Default RE: How to transport your jets for about $300 (by vehicle/trailer)

One word of caution when using the Harbor Freight, Great Northern, etc. trailer kits with the 10" or 12" tires - they really can't be towed at more than 55 MPH (max) for any length of time as the wheel bearings are not up to the task. They also don't have any suspension (tires provide the only shock absorbing) so they provide a very rough ride for your toys. I used one for a while and it was great for short trips, but twice had the bearings fail on longer trips.

Keeping that in mind, they are a great solution to the small car/no space problem...and the price is right!
