Useless without a top, but I don't see how they could be illegal.

Legal as hell in Elwood, TX ... but then again ... anythang is.

Generally speakin', I believe most law enforcement personnel would prefer to see fenders rather than mudflaps.

Not legal in Oregon. Have to have fenders unless there is a body above the tire.

I wonder how the Semi Tractors without a trailer get away with driving in Oregon?

Different rules for different classes of vehicles and trailers.

Well, in Oregon, container trailers do not have to run fenders. Specific exemption. Mud flaps are required, though.

The one problem I have seen on a few of the SnowBear trailers with the extendable tongue is that the welds on the front trailer/tongue bracket tend to crack. Might be something to look at on yours.

Yup that happened already, 400 clicks and a ferry ride from home too
Still made the last ferry of the night and have since replaced it with some 3x3x3/16 wall tube

Yes, costco and home depot.

How much weight caused it to buckle? or was it the constant overloading.

I have one and worried about the same thing.

Had way too much weight on there, But i agree it is a weak link on this trailer and if you use it allot I would recommend replacing it.
The front and rear door is removable on these trailers and is a very cool design in that it also doubles as a loading ramp.
Oh and it also tilts too...
