  • Is Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform RR69QX The Same as JC-00696
  • I checked with Rhino-Rack for you, and can confirm that their part JC-00696 is the same as our kit for the Pioneer Platform: - Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR69QX This kit does include the 76" long x 49" wide Pioneer Platform, as well as the legs and fit kit in order to mount it to your roof. In regards to the item, we are actually an online-only store and don't have any physical store locations, so it would need to be shipped to your address.

  • Replacement Wheel for Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly
  • I spoke with our tire and wheel expert (30+ years in the business) and he stated that Demco is rounding the bolt pattern up to 115mm. This often happens with companies that do not manufacturer the tires and wheels. Wheel # DM11574 is indeed the exact replacement from Demco for the KarKaddy SS tow dolly.

  • Compatibility of Roadmaster RM-522 Falcon All Terrain Tow Bar w/ Base Plates on 2006 Lexus GX 470
  • According to Roadmaster, their # 1185-1 Base Plate kit is compatible with all Roadmaster Tow Bars, including your # RM-522 Falcon All Terrain model. To complete your flat towing set-up, you'll need safety cables like # RM-643, a wiring kit like # RM-15267, a supplemental braking system like # RM-9400 and possibly a high/low adapter if there's more than a 3 inch height difference between the receiver in the tow vehicle and the base plate on the Lexus. According to my research, that particular...

  • Is There a Correct Breakaway Cable for Surge Brakes on 2002 Sea Ray Boat Trailer
  • In order to tell you the correct breakaway cables for the surge brakes on your 2002 Sea Ray single axle trailer I'd first need to know what actuator is installed on your trailer. You might be able to use the Replacement Safety Cable for Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuators # DM12200 but you'd need to ensure that the 28" length is correct for you and that the 1/4" screw and 1-1/2" length is enough for your actuator. If this option doesn't work, let me know what surge brake actuator you have...

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2005 Lexus GX 470
  • The trailer hitch receiver I suggest is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75155. This is a 2 inch, Class III hitch receiver confirmed to fit your 2005 Lexus GX 470. I've linked an install video on a 2004 which will be the same. You'll need a wiring harness on the Lexus to power the trailer's lights. Use # C59236. It's circuit protect so you won't have to worry about the wiring of your Lexus being damaged from shorts. For a pin and clip to fit you can use # PC3 or if you'd like to have a locking...

  • Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack for a 2009 Lexus GX 470
  • The 60" x 49" Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR35TB requires specific fit kits and is only compatible with certain vehicles. We do have a Pioneer platform rack that will fit the factory crossbars on your 2009 Lexus GX 470 but unfortunately this is not the correct part number. Instead you need to use the 58" x 47" Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR42115BF which is a universal fit that is compatible with round, square, elliptical, and most factory crossbars. This rack features mounting...

  • How to Use Dr. Tray With 1-1/4 Inch Shank in 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • Alright, so let's start with the Dr. Tray; I checked with Yakima for you and there isn't a replacement shank/stinger for the Dr. Tray so there's no way to convert it from a 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch shank. So the best option really is going to be a hitch reducer, with one specific option I recommend: - Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HT02 The reason I recommend going with this reducer is because unlike most reducers it does not reduce the tongue weight capacity of your...

  • Does Curt Hitch For 2004 Lexus GX 470 Line Up to Bolt Holes
  • The bolt holes on your 2004 Lexus GX 470 will line up perfectly when installing the Curt hitch that fits, which is the following part: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13445 There is also no need to partially disassemble the bumper; the hitch will simply line up to the bolt holes and you will install the hitch with the included bolts. I have added a link below to the installation instructions for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.

  • Is a Hitch Required to Mount Thule Hitching Post Pro 4 Bike Rack # TH934XTR on 2007 Lexus GX 470
  • Yes, in order to mount the Thule Hitching Post Pro Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack, # TH934XTR, on your 2007 Lexus GX 470, your vehicle will need to be equipped with a hitch like the Curt Custom Fit Trailer Hitch, # 13445. Another convenient option for carrying bikes with your Lexus would be with a trunk mounted bike rack like the Thule OutWay PRO 3 Bike Carrier, # TH56BV. This option would limit you to carrying a maximum of three bikes at one time. I have attached a link to all of the trunk...

  • Towing Mirrors For A 2008 Lexus GX 470
  • Item # CM11401 is not compatible with a 2008 Lexus GX470 as these are a custom fit mirror. I recommend the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror Item # 40375. This mirror fit most applications and fits driver side and passenger side. This is a single mirror so if you are needing a second one, just use the same part number. This mirror will not interfere with the normal functions of the factory mirror.

  • Using the Thule Hitching Post Pro Part # TH934XTR on a 2006 Lexus GX470
  • The Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR does tilt rather far compared to other models. However, as we have not yet installed this rack on a 2006 Lexus GX470 I would not be able to confirm that the rear hatch can be swung open with the rack installed. There also cannot be any bikes on the rack while it is tilted down. The Hitching Post Pro is a bike rack manufactured by Thule exclusively for us. They do not offer it to any other clients. If you would like to add a lock to this rack...

  • Towing Mirrors for 2005 Lexus GX 470
  • While there are no custom towing mirrors for a 2005 Lexus GX 470 there is one potential solution with the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors # KS3891-2. These are a universal fit that will work on mirrors that are between 4-1/2" and 11-1/2" tall; while they have not been test fit on an '05 Lexus GX 470 the way they install with clips on the arms and a ratcheting strap tightening system it is likely they will work for your car. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out.

  • Will Timbren Jounce Spring TTORSEQ Make Off-Road Ride Quality Rough
  • Timbren rear axle jounce spring kits, like # TTORSEQ that fits your 2005 Lexus GX 470, are normally not engaged with the axle with the vehicle unloaded, meaning not full of passengers and/or cargo and not loaded by trailer tongue weight. If you were to be on a rough off-road surface with the vehicle unloaded you would be likely to feel the springs engage the axle when a wheel suddenly climbs up out of a rut. Since these springs are rated for 6000-lbs they are pretty stiff. They will support...

  • 4-Way Trailer Connector for a 2004 Lexus GX 470
  • The T-One # 118245 that you referenced will fit a 2004 Lexus LX 470 or RX 300 but for your GX 470 you need the universal harness # C59496 if your vehicle didn't come with the tow package. If your Lexus is the GX 470 and it did come with the tow package and you are wanting to use a 4-Way instead of a 7-Way then you can use the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM43374 instead which has both a 4-Way and a 7-Way connector.

  • Best Hitch Option to Carry a Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier for a 2007 Lexus GX 470
  • We do have a trailer hitch for your vehicle, however, the Draw-Tite Hitch Reciever, part # 75685 is not a confirmed fit for the 2007 Lexus GX470. It is designed to fit the GX460 from 2010 to 2017. Hitch receivers are designed for specific vehicles and shouldn't be used on vehicles they aren't intended for. Instead, I recommend the Curt Class III Round Tube Receiver, part # 13445. This will provide your vehicle with a strong mounting point for whatever you'd like to carry. For a bike...
