Thanks guys, it was quite the little project. The trailer was originally powder coated. Rust creeps under the powder coat, develops heavy scale/pitting and sheads the coating. There's lots of surface area/nooks and crannies on a trailer like this. I also had to replace the two box tubes that the hydraulic cylinders mounted to. They'd rotted from the inside out. Powder coating sucks. I had a good 160 hours in this. Looking back It would have been more cost effective to buy a new trailer, but this one now really is better than new. I'd previously replaced the hub and drums, bearings, swapped in Dexter Nev-r-just brake assemblies, installed 5 new US made rims mounted with 5 new G rated radials. I've got a complete new suspension on a pallet in the barn that it's just about ready for. I have five big trailers, but this one is used most often. It's super handy with the 16,500lb winch mounted to the front. Even with the right equipment, it was a ton of work.
