding but able to bolt to the ol HF when it's not in the back of the truck. The HF is cheap and decent, but when I have time I'm gonna weld all the joints because I poo poo you not there's like 40 lbs of crap Chinese bolts holding that thing together. Also def pack some good grease into those bearings asap.

Edit: gonna start a thread when I can, got that fucker skinned w sheet aluminum and the floor in already.

I put mine together and hauled it 500 miles so far. I agree on the welding, that's on the list for this thing! It tows really well so far, but is definitely better with some weight in it. I was towing in through Baja while empty and it was pretty bouncy. Adding all of my tools and the spare tire to the front of the trailer helped immensely with the bouncing.

Maybe some tabs welded on to the inside or outside of the frame so that the body can be bolted down? That way you wouldn't have to drill into the frame and risk extra rusting and such over time.
