Definately worth that price in my opinion. If you want to get rid of a lot of the weight you can always remove the box or cut it down. It is a little heavy for a trail trailer but I use it mostly to set up an elk base camp.

Also, if you swap the axle and get some lighter weight wheels/tires, you can probably save around 200lbs.

Yes the axle on mine is rated at 9,000 lbs. When I pulled the hubs apart it looked like original grease and almost no wear on the brakes and other parts. The tires still had the little nubs too. I thought about swapping the axle but can't get myself to get rid of one that is practically new. You will find it difficult to find a hub with a 6-lug toyota pattern though. Larry at ABC trailerparts went out of his way to help but we missed one measurement that ended being an important one. I am going to find some newer 8 lug rims and mount some 285x 17 tires which will fill out the fenders a little better.
