• What do Roof Rack Feet do for Inno Roof Rack on 2010 Pontiac Vibe With Naked Roof
• It sounds like you are asking the purpose of the "feet" of the Inno roof rack that fits your 2010 Pontiac Vibe. What the feet do is act as a base for the crossbars, and an attachment point for the fit kit. So what you will do is attach the fit kit to the feet, with the fit kit being what allows the rack to clamp to your door sills; then the crossbars will attach to the feet. Essentially, the feet of a roof rack act as something of an anchor for the crossbars so you can mount them. The...

• Can 12 Inch, 7,000 lb Electric Trailer Brake Kit Work on Vehicle With 24 Volt System
• Though I'm not quite sure what you are referring to in regards to a misunderstanding, your truck with a 24 volt system is compatible with 12 volt electric brakes, the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 7,000 lbs # 23-180-181. The power to the brakes will actually come via the brake controller, so you will need to wire your brake controller a bit differently in order to get working brakes. I have added a link below to a help article on how to do this,...

• Cause of Uneven Wear on Inside Edge of Tire Tread
• Typically, when a trailer tire gets excessive wear on the inside of the tread it's because the trailer is overloaded. Trailer axles are designed with an upward arch to them, so the tire tread contact patch sits square to the pavement when the trailer is loaded. if it's overloaded, the axle tube will flex excessively which puts the inside edge of the tire tread in contact with the pavement which would certainly lead to the uneven wear you've described. If you haven't done so lately, I'd...

• Weight Capacity of Stromberg Carlson VG-15-100 5th Wheel Tailgate
• Stromberg Carlson states that the weight capacity of the # VG-15-100 fifth wheel tailgate is 100 lbs, so I wouldn't recommend using it to load a golf cart. The tailgate is very easy to remove and reinstall, so I'd recommend removing the tailgate while loading and unloading. You can see a product demonstration video featuring the # VG-15-100 tailgate.

• Can Small Boat Trailer Be Towed By 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Using Bumper Mounted Trailer Ball
• That's a great question. Your Explorer Sport Trac is equipped with a towing bumper, with a 3500 lb capacity. If the rear bumper height is such that it's pretty close to the height of your trailer's coupler when it's jacked up and level, then by all means get you a trailer ball with the proper diameter shank to fit the hole in the bumper (likely 1 inch) and ball size (likely 1-7/8) and tow that boat and trailer. If the hole diameter is 1 inch, you can use # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or...

• Does Dexter Over-Under Conversion Kit Include Spring Plates with Shock Mounts
• An over/under kit like the Dexter # K71-384-00 is designed for a 3500 lb axle with a 2-3/8 inch axle tube. By moving the leaf springs atop the axle tube, you'll gain the diameter of the axle trube plus the thickness of the spring pack as a height increase. The kit contains no provision for mounting shock absorbers and unfortunately, we don't offer mounts for that. We do offer a Lippert Bolt-On shock kit like # LC281255 that includes the spring plates you describe, but Lippert doesn't...

• Best Bike Rack That Can Carry 2 Or 4 Bikes
• There is a 2 Bike version of the Saris Freedom 4 # SA4412B and I've included a video of me using it! You can either get the 2 bike version or the 4 bike version, one cannot convert into the other. If you're looking to have a 2 bike rack that can turn into a 4 bike rack I would recommend getting the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA12B and get the 2 bike add on # BA02B if you wanted to carry 4 bikes! The add-on can be taken off just as easy as it was put on so your not stuck with only a 2 or 4 bike...

• Do Trailer Tires Need to be the Same on Small Trailer
• It is highly recommended that you have the same tires on your trailer and the reason is that tires with different load ranges will almost certainly have a different tire pressure, or can even be a different size. For example, your trailer may have a Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 4.80-12 - Load Range C # AM10062 which has a 990 lb load capacity when inflated to its max 90 psi, and a Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C # TT53012C which has a 1,050 lb capacity when inflated...

• Tool used to Remove the Rivets that Hold the Taillight Assembly on a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan
• That handy-dandy tool you see in the videos is a trim panel tool. We have # PT73HJ as an option that you could use. I advise against using vice grips as it will tear up the pins. You could use a smaller claw hammer if available. A very small pry bar (crow bar) could work as well. I suppose you could wedge two spoons under it and pry it out that way. Depending on how tight they are you might bend the spoons. If you had a very flat wrench it might work the same as the trim panel tool.

• Do I Have to Pull My Slide-outs in When Greasing my 5th Wheel Trailers Axle/Bearings
• When using a grease gun like the # L30200 and grease like the # L11390 to grease the axle/bearings on your 5th wheel you technically don't have to pull your slide-outs in. But, I highly recommend that you do. You are going to have jack your 5th wheel trailer up to be able to spin the hubs as needed when greasing. Having your slides out is going to change the balance of your trailer and the risk of the 5th wheel trailer falling is not one that I would take.

• Why no Check Valve on 2014 Grand Cherokee Diesel For Demco SBS Reinstall Kit for Stay-IN-Play DUO
• It is likely you do not require the check valve on your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel with the Demco SBS Reinstall Kit for Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM6270 due to diesels often having hyrdoboost brakes and not vacuum assist brakes. You'll need to verify you have hydroboost, but that is very common on diesel vehicles.
