  • Required Bike Rack Stabilizing Strap For CURT Hitch # 11510 on a 2011 Infiniti EX-35
  • The strap you will need is the CURT bike rack strap with cambuckle, part # 18050. CURT requires using a stabilizing strap with any hitch mounted bike rack or hitch accessories. The strap acts as a precaution to reduce jarring and torque applied to the hitch from the weight of the bike rack and bicycles. Since the CURT hitch # 11510 is a Class I model, you will need to make sure your bike rack is compatible with Class I hitches. You will also be limited to carrying 2 bikes.

  • Parts Needed to Install Prodigy P2 Brake Controller in 2011 Infiniti QX56

  • Prodigy Brake Controller Installation in 2015 Infiniti QX60
  • Since there can be many connectors under a vehicle dash, I suggest you test the connector you've found to confirm it is indeed for a brake controller. A brake controller port will have four wires/contacts and one of these will carry 12V at all times, and another will carry a signal ONLY when you press the brake pedal. The other two pins should not carry any signal at all. You'll need a tester like # PTW2993 to test the pins. If this is indeed a brake controller connection port then you...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2011 Infiniti G37 Compatible with Yakima ForkLift
  • You are correct that the Yakima ForkLift # Y02098 will fit on most crossbars, so you won't be limited to any particular bar style, but there are some advantages of using aero style bars including the reduction of wind noise during travel. If you're planning on driving any distances with your bike, the wind noise can be a bit annoying, but using a roof rack with more aerodynamic bars can help reduce that quite a bit. For this reason I recommend using the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked...

  • How to Use a Bike Rack for a 2 Inch Hitch Receiver on a 2017 Infiniti QX50 with 1-1/4 Inch Receiver
  • Currently, the only hitch available for your 2017 Infiniti QX50 is the Curt # C11510 which is a Class I, 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver. Depending on how much weight you're putting on the hitch (Weight of your bike plus your bike rack) you may be able to use an expander. The Tow Ready # 80303 will adapt the 1-1/4 inch hitch to a 2 inch hitch. However, using the adapter will drop your tongue weight by 50 percent. You should know that Curt requires the use of a support strap, # 18050, to be...

  • Is Taillight Converter Needed for 2002 Infiniti I35
  • There are two reasons why a wiring converter like the # 119178KIT would be used on a given vehicle. If the tow vehicle uses a three wire system like your I35, with separate bulbs for the turn signals, and brake/running lights, a converter is used to combine the brake lamps and turn signals onto the same circuit. A vehicle that has a 3 wire system is also referred to as having a 'separate' taillight set-up. A two wire system that has the brake lamp and turn signals combined onto one circuit...

  • Roof Rack Crossbar Spreads for a 2017 Infiniti QX80
  • Each roof rack for your 2017 Infiniti QX80 will have its own specific crossbar spread that works best with your QX80. The range of crossbar spreads from the roof racks that we carry are from 45" to 47" from the middle of the front to the middle of the back crossbar. If you don't already have a roof rack on your QX80 I highly recommend going with the Thule WingBar Evo system. This option consists of the 60" WingBar Evo Crossbars, part # TH711500 for Silver or part # TH711520 for Black,...

  • Parts Needed to Mount Ski and Snowboard Carrier on 2009 Infiniti G37x
  • In order to carry skis or snowboards using a rack like the Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier - 6 Skis or 4 Boards - Black # TH7326B, you will need a roof rack system since these do not mount to naked roofs. If you've got a factory roof rack system, the # TH7326B, # TH7325 and Kuat Switch 4 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - 4 Pairs of Skis or 2 Boards # KU94FR are designed to fit on factory roof rack crossbars, so they would all work without any additional parts. If you don't have a roof...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2016 Infiniti Q50
  • When it comes to installing a trailer hitch on your 2016 Infiniti Q50 the main difference between the sport model and non sport model is how the trailer mounts underneath the vehicle. The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4 inch # 24931 works on both sport and non sport models because of how the hitch was made, and how it bolts up to the frame of your vehicle. The trailer hitch has a concealed cross tube which will give your vehicle a sleeker look...

  • Replacement Hardware Kit For Curt Hitch # 13554 On A 2009 Infiniti FX35
  • Unfortunately, The Replacement Hardware Kit # RHK will not include the bracket that appears in the image for Curt Hitch # 13554. I contacted Curt and they do not sell the bracket alone.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and Other Parts to Tow a Trailer with a 2016 Infiniti QX50
  • We do have the parts to carry a bike rack and tow a trailer that fit your 2016 Infiniti QX50. However, if Infiniti says you can't do one or the other then I can't recommend against them. They're the ones that determine the capabilities of your vehicle and will also be the ones deciding whether you were compliant with their warranty guidelines in the event there's an issue later on. The hitch receiver we carry that fits your Infiniti whether you have 2-wheel or all-wheel drive is the...

  • Why is Support Strap Required with Curt Trailer Hitch Receivers
  • Curt requires the Support Strap # 18050 with a number of their hitch receivers like # C11407. The strap isn't required when towing a trailer but only when carrying something like a bike rack or cargo carrier. It's required in order to be compliant with the hitch's warranty because Curt wants the added support when the complete weight of the accessory is on the hitch. The strap is required for you to carry a bike rack on your vehicle. The Draw-Tite Hitch Receiver # 24931 does not require...

  • Complete Trailer Towing Setup for 2018 Infiniti QX60
  • Congrats on winning the trailer! Even though your teardrop is small and light I still recommend the higher-capacity hitch option from Draw-Tite, part # 76031, since it offers an easier installation than the lower-rated Curt model # C13126. Extra capacity translates into more safety margin, which is always a good thing in towing applications. I linked the written instructions along with a complete install video to show you how the hitch bolts on and the included photo shows the nice clean...

  • What Length Thule Crossbars for 2017 Infiniti QX80 with Factory Raised Side Rails
  • Typically a 2017 Infiniti QX80 will use a 60" long crossbar like the # TH711500. The Wingbar Evo can be used with the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401, which will attach to the raised side rails of newer Infiniti QX80's. 60" long bars would likely be the longest bars that you can safely use, as the next longest size available are 79" long, so your best bet is likely going to be those 60" Aero bars. You generally want your crossbars not extend no more than 6" outside of the side rails, and...

  • Roof Rack to Carry a Thule Hullavator on a 2013 Infiniti JX35
  • From my research the 2013 Infiniti JX35 has the options of a complete roof rack or a roof that has small flush rails along each side of the roof, which is what it sounds like you have. All of the roof racks we carry for your roof style use clamps to the sides of the roof. I recommend the Rhino-Rack crossbars, part # RRVA137B-2. Then use legs # RRRLKVA and fit kit # DK339. These are nice aerodynamic crossbars to help eliminate wind noise. They'll also work well with the Thule Hullavator...
