EZ LOADER Rollers

[dski]

I have a 1992 EZ Loader roller style trailer. The rollers,hog rings and u bollts are getting scary bad. When I check the internet for replacements the pricing is all over the board. Champion sells the EZ Loader replacement rollers for around $10.00 each; but I can find 3" x 5" rollers for $5.50 that look to have the same dimensions. I'm stiking out on finding U bolts. Anybody got any experience with this? There's 24 rollers on the trailer.

You pay for what you get. Cheap rollers will mark the bottom of your boat over time as the rubber starts to break down. Then they will split fast,been there and done that. U bolts, you can make some out of ss all thread rods if you are handy and have the right tools. Were are you located at?

I'm in Washington State close to Seattle. Thanks for the advice on the rollers, I'll try bending some stainless all thread.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I also have to change some rollers that have torn off the "hog pin?" Can I just unbolt the hog pin and stick a new roller on the pin?

MY dad replaced all his old black rollers with the yellow rollers. He found a guy on ebay that sells them. He had big sets of them too. While I don't remember exactly the price, I know he was stoked because it was less than 1/2 the price he thought he would have to pay. I think my dad has 36 rollers. This was only for the rollers and no hardware.

I ordered rollers from EZ Loader and they threw in all the hardware free.

I got a bunch of them direct from EZ Loader several years ago and while I don't remember the exact price I do remember that I was very pleased with the quality of the product and the transaction as a whole.
