Looks like a good find... what's up with those wires all over the place though?

I had to replace all the lights on it. Partly why is was so cheap. So they were hanging like that until I zip tied them.

on some dollies the wheel pan would swivel when you would go around a turn so there would be no side drag on the dolly tires while turning.

They work very well. Just remember to unlock the steering wheel in the vehicle your pulling or you'll break the steering wheel lock on the first turn. The blue should swivel on top of the white. The fenders, however, are mounted on the white frame and don't swivel.

Why are the two yellow lights on the inside of the ramps? I'd think you'd want them on the outside of them?
