Yep Stainless bolts from Ace Hardware and lock washers. Just drilled and tapped the wheels so no nut either. Took forever to drill and tap them.

Yeah, they are on the car hauler now which doesn't see as many miles but it does get drug through some shit. This weekend it's going off road with a load of ATVs.
I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say they are 1/2" diameter but I'm probably wrong and I don't remember the length either. I do know they don't stick but a couple of threads out the back of the wheel.

I'd say safe bet would be to use locktite.

I don't think they need to be overly secured because the plastic caps that have one or 2 half-assed threads never seem to fly off. But they do cost a kidney so loctite is cheap insurance.
It's just a trailer doing what it's built for. Guess we will see how well my buddies 408 Denali pulls a load through sugar sand. Might have to hook up all 3 quads to yank it out
No, I wanna go, I miss ATV'in.
