Re: Trailer Mods
 

MJ I am assuming you no longer have that trailer. I would like to see some close ups if you still have it, or from anybody else.

Looked at mine a little closer today and found they are more like sliders then rollers. :(

The Load-Rite on the blazer is my brand new one!! You see the old under the V20 in the back ground.

They have plastic bushings on the screws.

Great work, Turbo!!...any pics of finished insallation?...

...every now and then a thread comes along that's REALLY informative...this one gets an "A" ....IMHO of course... ;) ...

Re: Trailer Mods
 

Thanks RAP. I will take some today with tires on and off the jack stands.

Looking into the roller situation and I am not liking what I am finding. My rollers are 4" wide and 4" tall, the shaft is 3/4" but it looks like the shaft length or the web of the rollers is only 1/2".

Most new rollers I am finding have a shaft length of 1 1/4" to 1 1/2". Where can I find one as narrow as what I have on there now.

Also it seems easier to find 5" tall and 3" wide rollers. The extra 1" higher doesn't bother me but the 1" narrower seems like I will be giving up valuable support surface. Any thoughts from you guys who have done this before.

Turbo, take a peak here:

See if that's what you need. What brand trailer do you have? There are a couple of places local that can get whatever you need.

Air: its suppose to be a load rite but lateley it seems to be a load wrong. :(

Re: Trailer Mods
 

Air those are the rollers I have now. Dont know if I should go back with them or upgrade to the bushing type. The bushing type will require new arms as well, $$$$$. Maybe if I go back with these they will last a couple of years. Hopfuly load and unload better.

Another thing I thought about is the rollers I have now have a hole drilled in them so the roll pin, which is rusted, can be driven into and out of the shaft.

Not looking forward to this at all. I was worried about the spring replacement but it went better then expected. I was hoping the rollers would be easier then the springs but it's not looking that way. ???

Re: Trailer Mods
 

Turbo, don't sweat it. Post up a pic of one of your roller arms. We'll figure out the best solution. I've done enough trailer work over the years to figure a few things out. ;) I can't see how you'd need new arms to change roller types. Even the tie down yellow rollers come with different size bushings in the kit to accomodate differing shaft sizes.

I would like to start this reply with a warning. MJ and Stinky need not read any further. ;D






Air It's not the diameter on the shaft that bothers me, it's the length of it. The space between the inside washer and the outside washer is only about 1/2".

I'll try to get some close ups to post so you can see what I am talking about.

Re: Trailer Mods
 

:-[ You hurt my feelings!!!!! :'(

I would never say anything about you liking it longer then wider!!

But that must just be a guy thing, cause women like it wider if they have to make a choice!! ;D

But the rollers that were just posted above are the right one, I believe??
