    If you don't get gold rims with "spinnaz" you're only hurting yourself. It's urban camo. Lol
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    A lot of trailers I have seen around here have welded mounts for the axle. Gotta have the right skills and tools to make an axle move safely. Doable but more involved.

    How does your gate lock in place? I looked back but didn't see a pic of that. My step dad has a similar trailer, maybe a little longer. I borrowed it to haul some 12' and 14' lumber on and made some cables and cable clamps to hold the gate horizontal to the bed. Gave me an extra 3-4' to support the boards. Cost me maybe $10-12.

    It has some funky u-shaped rods that slide into lock it up. I'm not a fan, but again, I can't complain about free.

    The one we have has some spring loaded ell bolts which go into place. Not a good description. Okay on the drop down gate there is a welded bracket which holds a spring loaded ell shaped rod. This acts as a handle to pull the spring loaded portion back to engage it with the frame of the trailer to hold it closed. There is one on each side of the ramp. Hope that helps

    So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.
