  • Will SportRack Cargo Box SR7011 Fit Factory Crossbars On 2016 Subaru Forester
  • Yes, the SportRack # SR7011 will fit the OEM crossbars and factory rails on your 2016 Subaru Forester, as it's designed to fit most factory crossbars. However this box is pretty long so it's possible you'll need to position it forward to allow you to open up the rear hatch, and even then they may hit. Similar length boxes require a gap of 12" or so from the rear crossbar to the hatch/roof gap for clearance, so if you can get that much space or more you should be ok. Sportrack doesn't give...

  • Two Kayak Carrier Recommendation that Fits 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon Factory Crossbars
  • For two of the LockRack kayak carriers to fit next to each other you'd need crossbars with around 60 inches of usable length which I am fairly certain your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon would not have. I'd recommend a carrier designed for carrying two kayaks like the Thule Compass # TH890000 which fits your vehicle's bars and does a really great job carrying 2 kayaks. I attached a review video for more info on this as well.

  • Recommended Roof Top Cargo Box for my 2021 Subaru Crosstrek
  • The SportRack Horizon Rooftop Cargo Box part # SR7011 will fit the bill for you perfectly. It has a shorter rear than most allowing you to fully open your hatch and it will not interfere with your moon roofs operation. I have linked a video for you on the box for you to check out that Evangaline did that will give you a great idea on the size.

  • Dual Hitch Receiver Recommendation for a Bike Rack and Tow Dolly
  • For your application I recommend using the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount # 325-GH-304 because it's one of the few options that allow you to use a bike rack and tow dolly (most of them are for a bike rack and flat towing). The Gen-Y has stacked receivers so you can have your bike rack installed in the highest position (with the receivers stacked going up from the shank) and then you can attach a ball mount or use the Dual-Ball # 325-GH-031 for the tow dolly.

  • Replacing Factory Hitch on 2018 Subaru Outback with Curt Hitch
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13410 is a great option for a 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon. It has a 4,000 lb gross trailer weight and 600 lb tongue weight rating. The trailer hitch is tested separately of the vehicle so this does not mean you can abide by these capacities, the lower of the two (vehicle/hitch) will be what you need to abide by. It could very well provide more capacity than the factory hitch but you still may not be able to utilize the full capacity due to the vehicle...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch & 7-Way Wiring For 2017 Subaru Outback
  • Okay, there's a lot to go over here, so let's get right to it with the best option for a hitch and 7-way for a 2017 Subaru Outback for you to tow your trailer. We'll start with the hitch: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13410 The reason I really like this hitch is because unlike other options, it does not require any drilling into the frame of your '17 Outback, and because it has a completely hidden design with only the hitch receiver showing. This hitch has 6,000 lb towing/400 lb tongue...

  • Trailer Hitch and Towing Equipment Recommendation for 2017 Subaru Outback
  • The Curt Class III hitch you'd looked at, part # C13206 is a great choice and will work very well as a mounting point for hitch mounted accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers, as well as providing a towing capacity of up to 4000 lbs which would be limited to the 2700 lb towing capacity of the vehicle itself. To complete your set-up, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness, part # 118467, a ball mount like # AMSC2 and a trailer ball. For a 1-7/8 inch ball, use # 19260 or # 63845...

  • Vehicle Wiring Harness for Trailer Connection on a 1998 Subaru Legacy
  • I recommend using the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT to install a 4-way flat trailer plug on your 1998 Subaru Legacy. This wiring harness will use sensors that will clamp over the factory taillight wiring. These sensors mean that you will not have to splice and risk overloading the wiring in your vehicle. The kit also includes a in line fuse to protect the system from overheating. There is not currently a plug in wiring connection available for your Legacy.

  • Recommended Tire Chains for 8R19.5 Size Tires on Airstream Motorhome
  • I believe you are looking for tire chains for the 8R19.5 size tires on your 1989 Airstream Motorhome. If this is the case the Pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains # PWE2214SC will work perfectly. These heavy-duty chains feature a nickel manganese alloy steel construction that will hold up great over time and the square links will provide excellent traction in the snow or ice. Two chains are included in the kit. All pricing information is listed on the product page.

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way Trailer Wiring on 2014 Subaru Forester
  • You'd first need to start with a 4-way like the Tekonsha kit part # 118467 and then convert it to a 7-way since 7-way kits are not available for your vehicle. If your trailer does not have brakes all you'd need is the part # 37185 and you'd be set. If instead you do have trailer brakes you'd need a brake controller to actuate them like the Brake EVN # TK63VR. And instead of the 37185 the part # ETBC7 which comes with all of the parts needed to install a brake controller as well.

  • Recommended Roof Rack For a 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness With Factory Roof Rails
  • I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack for your 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness. For this you will need the Crossbars # TH711320 and Feet # TH710401. I prefer this system as the crossbars use a 2-piece channel seal which allows you to easily add channel mounted accessories without having to pull out or trim the single piece seals. The Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450800 will provide you with 8 keyed alike lock cores. Four of these will be used to secure the roof rack to...
