went to Auto Zone and picked up 2 pair of self greasing hubs for the trailer. You replace the stock dust cover with one that has a rubber fill pocket and grease fitting to fill from the outside of the hub, essentially making it so you dont have to remove the bearing or the dust cover to grease the bearings.
The grease reservoir is spring loaded so as old grease thins out and escapes the bearing, the spring pushes new grease in it's place. It is a slick little innovation that my father in law showed me.
Picked up a set of 32x11.5 BFG MT's with 30% tread left. Gonna bring them up and maybe try running them in the winter some and see if they are worth the effort. If not, then at least they are functioning spares or can be used as a set for bartering
