Anyone here have long term (10+ yrs) experience with an aluminum axle on their trailer?

I had a 2004 Rolls under my 18 RF.  I sold the boat a couple years ago to a forum member (i dont think he logs on much).  That trailer was the best trailer i have ever owned.  I never had a single issue with their lifetime spring system or axle.

I"m gona baby this one....so, I'll be sure to be carrying a sprayer of salt off to remove any salt..

 

A lot of people use a gallon pump sprayer. I used an old simple green bottle. Was much smaller and easier to carry. Put a little salt away and the rest water. Any of the spray bottles from hardware store would work. Little more work to apply but carrying easier.

Now she is ready to go.....

The tires are 215/75/14 which are slightly wider  then the 205's...but, I ran her hard today over bumps etc and no scuffing on the guide board.
