    Thought it about time to post an update. Now 8 years old and the trailer has held up well. I hauled a load off firewood for a friend a couple years ago, and he opened the passenger side tailgate and failed to pin it to the side of the bed. Of course when it hit the ground it bent the top hinge as I lifted the bed. Easy fix with a torch for heat and a 4 lb hammer. I lost one hold pin on my ramp pocket last year. It secures the right but it stayed in until I got home and noticed it. Other than that a few spots are showing some paint beat off and a bit of surface rust from gravel roads. Overall I'm still very satisfied with it. I'll add a few updated pictures. I love the 17,400 lb gross weight capacity. No issues with the heavy light cams and the sealed wiring harness yet!
