Video Transcript for Review of Yakima Yakima Trailer Expansion Kit - Y08111

Hello, etrailer friends. Steven here. Today we're looking at a Cross Member Kit to expand your Yakima Rack and Roll trailer. So like I said, this is a Cross Member Kit. So if you already have your Yakima Rack and Roll trailer for like your kayaks, powder, hounds, ski, snowboard carriers, maybe a cargo box or something like that, a basket, this is the perfect expansion kit for you to take that 66 inch trailer and expand it all the way out to this big 78 inch trailer. That's right, 78 inches wide.

That's what you're gonna get here in the kit. It does come with the two roll bars up here and the two mainframe expansion bars here as well. And as you can kind of see here on the closeup, that's gonna come with all the connectors that run through those just like your other ones. That way, you can connect those for your lights and everything. It is gonna come with four of these replacement end caps.

Those will go into the end of the round bars back here. It's a very nice construction, just like your current Yakima trailer that you already have. So again, this kit is gonna let you expand that 66 inch trailer up to a whopping 78 inch trailer. So there's not much more to say about them, other than it's a pretty easy install. You've already put together your trailer once.

So all you simply do is take out that current hardware, take out those crossbar members, put the new, longer one in place, and put all your old hardware back in place. Well, it does have a lifetime warranty from Yakima, like most of their products, so there's no need to worry about replacement parts in the future. My name is Steven, again, this is etrailer.com, the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer Expansion Kit.

  • Could Yakima Rack and Roll Accommodate E-Bike and Trike
    The Yakima part number # Y08111 is just the crossbars of Yakima Rack and Roll trailer which the correct size trailer for these 78 inch bars is the part # Y08107. This trailer would be able to accommodate both an e-bike and a trike.

  • Are The Heavy Duty Shocks And The 66 Inch Yakima Rack And Roll Trailer Compatible?
    I reached out to my contact at Yakima and they confirmed that the Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08110 will fit on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 66 inch # Y08106. However the 66 inch trailer is not able to carry more than 250 lbs unless you add the 78 inch crossmember kit # Y08111 which will allow you to carry up to 350 lbs. The 66 inch crossmember limits that trailer to 250 lbs.

  • Will Heavy Duty Shocks Fit Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer 66" Trailer
    According to Yakima, the Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08110 should only be used if you add the 78" crossmember kit # Y08111. They didn't have an exact reason for this, but it sounds like the concern is people will attempt to overload the trailer if they only add the heavy duty shocks. The shocks alone won't increase the capacity of the # Y08106 which is 250 lbs with the standard or heavy duty shocks. We don't have any direct reports of customers using these on...

  • Can the Yakima Heavy Duty Shocks be Used on a 66 inch Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer
    You can use the heavy duty shocks # Y08110 on a 66 inch rack and roll trailer part # Y08106, but the heavy duty shocks are not recommended to be used on the 66 inch trailer as-is. To use the HD shocks, the trailer needs to be upgraded to 78 inches with the # Y08111 kit.

  • Can Heavy Duty Shocks be Put on the 66 Inch Rack and Roll Trailer
    The heavy duty Rack and Roll shocks, part # Y08110, can only be used on 66 inch Rack and Roll if you upgrade it with the 78 inch crossmember kit. The crossmember kit is part # Y08111. The 66 inch trailer is rated up to 250 pounds so as long as you're under that capacity there really isn't a need to upgrade it. It would just give you some peace of mind.

  • Can 78 Inch Bars Be Used on Yakima 66 Inch Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106 without Conversion Kit
    I spoke with my contact at Yakima and although the Round 78 Inch CrossBars, # Y00411, will fit on the Yakima 66 Inch Rack and Roll Trailer, # Y08106, with out the Crossmember Conversion Kit, # Y08111, we can not recommend doing this. Since the Yakima 66 Inch Rack and Roll Trailer, # Y08106, was not designed for the longer bars, the center of gravity would be altered which would increase the chance of turning over the trailer.

  • Using Yakima Heavy Duty Shocks on Rack and Roll 66 Inch Trailer
    I also confirmed with my contact at Yakima that the Heavy Duty Shocks # Y08110 are not recommended for the 66 inch Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106. The shocks should only be used to upgrade the 78 inch trailer # Y08107. In order to use the Heavy Duty Shocks, the trailer will need to be upgraded to a 78 inch trailer by using the 78 Inch Crossmember Kit for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08111. This kit comes with the crossmembers and crossbars needed to upgrade a 66 inch trailer to a 78...

  • What Size Ball Is Needed For The Yakima Rack And Roll Trailer?
    The Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106 has a 2" coupler, so your ball mount will need a 2" ball like the Curt # 40038. At the stock set up, you will have 66" crossbars and 250 pounds of carrying capacity. This can be upgraded to 350 pounds by by adding the 78" crossmember kit # Y08111 and HD shocks # Y08110. You will not need to upgrade the ball to do this though.

  • Should Yakima Rock and Roll Trailer Upgrade to Heavy Duty Shocks
    While there isn't a life expectancy, per se, of the shocks on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 66" # Y08106 and 78" # Y08107, upgrading to the HD shocks is absolutely a good idea if your gear weighs around 200 llbs and certainly anything above that. The Heavy Duty Shocks for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08110 do increase the capacity of your trailer from 250 lbs to 350 lbs so if you need that extra capacity, the HD shocks are what you'll need. That said, if you are just in the 100...

  • Recommended Options for Carrying 3 Bikes - 2 Pedego E-Bikes and 1 Schwinn.
    I do have some great options for you, but since you are wanting to carry 2 E-Bikes and a Schwinn, the solution for a single bike carry is limited to the Yakima HoldUp 4 Bike Rack # Y02443-2. This really is a great bike rack that has a 200 lbs weight capacity, but the problem is that it is a wheel mount and from my research it looked like all of your bikes have fenders which will not allow the wheel mount to work properly. If none of your bikes have a fender and the vehicle you will be using...
