First step a trip to Harbor Frieght and a trailer kit pn/90154.

Unpack the two boxes and take inventory. One damaged part but a quick trip back to HF and a no qustions asked replacement. I love no hassle customer service!

This trailer has a folding option that lets the trailer fold in half for storage. With a box bolted to the trialer frame this option is not usable. My plan is to eliminate the folding option and parts used for that.

Assembly begins. This kit is a bolt together kit and requirres only a couple of wrenches to assemble. I have decided to bolt together the two center cross members where the frame halves would fold for storage of the trailer. This was simple and easy to do as all of the frame members have ample holes in them. I have planty of extra hardware for this step since I will not be using the stake holders or the folding option. I assembled the entire frame less axle and wheels with all bolts just hand tight. I then realized that the plywood for the trailer floor would provide an easy template to make sure the trailer frame bolted together squarley. Off to the hardware total cost at this point $264.99
