. . . is this lifted trailer completely devoid of lights, registration, and  common sense.

It was a normal white box made by someone who knows what they are doing. Then, someone crudely stuffed an entirely too large solid truck axle underneath it. The absurd axle was supported by some very thin looking leaf springs which were not quite lined up right. There appeared to be nothing to check lateral movement and it was crabbing like crazy, so I can’t imagine the Honda Odyssey towing it was happy. Also, this crude replacement had the effect of bringing the trailer’s height nearly up to the rear window of the Odyssey, also making loading difficult and its speed of 65 mph a white knuckle experience.

I don’t know what happened to the sensible axle it came with, but someone should never be allowed near a tool box again.

My first thought was that perhaps it exists because someone lifted their truck and needed to lift the trailer as well so the hitches would be at the same level, but nope, it’s an Odyssey. Yeah, that makes no sense.

And because of the low hitch, the already top-heavy trailer had its rear end in the air. Needless to say, I got far away.
