New 6000lb axle installed and brake flange bolted on.



New 3000lb TieDown Vortex GalvX 6 lug hubs:





12" Kodiak Rotor and Caliper (KodaGuard coating).







Complete! Also note new spring hanger hardware, these are hot dipped galvanized A325 structural bolts as I could not find galvanized grade 8 bolts. I did not want to use stainless or general use galvanized here since shear strength is required for this application. Though not quite as strong as grade 8, these should work nicely and last a lot longer.



The next day I wired up the trailer. New lights (not pictured), hydraulic lines, Hydrastar 1600psi hydraulic actuator, brakeaway kit, etc. Each light got it's own home run of triplex marine tinned wire (no trailer frame ground) with heat shrink butt splices. All of it was wired back to this 7 pin junction box.







Finally I went around the trailer and replaced just about every piece of hardware with stainless, using nylon washers and coating to prevent any corrosion between the aluminum and stainless.
