  • Can I Carry 2 Kayaks Without a Carrier on Malone AirFlow2 Crossbars
  • 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...

  • Plug and Play Wiring Needed For Redarc Tow Pro Liberty Brake Controller on a 2019 Subaru Ascent
  • To connect the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR to the factory port on your 2019 Subaru Ascent with the factory tow package you will need a Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3062-P and Redarc Tow-Pro Wiring Adapter for Tekonsha Brake Controller Harness # 331-TPH-017. Since Redarc does not make a harness for every vehicle they make the adapter for using with the more used Tekonsha pigtails.

  • Parts Needed to Install a 7-way on a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek For a Brake Controller
  • It sounds like you are needing a 7-way connector for your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek to tow a trailer with brakes. You are already on the right track with the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118467. You will want to install the # 118467 and then adapt that 4-way into a 7-way using the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 (the only way to get a 7-way is to install a 4-way and adapt it into a 7-way). You can then use the No-Drill Mount Bracket # 18136 to provide an attachment...

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for 2014 Subaru Impreza 5-Door Hatchback
  • As long as your 2014 Subaru Impreza isn't a WRX or WRX STi model (and it sounds like it isn't), the Curt # C11286 is the correct fit. If you DO have the WRX or WRX STi, you'd then need the # C11120. If you'll be doing some light duty towing, you'll also need the # 118573 for the non-WRX models or # 119250KIT for the WRX and WRX STi. You'll also need the # C45521 ball mount, the # PC2 hitch pin and for a trailer ball, part # A-80 for a 1-7/8 ball or # A-82 for a 2 inch ball.

  • Recommended Hidden Trailer Hitch/Trailer Wiring For A 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e25TR for your 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon. I like this trailer hitch over the others because it has a hidden cross tube with only the 2 inch receiver showing. So after installation it will give you Subaru an off the factory clean look.

  • Recommended Concealed Trailer Hitch/Wiring For A 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • Out of the hitches that we offer for your 2023 Subaru Outback Wagon I recommend The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e25TR.

  • Can I Use Two Left Hand Electric Brakes On A Single Axle Camper
  • When installing electric brakes onto your single axle camper you can not use 2 left brakes on one axle. You will need one Left # AKEBRK-35L and one Right # AKEBRK-35R. If one set of brake assemblies is on the wrong side of the axle, it will lead to diminished braking performance and premature brake wear. If you have any other questions please feel free to reach back out to me anytime and I will be more than happy to further assist you in your towing endeavors.

  • Is There a Light Kit for the Swagman XP Bike Rack?
  • 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. The harness I suggested is...

  • Recommended Solution for Trailer Wiring Harness for 2017 Subaru Outback Limited Wagon
  • Unless there is a factory tow package wiring plug available on the vehicle, there's not a way to add one after the fact. For that reason, I recommend using the Tekonsha T-One # 118467 to install the 4 way on your 2017 Subaru Outback Wagon; even though it will have the 4 way dangling out of your rear hatch when you're using it, it doesn't damage the harness and is the only available solution unless you were to cut a hole in the bottom of the vehicle. I've linked the installation of this...

  • License Plate Bracket Needed for 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier

If you plan on driving at night time you should make sure to have a bracket with a light like part # PM436B.

  • Bolt Size Used to Install 2" EcoHitch Trailer Hitch on a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek
  • The bolts that are used to install the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7365 on your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek are 1/2”-13 x 2” size grade 8 hex bolts. Please note that new hardware must be used each time a trailer hitch is installed as they are only made to be torqued once. Since you have a newer vehicle it is unlikely that you are transferring this trailer hitch but this is always good to note. If you let me know what you will be using the trailer hitch for I can make additional...

  • Brakes Needed for an Older Jayco Pop Up Turned Tear Camper
  • I do have some options for you but you will need to confirm the axle capacity or bearings and seal that your axle uses before choosing a kit. If you have 2K axles (which seems likely since the GVWR was 2,190 lbs) then you need 7" brakes like the etrailer.com Kit # AKEBRK-2. These pair up with the hub and drum assembly # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K which has the common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. This assembly uses inner and outer bearing # L44649 and the grease seal 10-9 which has an inner diameter...

  • What Tool Is Needed To Adjust Heavy Duty Shocks # Y08110 For a Yakima Rack & Roll Trailer?
  • You are correct that the Heavy Duty Shocks # Y08110 for Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer should be adjusted using a spanner wrench. While we do not carry this tool you should be able to find it at a local motorcycle parts store. The tools found at automotive stores are typically going to be larger than what you will need. A 38-42mm spanner wench is the size you will need.
