I'm thinking about tackling frame next. I'm sure it's a bit crusty under there after 17 years of service in Midwest and don't want to open up a huge can of worms.
Possibly wire brush the crusty stuff and then use POR or a similar rust product.

I did put new axles on this trailer is 2011.

I have not pictures up of my trailer, but it has served me very well. I am glad to have purchased the trailer I have and would it to anyone.

I have a 2005 H&amp;H enclosed-- 24' V nose. 5200# axles. Switched to Load Range E's on the 15&quot; rims and that has made all the difference.

Trailer Aid or nailed dimensional lumber as a ramp to get a flat tire up off the ground.

Cordless impact is worth its weight in gold.

E-track in the floor has worked well and given me flexibility to tie down anything.

3/4&quot; marine grade plywood floor has held up well.

Bonded aluminium sides and roof mean no rivets. Smooth and clean.

The lights are LEDs and any exposed metal for the frame were covered in Line-X.

Just had another weekend pull to Michigan and back. 1700 miles and it was ready for another weekend out.

E trac is the way to go ...

All my enclosed car haulers trailer have heavy duty 50K rated etrac that is bolted thru
both floor layers - you can drive over the heavy etrac without deforming it.
