Here is the build sheet. Don't pay attention to the pricing though I did get some discount.

Got some nice extras. IMO, grey was a good choice too.

Love the colors. Sick of “you can have any color, as long as it’s black” from the trailer manufacturers.

Yeah black and grey were the only free ones. The rest were $666 list price upcharge.

Yea, paint isn’t low budget stuff anymore cheap-o rust oleum is like $65/gallon now. Cheap interior latex is over $20 bucks.

Just helped my son with painting his first home.

$20 bucks???? Try like $50 bucks a gallon for anything better than white water in a can.

I forgot about slipper springs. I like them. I hope you have many miles trying to remember it is back there. (tracks well) I probably missed it - didn't see EZ grease axles. Glad to see you have brakes on both axles - makes it legal and Very important. Very nice trailer. Looks like it runs low - are those 4" drop axles? Very nice. My wife would have probably ordered PINK color for $600 just to see my reaction.

There might be less chance it would be stolen in that hue.

Lots of pictures when it follows you home Mr. BigJohn!

The axles do have the EZ-Lube option, and they are Dexters. They are straight axles. It's actually a pretty tall trailer for a car hauler.

Dexter has (or at least used to) their own variant of the EZ Lube hub. They have some stupid name for it that slips my mind right now, but yeah... very similar in concept to EZ Lube.

I have them on one of my trailers, and they work well. Pump new grease in until you see all of the old nasty grease come out, wipe up any mess, and pop the dust cap back into its place.

They're not ideal for boat trailers regularly dunked at the boat ramp, bearing buddies still win there, but they're much better than other options for almost anything else. Most importantly, they won't dump grease into your drum brakes, as bearing buddies and many other options tend to do.
