    OK not everything on the trailer was reconstituted from scrap. I have certain safety rules that I always follow.
    I always use new hitch couplers and for lights I have new leds that will be installed, the "U" bolts ,spring saddles nuts and plates are always new as well Also the hubs have new bearings in them. I have a registration for the trailer at 4000 lbs Gross weight. More than that in the state of Texas I would be required to install brakes on it, which I may do later anyway.
    The tires are in real good shape nearly new in fact no checking or evidence of dry rot or UV deterioration other wise they would not have been used.
    Right now I have $263.00 invested in the trailer including the registration
