There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
I did a search but didn't find....

Maybe you were putting too many words into the search box. Putting harbor freight trailer into the search box on the advanced search page brings up 129 hits for me. The challenge is going through them all to glean the info you want. There is no easy way to do that.

HB TRL
If I were to guess ..... I think about 300 +....... and a lot of them only buy the frame from HB and then buy a Sears X-Cargo - car top carrier ( also 18 cu ft ) at a garage sale for $20.00 and bolt it on the frame ..... I did .....just make sure you check the bearings and change the tailites to ALL LED's ........ Mike :thumbup:

I do not own and have not pulled the HF trailer.
i know other trailers cost more.
In the classifieds, a guy is selling a nice small trailer. Seems to be well equipped and far more sporty than the HF trailer.
if nothing else, assuming you do not buy that trailer he is selling, use it for ideas.
My Harbor Frieght trailer
Mike, I made my trailer just as you described, but did not change the tail lights. Since you mention it a while back I got a recall notice for the tail lights, and they are sending me a replacement set.
It has been over three years since I have pulled it, but there was no trouble with it. The longest trip I took was over 1600 miles round trip. One lesson I learned was to not use a rattle can to paint the Sears X-Cargo carrier

DIT TRAILER - HARBOR FREIGHT
The reason I mentioned swapping to LED's are they Guarantee NOT upsetting the NANNY ..................and I agree with the PAINT issue .... that type of plastic Sears uses is NOT PAINT FRIENDLY ...... I painted mine with a Plastic friendly primer and that adhered well ..... then the finish color adhered well also ...............

I never had any issues with the tail light upsetting the nanny, and I really can't complain about the paint job too much. After all it is five years old, but I did learn from putting it together to do like you said. A plastic friendly primer.

this is my set up. the extension on the back is an EZ up 10x10, which balances the set up nicely. I use LED lights which allows me to have separate stop turn and brake lights on my 2011 RTS. it is advisable to buy a bearing replacement kit the factory bearings do fail. it tows beautiful. put a mud flap on your spyder. I swapped out the red cooler for an igloo electric got tired of hauling ice and the mess of broken ice bags. if you look at my pass posts there is a wiring harness that worked for me.

David,.... Kudo's for you...:yes::yes::yes:...... nice idea on the frame for the body :thumbup::thumbup:....... What do you use for the surface material ????? ..... When I thought about doing something similar I was considering a product called CORFAM (?) ..It's a like corrugated cardboard ...but made from very thin plastic ...waterproof and very strong .... you can get large sheets and depending on which way the tubes are oriented, some fairly tight curves can be accomplished ...... DIY'ers ROCK .....:yes::yes::yes: Mike :thumbup:
