    I'd say "never ending" with a grain of salt there Sooner. Yeah, they're steady replacing it, the old, good, heavy, metal stuff, with the new, "improved", lightweight, cheap plastic "crap". When you get your trailer, don't be surprised if it ain't plastic too, right down to the axle and ball bearings(soon as they can figure out a way to do it) You can maybe look forward to hauling heaping loads of plastic in it too ; )
