It is not required to use a special wiring harness like the Putco Wiring Harness for H7 Halogen Bulbs, item # P230007HD. It is recommended because the vehicle wiring may not be heavy enough to provide the power needed to make the bulbs burn as brightly as they are designed to.
The heavier wiring will also be better able to handle the heat that is created by the brighter bulbs. This adds safety when upgrading bulbs. view full answer...
The brackets in your picture don't look like typical Thule mounting hardware so you must be looking at a much older Thule 600 Touring roof box. If you would like to stick with square crossbars then you need the 53" long Thule SquareBar Crossbars # TH712400 and the Evo Raised Rail # TH710401.
These bars have a width of 1-1/4" and a height of 7/8". You can use these dimensions to help you determine if the cargo carrier you are looking at will fit.
I couldn't help but notice that the mounting... view full answer...
Absolutely!
It is not uncommon to have to bend the Long No-Drill Mounting Bracket # 18136 to make it where you can mounting a 7-way connector. There is no issue with mounting the bracket vertically and bending it a bit to allow your 7-way connector mounting bracket to fit.
I included a video of the # 18136 for you to take a look at. view full answer...
The Yakima HullRaiser to HullRaiser Aero Conversion Kit, Y8860031, is a Yakima product. The conversion will fit virtually all base rack cross bars, including factory cross bars. If you do not have crossbars going across your vehicle from driver side to passenger side on your factory rack, then you will need to get those. view full answer...
The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, # RRVA137B-2, you mentioned will work great with your 2009 Subaru Tribeca. You will also need the leg kit, # RRRLKVA. The leg kit will use provided hardware to attach to the fixed mounting points on the roof of your Tribeca.
The crossbars that you referenced are also available in silver as part # RRVA137S-2. view full answer...
You said that the brake controller output circuit was the number 2 circuit on your 7-way. If by that you mean the 2:00 position then you have the circuits flip flopped. The 2:00 position should be the 12 volt accessory circuit, not the brake output circuit. That would explain why you are getting 12 volts all the time.
The brake controller circuit should be the 5:00 position. Check out the diagram I attached to see how it should all get wired up. view full answer...
In order to mount the Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning # RR32132 to your 2008 Subaru Tribeca you will need to replace your existing Yakima Round Crossbars with aero-style units. This is because the Sunseeker requires the integrated top channels on these style bars, which aren't present on round bars like what you have.
For this I recommend the Yakima 60" JetStream Crossbars # Y00426. Since you already have a Yakima roof rack you will be able to replace just the bars using your existing mounting... view full answer...

For your 2007 Subaru Tribeca I would recommend you get a etrailer Products Hitch Cargo Carrier, part # e98874. This carrier has a folding mechanism in it to allow it to be up and out of the way when you are not using it.
This carrier measures 19-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the carrier when down, and 9-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of carrier when folded up. I would measure from the center of your hitch pin... view full answer...
The wiring harnesses like # C55370 for the 2011 Subaru Tribeca are meant to be stored in the vehicle cargo area and then pulled out the back with the rear hatch closed on it (the weatherstripping on the vehicle will protect it) when you need it.
In order to route it down under the vehicle you will need to find a grommet or some exit point at the lowest point in the cargo area. If there is no grommet or you find one that is not large enough you will have to drill through the bottom of... view full answer...
When installing electric brakes onto your single axle camper you can not use 2 left brakes on one axle. You will need one Left # AKEBRK-35L and one Right # AKEBRK-35R. If one set of brake assemblies is on the wrong side of the axle, it will lead to diminished braking performance and premature brake wear.
If you have any other questions please feel free to reach back out to me anytime and I will be more than happy to further assist you in your towing endeavors. view full answer...
The closest vehicle to your 2009 Subaru Tribeca we have an install video for is a 2010 Subaru Outback. The process will be very similar so using that video as a guide will help you through the install.
The P2 part # 90885 is better than the Primus in a lot of ways. It can mount in several different orientations and has a much more advanced way of sensing deceleration so it will give you better overall braking performance.

The Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, part # C13069, is a good fit for your Subaru Tribeca. This hitch comes complete with hardware and requires no welding to install. I measured the distance from the mounting flange to the center of the hitch pin hole and it measures approximately 3-7/8 inches.
The 19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier, part # C18100 may be a fit for the hitch depending on the clearance. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the front edge of the carrier when folded up... view full answer...
In order to tow the 1976 Starcraft Starmaster 6 Pop Up Camper with your 2008 Subaru Tribeca you will need a trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. These will be the only requirements to tow the trailer but you may also be interested in a transmission cooler to help prolong the life of your vehicle's transmission.
For a trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13046. This hitch is a custom fit so no drilling is required and it is super... view full answer...
I believe what you have is friction style sway control. All you will need is a Reese Sway-Control Bracket, # RP26003. This will fit on 2 inch ball mounts. Or, for 1-1/4 inch ball mounts, use # RP26005.
If your 2009 Subaru Tribeca has a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver, the recommended ball mount is # AMSC2. If it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver, the recommended ball mount is # C45521. I have included a link to our ball mount FAQ article for you to view. view full answer...
When installing the Curt Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # C13046, on the 2009 Subaru Tribeca the plastic fascia tabs will be located on the lower part of the bumper towards the corners. It will allow the plastic rear fascia to flex enough to allow the hitch to be installed to the bumper beam. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Curt hitch, but it does not show where the tabs are located. view full answer...
When looking to carry three bikes on your 2008 Subaru Tribeca, I would recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top Carrier for Vehicles with Spoilers, # HRF2-3. I called and spoke with my contact at Hollywood Racks to ensure this model would work well with your vehicle. The price is a little bit higher than what you were looking to spend but it is the most economical way to safely carry your bikes and this is the only trunk mount rack that I would recommend for your vehicle due to it having... view full answer...
From the information I was able to find, your 2013 Subaru Tribeca does not have a brake controller connection under the dashboard, so you will be required to do some hard-wiring work. In order to install a 7 way connection on the back of your vehicle you can use the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controllers # ETBC7 to plug into your existing 4 way; from there you'll just need to run a brake controller, aux power wire, battery wire and ground.
Since there are no plug and... view full answer...
I do have options for you to install a 7-way trailer wiring harness and brake controller on your 2009 Subaru Tribeca but we do not offer a kit with all of this included. Instead, you would need to purchase each of the components separately. For starters, you will need a 4-way trailer wiring harness if you do not already have one and for that I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118461 which is a plug and play kit that will not require any... view full answer...
If it is the carrier that slopes inside the trailer hitch receiver you can try an anti-rattle device, like the Lets Go Aero Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232. This will help keep the carrier snug against the inside of the hitch receiver. Sometimes wheelchair carriers or carriers with ramps will slightly slope downward due to the weight of the carrier.
If the receiver of the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13069 is sloped downward and there are no issues with the vehicle suspension... view full answer...
