  • Recommended WiFi Wireless Backup Camera System for Trailer To Use with Tablet
  • The best wireless backup camera we offer which can be viewed on a mobile device is the Rear View Safety WiFi Hitch Backup Camera System part # RVS-83112-WiFi. This unit is battery powered so there will be no wiring involved and it will work just fine with a tablet as it is WiFi capable. The app which is required to use this camera is free and you won't need an active internet signal to use the system.

  • Recommended Large Aluminum Roof Tray/Basket for 2002 Lexus LX 470
  • It sounds like you are looking for a large aluminum roof basket/tray for your 2002 Lexus LX 470 and if that's the case we do have some great options but maybe not exactly what you are looking for due to budget constraints. In regards to the material, aluminum is great because it's super lightweight and durable but one thing it is not is cheap. The Inno Shaper 100 Roof Cargo Basket part # IN569 is our best option for you based on what you described. If you are willing to consider steel,...

  • Comparing the Two Best E-Bike Racks from Thule and Yakima
  • For heavier e-bikes like yours there are two frontrunners for bike racks to consider with the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 and the Yakima OnRamp part # Y36FR. What sets these apart from others is they both have ramps to make loading and unloading bikes easier since e-bikes are heavy. The EasyFold folds down into a smaller size when not in use which helps for garage storage but the OnRamp is 6 lbs lighter at 39 lbs compared to 45. That's how I'd pick if I were you. Which would you...

  • Parts Needed to Install Trailer Brake Controller on 2006 Lexus LX 470
  • If your 2006 Lexus LX 470 is equipped with the factory 7-Way connector at the rear of the vehicle, all of the necessary wires are already run to the connector for it to be fully functional and allow for an easy installation of a trailer brake controller. All of the necessary fuses should also be present. For the brake controller, I highly recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195. This is an excellent, proportional controller that will activate the trailer brakes at the same time and...

  • Solution for Installing Trailer Hitch Where Bolt Holes Don't Seem To Line Up
  • The recommended solution for installing a hitch where the bolts all don't seem to perfectly line up is to first start each install bolt and leave it as loose as possible. This gives you a bit more leeway to compensate for holes that don't seem to line up perfectly. Once they are all started you can then begin to tighten them down. Typically what causes is this is the hitch getting bent in shipping.

  • Wiring Recommendation to Install a Brake Controller in a 1998 Lexus LX470 with 7-Way
  • Since you have a brake controller already and a functioning 7-way all you need to wire the brake controller to the vehicle and 7-way is the install kit part # 5506. This comes with everything needed for powering the brake controller but you will also need 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot to connect the wire to the 7-way.

  • Trailer Wiring for 2000 Lexus LX 470 Manufactured in August 1999
  • Thanks for the pictures! To determine if your Lexus 470 is indeed a 1999 or 2000, you can look under the hood for an emissions testing sticker which will give the year or you can call your local Lexus dealer with the VIN and they should be able to clear this up for you. If your vehicle is indeed a 1999, the Curt Custom Fit T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness, # C55365, will work for you. If it is a 2000, then the wiring harness for you would be the Upgraded Circuit Protected Taillight...

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2005 Lexus LX 470
  • It is not recommended to try and use two sets of suspension enhancement on a vehicle for a few reasons. One being that if you were maxing out your vehicle suspension and one set of suspension enhancement you are WAY over the vehicle capacity and you shouldn't be towing that setup any way. Another reason is the ride quality would be so harsh that you would hate it. Also the kits were only tested with the factory suspension by itself so it wouldn't be known how it would react. A single...

  • Recommended Solution to Extend a 7-Way to 7-Way Connector from a 2006 Lexus LX 470 to Pop Up Camper
  • The TorkLift wiring harness extension # TLW6028 will be a short term solution or if it's an occasional fix. The reason I say that is because it opens up possibilities of problems. These problems could result in becoming disconnected, additional connection points that could get dirt and grime in the connector to name a few. To avoid some issues associated with corrosion on the connection points you can use dielectric grease # 11755 or # LT37534 that seals out moisture and prevents corrosion....

  • Can Sway Control Be Used for Boat Trailer with Surge Brakes
  • I definitely have a solution for you, however as you mentioned in your question a standard friction sway bar like the Reese # 83660 or a full weight distribution system that uses this type of friction sway control cannot be used on trailers with surge brakes. This is because the tension they put on the tongue will limit the movement and effectiveness of the surge coupler (and thus your braking). With all of that being said, there are still weight distribution systems with integrated sway...

  • Will 10 Trailer Brakes and etrailer Hub and Drum Assembly 10 Fit TImbren Axle-Less ASR2KHDS03?
  • They sure are! The Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - 4" Lift Spindle - Wide Tires - 2,000 lbs # ASR2KHDS03 you were looking at has the 4 bolt mounting flange which will fit the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit w/ Parking Brakes - 10" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 3.5K # K23-086-087-00 perfectly. In addition the Timbren # ASR2KHDS03 uses inner bearing # L68149 and outer bearing # L44649 which is exactly what the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3.5K E-Z Lube Axles - 10"...

  • Parts Needed to Install an Electric Trailer Brake Controller on a 2005 Lexus LX470
  • First, make sure your 2005 Lexus LX470 came equipped with a 7-Way trailer connector from the factory. If it did, the factory wiring harness for a brake controller will be there. The plug is located underneath the dashboard, to the left of the steering column taped to another wiring harness near the left side of the vehicle. It may also be more towards the center of the vehicle under the steering column. You may have to dig around because the harness could be behind another bundle of wires,...

  • Bypassing the Factory 7-Way on a 2006 Lexus LX 470 with an Aftermarket 7-Way
  • If you are wanting to bypass the wiring on your 2006 Lexus LX 470 then I recommend installing the Vehicle Wiring Harness Kit # C59496 for a 4-Way flat and then installing the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 for a fully functioning 7-Way. The Tekonsha kit will hardwire into your tail lights and you will use the included circuit tester to connect each wire to the proper function. You will then need to run the Black lead wire up to battery so that the trailer lights will draw power directly...

  • Can Weight Distribution be Used on a 2001 Lexus LX 470 with Self-Leveling Rear Suspension
  • You can use a weight distribution system on a vehicle with a self-leveling rear suspension like your 2001 Lexus LX470. Weight distribution can still be a good idea because it does more than just take out the rear end sag of a vehicle, it also distributes the weight more evenly to all axles of the tow vehicle and trailer. The way you would set it up is to connect the trailer and allow the suspension to level it. Then you would put the spring bars into position. This may cause the system...

  • Lightweight Ramps for Help with Loading Animals Into an SUV
  • The Flint Hill Goods 30x50 Cargo Carrier part # FHG77ZR that you referenced does weigh 80 pounds. Unfortunately, all of the cargo carriers we offer with a built-in ramp are going to exceed the 40 lb limit you referred to. However, we do have one carrier that is close. Check out the Flint Hill Goods # FHG67ZR. It is made of aluminum and has a 500- pound capacity. It weighs 54.5 pounds and has a 40" long ramp. This ramp is shorter than the other 48" ramps or even 60" ramps, so you would...

  • Does Installing a Hitch on the 2003 Lexus LX 470 Require Relocating the 7 Way Connector
  • Yes. You will have to remove and relocate the 7way connection on your 2003 Lexus LX 470 in order to install the Draw-Tite # 75095 since it will install in the same location. You can likely use some self tapping screws and the Mounting Bracket for 7-Way # 18138 to attach your existing bracket to the newly installed hitch, or you can fabricate something on your own. When it comes to the spare tire, as long as your tires are not larger than the tires that came stock on the vehicle, this...

  • Which Roof Top Cargo Basket Will Fit a 1998 Lexus LX470 and Allow for Easy Installation or Removal
  • The Thule M.O.A.B. roof basket # TH690 would work well for your 1998 Lexus LX470 SUV, as long as you have roof rack bars that run side to side, and they are not wider than 4 inches. The M.O.A.B. cargo carrier features a very simple installation. To attach the basket to your roof rack, you would use the four two-piece mounting brackets. The brackets sandwich your roof bars, and are held together by two bolts with wing knobs, so they are easy to put on and take off. I have included...
