Video Transcript for Review of Performance Tool Nerf Bars - Running Boards - Tire Step - PT68ZR

Jeff: Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at this wheel step with the non-slip surface and a 300 pound weight capacity. Now, this wheel step will let you access any hard to reach places in your vehicle's engine, or roof. Zoom in here and you can see that the step itself has a nice galvanized metal cheese grater surface. Gives you incredible grip in even the best and worst conditions. And it is an open design, lets any mud, slush or debris pass through the step, doesn't build up on the step itself.

And as you can see, this demonstration we have on a tire, you can just install it right over the top of your tire and it supports your weight when you step on it, by bracing up against the tire itself.Now, it will fit any tire with a cross width of 13 inches or less. They do have adjustable pins right on here on each end that you can pull the clips, pull the pins out, and this will extend out. Right now, it's roughly about nine inches so it'll extend out even further to fit around a 13 inch maximum width tire. Also gives you a four position height adjustment, if you notice right on here. Same way there's a pin on the side and a pin on that side, if you pull the clip out, pull the pin out, it's got two holes here and then three holes on here.

So you can actually have four different height adjustments for the step itself.Few dimensions on the step, the length of it, one end to the other's right at about 21 and a half inches long. The width of just the step is about seven and a half inches wide. And again, the weight capacity is about 300 pounds. And what's nice about the step, you can see the step will fold up if he need it out of the way, but also when you remove it from your tire, if you notice, when you lift it up, you can let the back fold in and then it'll fold down on the step. So it actually folds into a nice compact size for easy storage.

And then when you go to use it, all you have to do, just open it up, take it, put it up against your tire, drop it over the top, level it, and you're all ready to go simple as that. But that should do it for the review on this wheel step with the non-slip surface and the 300 pound weight capacity..

by:

I have a 4WD Suburban and recently purchased a car top carrier. Problem was I couldn't load/unload it without a step ladder, and I didn't want to carry a step ladder around. I ordered the wheel step - problem solved. It works great and folds almost flat for storage. Great product!



by:

This is so handy! I once had to get something off my SUV roof and had to find a guardrail to stand on to reach what I wanted. This is so much easier and safer.



by:

Perfect for getting up to the topper rack on my lifted Ram 2500.



by:

Lowest step could be lower. I'm 70 years old and have all the old guy limitations. A lower first step would still give me access to the bed and engine compartment without having to lift my self on one leg to get up.



by:

This step is awesome. Flat for storage but gives me instant access to top of shell, windshield for cleaning and under hood.



by:

exactly what I wanted to reach into the bed of my RAM 3500 whole hooked up to my 5th wheel trailer. As always, etrailer came through expeditiously.

  • Will the Permance Tool Folding Wheel Step Fit 275/70R17 Tire Size
    So the Performance Tool Folding Wheel Step # PT68ZR will easily fit your tire size of 275/70-17 since that's much narrower than the max width of this rack. Your tire is less than 11 inches wide and the # PT68ZR will fit tires up to 13 inches. This does not go all the way over to the other side of the inner tire and basically just rests on the inner shoulder is how it is able to fit the narrower width.

  • Does Thule Pulse Cargo Box Fit Thule Aero Crossbars on 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Yes, the Thule Pulse Large Rooftop Cargo Box # TH615 will absolutely fit the AeroBlade Edge crossbars on your 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee and be the perfect way for you to securely carry your cargo. I did check with Thule to confirm this fit for you. The Pulse does come with everything you need to mount it to your crossbars and uses a clamping system like in the photo I added to tightly grip your crossbars. If you go to the 0:35 mark of the video I linked of this box being installed on a...

  • Recommended Cargo Box and Roof Rack for a 2003 Nissan Xterra
    If your 2003 Nissan Xterra has a factory rack that includes cross bars then the Thule Motion XT Cargo Box, item # TH629706, will work great on the roof of your vehicle. If your vehicle does not have factory cross bars you will need to install them. The Yakima Roof Rack for 2003 Nissan Xterra, item # Y00408, # Y03536, and # Y33TR would complete the roof rack for attachment of either of the above mentioned cargo boxes. You may want to consider the Tire Wheel Step item # PT68ZR, which is...

  • Will Performance Tool PT68ZR Tire Step Work with Dual Wheels
    The portion of the steel tube used on the # PT68ZR tire step that wraps around the rear of the tire is 13/16 of an inch wide, so as long as the gap between your inner and outer tire is wider than 13/16 of an inch, the # PT68ZR tire step will work with your dual wheels.

  • What Cargo Box for 2011 Honda CR-V Fits Without Interfering with Rear Hatch or Antenna
    The SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box, part # SR7018, is an 18 cubic-foot cargo box that will fit many types of factory and aftermarket crossbars as long as they have a spread of 25-7/8-, 27-7/8- or 29-7/8-inches. However, my contact at Sportrack could not confirm whether this box will clear your roof-mounted antenna. It is possible that this will need to be removed when the box is mounted. To make certain, I pulled a sample from our warehouse and took measurements of the rear mounting bracket...

  • Lock n Roll Tonneau Cover and Adarac Ladder Rack Compatibility For 2 Kayaks On A 2020 Silverado
    The Adarac Pro Series Ladder Rack # A4002965 has the rails sit over the stake pocket area of your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado's Bed Rails. Since the Lock N Roll Tonneau Cover doesn't cover up the stake pockets, it should fit on top of them. The rails will sit a little on top of your tonneau covers rails so it won't be completely flush but it will install. Now you can get two J-Style Kayak Carriers # e98878 so you can carry both of your kayaks. Our carrier is a very cost effective option,...

  • Bike Rack Options To Carry 4 Bicycles On My 2005 Volvo XC90
    The most amount of bikes you can carry with a trunk mounted bike rack on your 2005 Volvo XC90 is 3, as this is as much as your vehicle can handle safely. You would have to carry the other bike on the roof of your vehicle if you choose to use a trunk mounted bike rack. The item you selected, Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier, part # TH911XT, is compatible with your vehicle and would be a good option as it features anti-sway cradles. Another 3 bike trunk mounted bike rack I would recommend is...

    I reached out to my contact at Performance Tool and they confirmed the Folding Wheel Step - Tire Mount - 300 lbs, # PT68ZR will work with your 275R19.5 dually truck since the tire that you will use it on is less than 13 inches wide. It will only fit over the outside wheel, not both.

  • Fit Of The Thule Force XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box On 2013 GMC Acadia Factory Roof Rack
    The Thule Force XT XXL # TH6359B will fit most factory crossbars. It does require crossbars to be a maximum of 3-1/2 inches wide and maximum of 1-11/16 inches tall. The crossbar spread from center to center needs to be between 23-5/8 inch center to center and 37-1/2 inches. The clearance of your rear antenna depends on your roof rack itself. The Thule Force XXL will sit about flush with your factory crossbars so if your crossbars are higher than your antenna, you won't have an issue....

  • Will the Thule Roof Basket # TH859XT Fit on a 2010 Honda CRV with Factory Roof Rack
    The Thule Roof Mounted Cargo Basket, item # TH859XT is a good choice. It is large, and has an included fairing that makes it aerodynamic. The Thule model will fit crossbars that are between 20 inches and 37 inches apart. There is an extension available for the rack should the space be required. For the Thule Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Extension, item # TH8591XT, will extend the carrier 20 inches. I would also recommend the Wheel Step - Tire Mount, item # PT68ZR, with either of these...

  • Will the SportRack Roof Cargo Carrier # SR7018 fit on a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe w/Navigation Antenna
    I went out to the warehouse and checked on the Sport Rack Vista XL Cargo Box, item # SR7018, the length of the box is 63 inches long. The box will mount on cross bars that are between 24 and 34 inches apart. So you will need to do some measuring to determine if your roof mounted antenna can be retained while using the cargo box. Install the first cross bar as far forward on the vehicle roof as possible. Then measure from the center of the cross bar back to the antenna on the vehicle. ...

  • Easier Way to Access Fifth Wheel Hitch on Flatbed Truck
    There is no extension for a fifth wheel hitch handle to let you access it from a distance. The best solution for you would be to use something like the Wheel Step # PT68ZR, assuming your flatbed does not jut out over the tires too significantly. Otherwise, a simple step stool such as # TE97FR is your best option.

  • Is a Thule Stacker 2 Appropriate to Carry 4 Kayaks on a 2011 Ford Expedition with Factory Roof Rack
    I agree that the Thule Stacker Rooftop Kayak carrier # TH830 would be the best option for carrying 4 kayaks on your 2011 Ford Expedition. Please note that this carrier is not recommended if the kayaks you intend to purchase are longer than 10 feet, and it is not intended for use with ocean style kayaks, which are much wider. I have confirmed with my technical contact at Thule and the Stacker 2 will work with factory cross bars that are up to 3 inches wide. Please note that the minimum...

  • Fit of SportRack Vista XL Roof Mount Cargo Box on 2011 Honda CRV
    The SportRack Vista XL Roof Mounted Cargo Box attaches to the factory crossbars using the supplied U-bolts. The U-bolts will accommodate cross bars up to 3-3/4 inches in diameter. The factory crossbars will also need to be 25-7/8, 27-7/8, or 29-7/8 inches apart. I would not recommend using any other method of attachment than the U-bolts supplied by the manufacturer. You should also consult your owner's manual to determine the weight capacity of the roof rack on your CRV. You might also...

  • Roof Basket Recommendation For 2009 Chevrolet Suburban
    The Surco Safari Rack, part # SPS5084-1101, will fit on your roof rack. This basket measures 84 in long by 50 in wide by 5 in deep, is made of sturdy aluminum, and weighs approximately 40 lbs. This basket comes with the adapters that clamp around the factory raised rails. I also recommend a tire step like part # PT68ZR. This easily slips over the wheel of your vehicle and allows you to reach the cargo on your roof. It also folds flat for easy storage.

  • Could Thule Cargo Bag be Used in 2016 Chevy Traverse LTZ with Thule Cargo Basket
    In terms of the capacity of the Thule bag part # TH868 and it being able to transport 5 bags of clothes that will depend largely on the size of the bags. The bag has a 13 cubic foot storage space and is 36 inches long by 36 inches deep with a height of up to 17 inches. That's pretty big and SHOULD work well, but you would need to compare that to the dimensions of the bags you plan to carry. The clothes should be weather protected well too since you plan to use plastic bags to further waterproof...

  • Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform Rack and Folding Ladder for 2018 Ford Expedition
    There is a way to add a Rhino Rack Platform to your 2018 Ford Expedition but there is not one that attaches directly to your vehicle. If your Expedition has factory installed rails that run front to back you can add a roof rack, the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar # JB0190. From there you can add the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform # RR42115BF which is a universal mount that will attach to your Expedition's roof rack.

  • Cargo Box Recommendation for a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox with Factory Roof Rack
    Yes, either of the Boxes you have mentioned will fit on the factory Cross bars on your 2011 Chevrolet Equinox, with not additional hardware required. I would recommend going with the Thule Pulse Large Roof Box, # TH614, because the claw style mounting hardware makes installation and removal of the box much easier. For your Equinox you may want to consider the Folding Tire Wheel Step, # PT68ZR, to make installation, removal and loading of the cargo box much easier.

  • Recommended Trike Rack for a 2019 Lincoln MKC
    I have a great option for you to transport your JC26X tadpole-style recumbent trike, but I do not recommend using the Softride Hang2 2-Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SR27041. Setting aside the potential issue of ground clearance hitch height with your hitch, the Softride Hang2 requires front handlebars to mount to the clamps at the top. Since we have not fitted a recumbent-style bike on the clamps there is no way to confirm whether the clamps will adequately secure at any point of...

    Yes, the Thule Roof Mounted Cargo Bag, item # TH868, will work nicely on your 2011 Subaru Outback with factory roof rack. You should check your owners manual for the capacity of your roof rack and stay within that limitation. Another recommendation is to clean the roof and the bottom of the bag before installation. This will reduce the possibility of damage to the vehicle roof when carrying the bag. You may also be interested in the Tire-mounted folding wheel step Item # PT68ZR, to make...

To carry up to 4 kayaks, I recommend the Thule The Stacker - Rooftop Multi-Kayak Carrier # TH830. This comes with straps for 2 kayaks, but you will want additional tie-downs for 4 kayaks.
