  • Bike Rack Solution for 2003 Land Rover Discovery II
  • The Surco part # BT300 just hasn't been test fit on your vehicle. There's a chance the rack would fit, but in reality we can't say for certain. However, the Malone Runway Spare Tire Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms Item # MPG2148 is a confirmed fit and should meet your needs.

  • Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller to a 2001 Land Rover Discovery II
  • Does your 2001 Land Rover Discovery II have a 4-Way flat connector on it? If not then the first step is to install one using # C59496. I believe I know the British Atlantic brand harness you are talking about and it is a regular US 4-Way flat. Then after installing the 4-Way, or if you already have a 4-Way, you would need # ETBC7 to add the 7-Way. This will also retain the 4-Way so you will have both on your vehicle. I have included some links that show and explain the ETBC7 installation...

  • Weight Distribution Solution for 2017 Somerset Evolution E3
  • We do have a weight distribution solution that will work well on your 2017 Somerset Evolution E3 w/ Deck but due to the limited clearance on the trailer frame where the chain hangers would attach you'd have to go with a set of bolt on weight distribution chain hangers like the # RP58305 which attach only to the side of the frame. You'll have to use a Reese weight distribution system with these hangers. Which I attached a link to a page that has all of the ones we offer. You'd need to select...

  • Adding a 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector to a 2003 Land Rover Discovery II
  • Since the 2003 Land Rover Discovery has a 4-Way round connector it is most likely already converted. There should be one pin for right turn/brake lights, one pin for left turn and brake lights, one pin for running lights, and one ground pin. You can use a circuit tester like # PTW2979 to confirm. We do have an adapter that connects to a 4-Way round but it has a 4-Way flat at the other end, # 47465 so you would need another adpater like # 20036. What I recommend is to replace the 4-Way...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2004 Land Rover Discovery II
  • It sounds like you have a 7-Way blade style trailer connector which will look like # 37185. If you do have a European 7-Way, it will have a different design and pin functions. Use a circuit tester like # PTW2979 if needed to test the pins to determine what functions they have. Then compare those to what we list is the FAQ I linked to determine if you have a common North American type of connector or a European connector. If you do have a European trailer connector I do recommend switching...

  • Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2002 Land Rover Discovery II
  • We have a universal towing mirror that should work well for your 2002 Land Rover Discovery II, but we don't have anything custom fit specifically for your vehicle. I recommend the K Source Universal Clip-On Towing Mirror, part # KS3891 for your truck. As long as you have a lip on the edge of your mirrors, these will work great for you. These mirrors are sold individually and will attach to either the driver or the passenger side mirrors. These mirrors measure 7-3/4 inches tall by 5-1/8...

  • Parts Needed To Install Brake Controller on a 2002 Land Rover Discovery II for a 2013 Lance Trailer
  • You will need to hardwire in a brake controller on your 2002 Land Rover Discovery II. First you will need to install a 4-Way trailer wiring harness unless the vehicle already has one, # 119178KIT. Next you will need a 4 and 7 way installation kit # ETBC7. This kit provides the 7-way, wiring, and accessories needed to install a brake controller on the vehicle. I have included some links that explain the ETBC7 installation. A 20 amp circuit breaker, included, would be used if you have 2...

  • Recommended Supplemental Braking System Recommendation for Land Rover Discovery II
  • The AutoStop braking systems can be used on several vehicles as long as they are using the correct corresponding tow bar. That being said, our installers here are not big fans of the AutoStops at all. I can't recommend them for you as I don't think it will work very well for you. The common complaint is that it's difficult to install and doesn't offer much braking performance. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion...

  • How to Install a Brake Controller on a Vehicle that has a Factory 4-Way
  • The best way to install a brake controller like the Prodigy P2 part # 90885 on a vehicle like your 2001 Mercedes 320 that has a factory 4-way is to use the # ETBC7 that you purchased as well and install it according to the installation instructions by hardwiring everything. For your vehicle there isn't a simple plug-in adapter available so using the # ETBC7 would be your best option. I attached the installation instructions to the right plus an install video for you to check out.

  • Tow Bar Lighting Recommendation for 2001 Land Rover Discovery II
  • Supplemental braking does not activate vehicle turn signals when being flat towed so you'd need to install a tow bar lighting kit to allow that. 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 towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and...

  • Roof Rack for 2004 Land Rover Discovery II with Raised Rails for Rhino Rack Cargo Basket
  • The Rhino Rack roof cargo basket part # RRRMCB03 that you referenced requires a set of crossbars to attach so what you'd need for your 2004 Land Rover Discovery II with raised side rails would be a set like the Malone part # MPG216 which is a confirmed fit.

  • 7-Way Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2003 Land Rover Discovery II
  • We have trailer wiring solutions for your 2003 Land Rover Discovery II but they are hardwired harnesses with like the part # C59496 that provides the taillight signals that you'd need to start with. Then from there you'd need to convert it to a 7-way you'd need the part # 37185 which is the style that uses blades for the pins. If you need a 7-way with pins you'd also need the adapter part # 47595. We do not carry any 6-way flat connectors so I am fairly certain what you are referring to...

  • 7-Way Tester Recommendation for a Land Rover with 7-Way and P3 Brake Controller
  • Yes, we do offer a 7-way tester that will allow you to plug into the 7-way at the rear of your Land Rover to test all of the functions. For that you would want the part # C73NR.

  • Recommended Trailer Wheel With 3.19 Diameter Hub Bore
  • I have another option for you, but we do not have a 10" diameter wheel that has the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and a pilot hole of 3.19". The two 10" wheels that we offer with the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern both have a 2.80" diameter pilot hole, and a 3.19" diameter hub bore is not standard with this size wheel. As long as the center of your hub is 2.80" or smaller you would have no issue using the Steel Trailer Wheel - 10" x 6" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - White # AM20046, as trailer wheels center...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2003 Land Rover Discovery II
  • You would first need to start with a base plate kit confirmed as a fit for your 2003 Land Rover Discovery II. For that we have the Roadmaster XL kit part # 1910-1 which will work well. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For...

  • Why Do Swinging Bike Racks All Swing Towards Passenger Side
  • The reason bike racks all swing to the driver side is because when people pull over on the side of the highway they almost always pull to the right side. So if you were on the side of the highway and needed to swing the bike rack out you wouldn't want to swing it out into traffic. That's why the bike rack manufacturers like Yakima make their pivots like the part # Y02483 swing to the passenger side.

  • How Much Weight Gets Transferred To Trailer Axles and Vehicle Front Axle with Weight Distribution
  • The key to weight distribution is not to have an exact percentage of the weight transferred to either of the axles. The whole goal behind all of if it is to have your tow vehicle sit as level as possible so that it will brake and handle the best possible. Since that is the goal and different vehicles have different spring rates and wheelbases the percentages distributed to each axle won't be uniform between setups. An exact figure can't be given although some claim that when properly setup...
