I have good news for you! You don't need to get new towers to add locks to your roof rack; the Ridgeline towers accept locks from the Yakima SKS system but they're not included with the towers. You can use the Yakima SKS Lock Cores # Y07204 on your Yakima Ridgeline Towers # Y00145. The SKS Lock Cores come in a package of 4, so you'll have enough cores to add to each of your Ridgeline towers and keep everything secure using a single key. If you have more Yakima products that require cores... view full answer...
I can't say that it's not possible, because with enough tie down straps, I've seen plenty of people do worse. However, it's not something I would advise you to do because you're not going to be able to properly stabilize the boats on their sides without a carrier.
The very least thing I would recommend using with the Malone AirFlow 2 # MPG216 is a setup like the Malone Stax Pro2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Post Style - Folding - 2 Kayaks # MPG115MD. The Stax Pro2 gives you a post style... view full answer...
I have a solution for you, but even with the 20" Extension # TH8591XT added to the Thule Canyon # TH859XT, the Canyon is only going to be 69" long and I can't imagine that you'd be able to fit a full sized paddleboard inside it. Additionally, the Thule SUP Taxi # TH810001 is not designed to fit on the bars of the Thule Canyon securely so that's not really an option.
With that said, both the Canyon and SUP Taxi can be easily installed and removed as needed, so you can just remove the Canyon... view full answer...
I have a few different solutions for transporting your Laser sailboat with your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon; the first is with the roof rack you mentioned, but in all honesty that makes me a bit nervous so I'm going to recommend a trailer option as well.
Roof Rack Parts
- 60" JetStream Crossbars # Y00426
- SkyLine Towers # Y53TR
- Landing Pad 15 # Y00241

To install a brake controller on your Subaru Outback wagon, you'll first need to install a functioning 4-pole connector, using part # 118461, unless your Outback wagon is the Sport model. The connector is located behind the access panel behind the drivers side taillight assembly. If you have the Sport model, you'll need to use the # C59236 hardwire kit that would wire directly into the wiring harnesses feeding the taillight assemblies.
With the 4-pole installed, you'll also need the #... view full answer...
You can indeed use the factory provided fixed points in the side rails to mount aftermarket crossbars. The actual rack needed will depend on whether or not you have the touring model.
If you have the touring model and have flush mounted rails running front to back, you can use the Thule Roof rack made of of the following parts: # TH711220, # TH710601, and # TH186047.
If you DO NOT have the touring model, I recommend the roof rack made of parts # TH7601-TH7601, and # THKIT4063.

It sounds like you're looking for a longer ball mount for a 1-1/4" hitch receiver installed on your 2018 Subaru Outback. The longest available ball mount for a 1-1/4" hitch is the Curt Class II Drawbar - 3-7/8" Rise - 13-1/2" Long - 3,500 lbs # C45000, which is 13-1/2" long and will fit a hitch ball with a 3/4" diameter; hitch pin hole size is typically standard depending on the receiver size and a 1-1/4" receiver typically has a 1/2" hitch pin hole. This ball mount does have a 3-7/8" rise... view full answer...
It sounds like the trailer you're towing from Uhaul has a coupler height of 18-1/2" to 18-3/4", which is likely what they're referring to when they're talking about optimal height. There are a lot of factors that affect the height of the hitch on your vehicle in relation to the ground but typically we've found that when the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 76227 sits 15-16" from the top of the receiver to the ground.

When using The FloTool RhinoRamps Vehicle Ramp Set # FT11909MI, The car should be in park when you're on top of the ramps. You will need to double check the vehicle's position and make sure everything is aligned so the ramps can support the vehicle's weight.

While we do not have the replacement locking knob you're needing for your ARKSEN bike rack we do have a wide variety of replacement bolts that we can help you with.
With your old bolt being a M8 x 15mm metric bolt, you're going to need to swap it over to SAE as we do not have a corresponding replacement. To do this, you're going to need the Replacement Hex Bolt for Dexter Model 6 Actuators # T1781500.
This bolt is 5/16" x 1/2" which is going to be the closet we carry to what you currently... view full answer...
The 4-way that is already on your 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon will work just fine for what you need to do. In order for the brakes on the trailer to activate properly along with the lights you need to have a fully functional 7-way (not just an adapter) and a brake controller.
To get that fully functional 7-way, you will actually just adapt your current 4-way using the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7. I also recommend picking up the No-Drill Mount Bracket # 18136, which provides a mounting... view full answer...
For a crossbar system that will fit on your raised rails on your 2021 Subaru Outback Wagon and accommodate the Thule Hullavator # TH898 is the Malone AirFlow2 # MPG216. This is a great economic option that does not sacrifice quality. With the AirFlow2 crossbars, you will be able to transport up to 165 pounds of cargo on your roof (as long as this does not exceed the weight rating of your 2021 Subaru Outback). If you need to know the weight capacity of your roof, I recommend consulting your... view full answer...
We actually carry the spare tire that fits the Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G. The spare is # MPG465 and does have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern.
With that being said it would be more cost effective for you to purchase two 4.80-12 trailer tires, like # TTWSF48012C, and have them mounted to the existing rims. If you need valve stems, # AM20904 will handle the 80 psi needed for these tires. I recommend these Taskmasters because they have an 81 mph speed rating, which is higher than a... view full answer...
For rubber tensioners/adjusters that work with the Glacial Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW1042 for your 225/65-17 tires on your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon, the Glacier Multi-Arm Rubber Adjusters - Light-Truck Chains - 15" to 18" Rims # PW105 is the part you need. These chains will make the installation process of the cables much easier.
As always with snow tire chains/cables, I recommend consulting with your vehicle's owner's manual to see if there are any additional safety guidelines and tips. view full answer...
The Thule Roof Rack system for your 2017 Subaru Outback Touring Edition that uses the Evo Flush Rail Feet # TH710601 and WingBar Evo # TH711200 comes with very simple plastic "locks" that are meant to be inserted into the lock slots as place holders, but they're not actual locks that will deter theft. The good news is that there are locks available to be used in their place that are strong and will do a great job of protecting everything. The locks on the Evo Flush Rail Feet are designed... view full answer...
Yes, there are side rails available for the Thule Caprock Platform Roof Tray # TH48YE.
The rails can be found as part # TH63YE for the 59" x 65" platform you're looking at, and they sit at the four side but leave the corners open so you have some flexibility when it comes to the cargo you put on the rack. view full answer...
Because your 2021 Subaru Outback has a 4 way flat already installed, all you'll need is the # ETBC7 for a 7-way and the Curt Wiring Adapter # C51515.
With that you'll be able to complete the installation of the Curt Discovery Brake Controller # C84VV. view full answer...
Since the Swagman XP # S64960 is made of steel, you can attach magnetic lights to the carrier. For this route, I recommend the Peterson Magnetic Tow Lights - Red # PE26UR. The Peterson lights serve as running lights, brake lights, and turn signals on your bike rack. For installation, the wires will install right into the four-way wiring harness on your 2017 Subaru Outback. If you need a harness, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56040.

To reduce sway of your roof-mounted tandem bike I suggest a set of ratcheting tie-down straps that can be secured to the bike and to the two raised side rails on your Outback. We offer a range of these items such as the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps # EM34415.
This 2-piece set of tie-downs features push-button automatic retraction of the 10-foot straps and a safe working load limit of 400-lbs, more than enough to secure your tandem bike. These will offer better performance than... view full answer...
If your trailer has stop and turn functions on separate lights (separate amber lights for the turns) you will need a vehicle-to-vehicle taillight converter harness for your Subaru that can separate the stop and turn functions. These functions are combined on a 4-pole flat connector. If this is the case you will need to fabricate your own custom harness from several components we can supply.
First you will need a trailer-side 4-pole flat connector to mate with the Subaru 4-pole. You can... view full answer...
