Heads up, trailer maintenence.

Make sure you prep & pretrip your trailers, tonite while greasing the wheel bearings on ours I found only one bolt (out of four) holding the brake backing plate on, it would seriously suck if we had a brake or bearing failure on our way to Utah so make sure you do your maintenence. I do bearings every other year and am doing them a year early due to the miles we will travel with LOORRS and this still happened.

Little time in the driveway save you alot of headache on the road.

Be sure to check those shackles too. I carry a couple spares just in case....

Rep for that Doug! good info!

Bearing Buddies, are worth their weight in gold. No more fried bearings.

Blue or Red Loctite on all trailer suspension bolts, is a must. I like to use a dab of anti-seize compound on the pivot points and wheel studs. Use a torque wrench, to tighten the lug nuts.
