The fairing will help quiet the noise caused by the wind hitting the crossbars.

  • Can Curt Adjustable Hitch # 13703 Fit C-Channel Frame that is 72 inches Apart
  • You'd want to have the C-channel of your frame boxed where you attach the Curt hitch part # 13703. This will be the only way the hitch will fit the frame and attach securely. You'll need to have a welder weld in a section of metal on the C-channel where you want to install the hitch so that you'd basically be installing it like the trailer had a boxed frame instead.

  • All Trailer Lights Work Except Turn Signals w/Curt Wiring Harness Installed on 1991 Suzuki Sidekick
  • When just the turn signals are not working on the trailer, it is a bit of a strange situation because the brake lights and turn signals are on the same circuit. So, if the turn signals or brake lights are working then the other function should be as well. But there are situations when this can occur, for example on a vehicle that has combined brake and turn signals but also has a dedicated brake light wire. If your Sidekick has combined brake and turn signals, then you would attach the...

  • Base Plates and Accessories to Flat Tow a 1997 Suzuki Sidekick
  • In order to flat tow the vehicle, you would need the tow bar, base plates, wiring for the vehicle tail lights, safety cables and a supplemental braking system, depending on the state you were planning on towing the vehicle through. Since you already have a tow bar, you would start with a base plate. Blue Ox does not offer a base plate kit that is compatible with a 2WD 4 door model Sidekick, but there is a Roadmaster Base Plate Kit, part # 1007-2 that will work, as long as your Sidekick...

  • Electric Brake Controller Recommendation for a 1997 Beaver Monterey
  • Yes you can install an electric brake controller on your vehicle. As long as there is a stop light circuit that you can tap into (there will be) then you can install a brake controller on basically any vehicle. For vehicles like yours this is a very common solution for towing a trailer with electric brakes. Typically controllers that adapt your brake style to electric brakes are pretty expensive and no more effective than a good proportional controller like the P3 part # 90195 that you...

  • Base Plate Kit Recommendation for a 1997 Suzuki Sidekick 4x4
  • If you have a 4 door non-Sport 1997 Suzuki Sidekick then you would want part # 1007-2, if you have a Sport model you instead would want the # 1009-1. These both would work great with your Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520. We don't carry any used parts, but the two options I listed will work well for you. The removable arms you have now won't work with any of the base plate kits we offer for your vehicle as they are designed to only work on the base plates they were originally designed...

  • Blue Ox Base Plate Kit Recommendations for a 1994 Suzuki Sidekick
  • There are two options for Blue Ox base plates for your 1994 Suzuki Sidekick. If you have a 4-door 4 wheel drive model you would want the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX3505. If you have a 2-door model you would want the # BX3503. For a tow bar you could go with the Blue Ox Alpha part # BX7380. This comes with safety chains. For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not have to worry about cutting and splicing into the vehicle wiring. And finally, most states...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 1998 Suzuki Sidekick Sport
  • For the 1998 Suzuki Sidekick Sport Model, the Curt Class I, part # C11024 is a confirmed fit. According to Curt, their # 11128 Class I hitch is NOT a fit for a Sport model Sidekick. If you'll be using the hitch for light-duty towing, consult the owner's manual to ensure you don't exceed the towing capabilities of the vehicle. The hitch has a 200 lb tongue weight/2000 lb towing capacity, which will be limited by the towing capacity of the vehicle if it's less than that of the hitch. You...

  • Would the Roadmaster Bulb and Socket Kit Fit a 1995 Suzuki Sidekick
  • As long as you have room for a 2 inch tall bulb in your current taillight housings the Roadmaster Taillight kit part # RM-155 would fit and work well. The Roadmaster fit guide does not include your vehicle so I don't know for sure.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1994 Suzuki Sidekick Behind an RV with a Falcon II Tow Bar
  • It sounds like you not only need the bar but some of the other parts that originally came with it and the Falcon II tow bar # RM-520. That means you would need the whole assembly which is # 910021-00. The assembly and the tow bar will then be compatible with base plates # 118-1 for your 1994 Suzuki Sidekick. If the tow bar did not come with safety cables you will need a set of those as well # RM-643. You will also need a lighting solution. A popular option is the LED bulb and socket...

  • RoadMaster Even Brake System is Connected to the Towed Vehicle Battery for Power
  • The RoadMaster Even Brake System is connected to your Suzuki (towed vehicle) battery for power. The engine does not need to be running for the battery to provide voltage and power to the brakes. (Even Brake consumes battery power in the towed car as you drive. Roadmaster recommends that you start your towed vehicle after towing for more than 6 hours and let it idle 15 to 20 minutes to re-charge the battery.) If the battery voltage drops too low, Even Brake cuts power to the system, while...

  • Everything Needed to Flat Tow a 1996 Suzuki Sidekick 2-Door Behind an RV
  • If the crossover tube on your 1996 Suzuki Sidekick 2-door is open you will need to use base plates # 118-3. But you mentioned that it is open with a bracket welded on each side. If that bracket is not blocking the openings on the crossover tube then # 118-3 is correct. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. The 118-3 base plates have a part of the bracket that looks like a tube that needs to be inserted into that crossover tube. If the ends are blocked then you...

  • Recommended Replacement For A Dometic 541916A711J0 RV Air Conditioner System
  • Based on the pictures you provided the 3-prong connector is most likely your power, ground, and neutral and the communication wires between the rooftop unit and controller must be separately hardwired. To replace your unit you would need to cut the connector off and hardwire each connection. You could possibly replace just the rooftop unit but you would need to contact Dometic with all the info on your tag to get the correct wiring diagram and would then need to cut the communication...

  • Tow Bar Recommendation for the 1995 Suzuki Sidekick
  • If your 1995 Suzuki Sidekick has RoadMaster, EZ, XL, or standard base plates installed on it then the RoadMaster Tracker Tow Bar - 5,000 lbs, item # RM-020, will work directly with the base plates on the vehicle. Most of the RoadMaster tow bars will work with these base plates (see link). To ease installation and removal of the tow bar you will need the Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnect Kit, item # RM-201. This will allow you to remove that towbar and cross bar easily and also allows...

  • What Size Hitch is Available for 1994 Suzuki Sidekick
  • For lighter duty vehicles like your 1994 Suzuki Sidekick there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches available like the Curt part # 11128. The larger 2 inch size is only seen on heavier duty vehicles like trucks and SUVs. You'd need a new bike rack that fits the 2 inch hitch size basically like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z.

  • What Parts Are Needed for Flat Towing a 1997 Suzuki Sidekick with Automatic Transmission
  • The best way to confirm your Sidekick's suitability for flat towing is to check the owner's manual under the heading recreational towing or by checking with your local dealership using your VIN number. Generally, a vehicle with automatic transmission is less likely to be flat-towable and may require use of a tow dolly like the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1. Other cars may need special preparation steps before towing them wheels-down. Your manual/dealership will clarify this for you. My online...

  • Black Spare Tire Cover for 215/75R16 Tire
  • A tire in size 215/75R16 has an overall diameter of about 28-3/4-inches so a black spare tire cover like # 052963753875 from Classic Accessories or part # RA773201 from Rampage would work well.
