  • Can I Put a 49-lbs Cruiser Bike on the Saris Guardian Trunk Mounted Bike Rack
  • I may have a solution for you, but the Saris Guardian 2 # SA93FR has a 35-lbs per bike capacity, so the total capacity isn't really as important as the single bike capacity. In this case, your 49-lbs cruiser bike would not be able to be safely carried on this rack since it is higher than the recommended capacity for a single bike; the weight capacity of the Saris Guardain is partially controlled by the cradles and the securing straps, so it's going to be limited. There are also no trunk...

  • Replace Dual Trailer Wheel Recommendation w 8 on 6-1/2 in Bolt Pattern and 4.75 in Pilot Diameter
  • The Lionshead Steel Dual Wheel - 16" x 6" - 8 on 6-1/2 Silver # LHHA420 will fit your bolt pattern and has a 4.75 inch pilot hole so it will match in that regard as well. Based on that these wheels would work well for you. Then for a tire the # TTWPRG235R16 would be a great option. This a Load Range G tire in the size of ST235/85R16. Unlike most trailer tires this one has a speed rating of 81 mph.

  • Recommended Flat Towing Setup for a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited
  • The SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System # SM99243 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. You will still need a brake light relay kit # RM-88400 to activate the signal lights and wiring kit like the Roadmaster # RM-154. Or, the TrailerMate wiring kit # TM781118 you referenced is compatible with the SMI Air Force One # SM99202 but not the SMI Stay and Play Duo # SM99251. You may need a stop light switch kit # SM99629, which is designed to...

  • Compatibility of Bike Rack with RockyMounts SplitRail 2 Bike Platform Rack
  • The RockyMounts SplitRail LS 2 Bike Platform Rack RKY11404 you asked from does have the ability to expand for more bikes when you use the 1 Bike Add-On # RKY1150. You can add up to 2 add ons for a total of 4 bikes. You cannot add any other bike rack to the SplitRail. You can only use the SplitRail 1 bike add on to expand this rack.

  • Recommended Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution Hitch for 1030-lbs Tongue Weight Trailer
  • Yes! Typically you're looking for a weight distribution system where your tongue weight falls towards the lower end of the tongue weight range of your chosen weight distribution hitch. Because the Equal-i-zer # EQ37140ET has a range of 1,000 to 1,400-lbs, your 1030-lbs tongue weight is in that Goldilocks area that you're looking for, so it will be a great choice for your trailer. This weight distribution system comes with all of the hardware and parts you'll need to get it installed and...

  • Does Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BLU93FR Fit 2018 Chevy Colorado 4WD
  • Yes the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BLU93FR that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Chevy Colorado 4WD and we can install it. We are located near St. Louis, MO. Then for a tow bar the Blue Ox Avail part # BX7420 would be a really excellent option. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the...

  • Rails and Brackets for Installing Hijacker FWH 24 in a 2018 Chev Silverado 3500HD
  • Your Demco Hijacker fwh 24pa is the older style of fifth wheel hitch from Demco that uses an older unique rail design. The rails needed for it are the part # DM6071 and then for the bracket kit for your 2018 Chevy Silverado you'd want the part # DM8552011 and you'd be set. For a 7-way to install in the bed of your truck to make connecting your trailer lights easier you would want the part # 41157. Most 7-ways will be at the rear of the truck near the bumper which doesn't work will with...

  • Gooseneck to 5TH Wheel Adapter using Reese/Draw-Tite Gooseneck Hitch
  • I have a solution as your Draw-Tite Gooseneck # 9468-94 will not allow for a 5th Wheel Adapter. The 5th wheel adapters such as # C16210 require a locking pin that is slid through the hitch and that is something the Reese/Draw-Tite does not have. I recommend using the Demco Recon #DM8550045. This 5th Wheel hitch will drop onto your gooseneck ball and clamp to it. It is capable of towing 5th wheels up to 21,000lbs and pin weights of 4,000lbs. Please ensure you do not exceed the maximum...

  • Installing Rubber Strip on Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars
  • The top rubber strips on the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars like the 53" # TH711400 you were looking at are a bit different in design compared to the older AeroBar models. Out of the box you'll have a strip of rubber that likely needs to be cut (simply matching its length to the crossbar's). Once you have the needed length, you will actually pull apart the strip down the middle, separating them into two narrower strips. Then it's simply a matter of pressing them down into the crossbar channel,...

  • Platform Bike Rack Recommendation to Clear Spare Tire Mounted on a Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier
  • Great question, David! The Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack # Y47VR requires at least 8-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest part of the spare tire in order for it to fit properly. The center of the hitch pin hole on the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 is about 5-5/8" behind the face of the mounting plate for your spare tire which means your tire can't sit more than 2-7/8" out from the mounting plate in order for you to be able to use the StageTwo. For an alternative...

  • Tongue Weight Capacity of Trailer Valet MV PRO Trailer Dolly
  • Good question Larry, and the Trailer Valet MV PRO Trailer Dolly # TV96FR can handle a lot of tongue weight - 1,200 lbs to be exact. That's going to be enough for the large majority of trailers out there.

  • Does The Band/Clamp on a Double Eye Leaf Spring Indicate a Direction Needing to Be Mounted?
  • The position of the band or clamp used on a leaf spring like the 4-Leaf # e54SR has no set direction. This component is simply used to prevent the leaves inside the spring from turning on themselves. You can put it whichever way you wish as there is not a front or rear on this type of spring either.

  • Replacement Options For A Lippert Better Bath RV Bar Sink LC344157
  • Hi Tony, The Better Bath RV Bar Sink LC344157 unfortunately is no longer available per Lippert and with it's unique design we don't currently have a direct replacement option. That being said, you could possibly trim the cutout hole a bit larger to accept a different style sink. What are the dimensions of the current cutout hole and could you possibly send a picture?

  • Does a 2019 Toyota Highlander V6 Come with the Factory Tow Package
  • Hey Floyd, great question! According to my research I do believe all of the 2019 Toyota Highlanders equipped with a V6 also have the tow package so the Curt T-Connector # 56042 would be the wiring harness you need. Toyota doesn't make it easy online to figure out what models do come with the tow package though so I recommend confirming this on your end as well. You can either remove the trim in the back of your Highlander to see if the large white plug has the OEM connector or not (see...

  • Baseplate Compatibility For A 2021 Jeep Gladiator With A Bulldog JL Winch Mount # 341
  • Hi Aaron, The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 you were wanting to install is going to mount in the same space as the winch mount so you'd have to either modify how the winch attaches to the frame in order to mount both. The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM77VR mounts to the outside of the frame and shouldn't interfere with how the winch plate mounts, but the crosstube could pose an issue since it sits below the the frame rails where the winch plate would....

  • Using TPMS Flow Through Sensors And Valve Extenders On A 2024 Ford F-450
  • Hi John, TST Flow Through Sensors # TST-507-FT-S2 are approximately 2-1/8" long so they do add a bit to the overall length of the coming from the valve. TST likely told you that the sensor has to be directly after the valve to avoid any movement with the sensor that could damage it or the valve and to help prevent any false readings. With valve extenders like the Wheel Masters # WM8001-135 you'll be able to tuck the excess cable up since you'd be mounting the end of the extender to the...

  • Will 2-in-1- Cover Fit a Chariot Cougar 2
  • I don't know the dimensions of the Replacement 2-in-1 Weather Cover for Thule Cheetah XT Bike Trailer and Stroller # TH46QH off hand but what I can say is that Thule stroller products are very fit specific and according to my research this won't fit your Chariot Cougar 2. When I looked into this on the Thule site it looks like there isn't too much available for your stroller still, and my contact at Thule said the correct part would be 20100785 for a single stroller or part 20100786 for...
