Expert Answers about Toyota


  • Anti-Rattle, locking, Stabilization Pin that will not Rust
  • I have just what you need, a stainless steel locking anti-rattle hitch pin for you. I suggest the Stainless Steel Locking, Anti-Rattle Threaded Hitch Pin for 2" Trailer Hitches part # SR25219. You will need a hollow shank for this to work. For a solid shank, you will want the Andersen Trailer Hitch Lock part # AM3493 for the lock in addition to our Brophy Stabilizer Bracket part # RHSB for anti-rattle.

  • Aftermarket Magnaflow Catalytic Converter VS OEM Catalytic Converter
  • Typically catalytic converter contains two or more ceramic substrates, coated with a combination of Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium and a Ceria based wash coat, packed into a stainless steel housing. There is a certain amount of precious metals that need to be in a catalytic converter to pass inspection. That being said, there is still plenty of precious metals in aftermarket catalytic converters like the MagnaFlow Converter # MF49461 you're looking at. I do not know if it's more or less...

  • Ladder Racks Manufactured In The U.S.A
  • The Rola Haul-Your-Might T3 Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # 59799 is not made or manufactured in the U.S.A. however, I do have a very similar option that is made and manufactured in the U.S.A. For this, you will want to use the TracRac TracONE Ladder Rack for 2005 to 2015 Toyota Tacoma part # TH27000XTB-TA. Both the Rola and TracRac ladder racks have an 800 lb. weight capacity, however, the Rola rack comes with a 5 year warranty whereas the TracRac comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

  • Is the MaxxAir Mini Trailer Roof Vent # MA00-03700 Plastic or Metal
  • The MaxxAir Mini Trailer Roof Vent # MA00-03700 that you referenced is made out of a durable plastic that actually does a really good job against the sun. If you wanted a total metal vent then you could use the Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent # V2110SP-24 which is also a manually operated vent. The thing about this kit though is that it will keep out bugs and debris when left open but not rain. To keep it open while it is raining you would need to use a cover like the MaxxAir Standard...

  • Should you Fashion your Own Landing Pads
  • I would not recommend trying to fashion the Yakima Landing Pads 24, part # Y74FR, out of aluminum yourself. These fit kits have to be very precise, and trying to make one for yourself will definitely void any kind of warranty on the towers and crossbars. As for the strength, Yakima has been doing quite well over the years with improving the quality of their products, so you can rest assured that the material of the Landing Pads 24 is strong enough to handle the 165-pound limit of the crossbars....

  • Fifth Wheel King Pin Weight and Truck Payload Capacity
  • The hitch pin weight of 1400 lbs you stated is so close to your payload capacity, but that is not accounting for the 5th wheel hitch and rail weights or the loaded weight with cargo added. Tunda's are notorious for having a lower payload and in this case, I can't tell you it will be fine. The payload weight is spread out over the truck bed where the 5th wheel rails are mounted to the frame directly so are more secure. Unfortunately manufacturers don't test for the 5th Wheel Hitch weight...

  • Is the Curt Class III Ball Mount with 2-5/16" Ball - 2" Drop - 7,500 lbs Made in USA
  • The Curt Class III Ball Mount with 2-5/16" Ball part # C45041 is not made in the USA but we do have options that are like the B&W Heavy-Duty Ball Mount part # BWBMHD30010. This is not a complete kit though so you'd also need to add the 2-5/16" Hitch Bal part # BWHB94050 and Gen-Y Hitch Pin and Clip for 2" Hitches part # 325-GH-096. This setup is over twice the price of the one you picked out and requires you to still torque the hitch ball but it's made up of all USA components.

  • Inno Velo Gripper on a Bike with a Carbon Frame
  • If the Inno Velo Gripper, part # INRT202, has not been scratching the carbon fork of your current bike, then it probably will not scratch the carbon frame of your new bike. However, I spoke with Inno on your behalf, and they cannot guarantee there will be no scratching. They recommended using some kind of padding between the grip of the Velo Gripper and the frame.

  • Identifying the Axle from a Home-Built Trailer
  • There are a couple ways to determine what kind of axle you have. If there aren't any part markings on the axle or anywhere else on the trailer frame that list your trailer axle specifications, you need to measure your spindle with a calipers to get a precise measurement. I couldn't find a matching bearing based on the measurements you provided, so make sure you are using the right equipment to take these spindle measurements. You can also measure the axle diameter to get an idea of the...
