Expert Answers about Jeep Trailer Tool Box


  • Does The RC Manufacturing T-Series Trailer Tongue Tool Box # 350980 Have a Textured Finish?
  • The RC Manufacturing T-Series Trailer Tongue Tool Box # 350980 has what I would call a satin black finish. This is the reason it is not as shiny as others and the finish is smooth, not textured.

  • Can the Bluetooth control Kit Be Mounted Between the Cannister & a Tool Box
  • Yes Jerry, the Bluetooth Control Kit for Pace Edwards Electric Tonneau Covers # PE63QJ should work fine between the canister and a tool box but you can fire it up and test it prior to mounting it. If you find that the signal isn't as strong, or that it's not responding you can just move it to a place with better signal.

  • Chest Tool Box that Can Fit Between Bed Rails of 1983 Jeep Wrangler CJ
  • Hey Scott, so I might have a solution for you but the # UWS01059 that you referenced is actually 37 inches wide so it won't fit between your 36 inch wide bed rails. instead we have the part # UWS01058 which is 30 inches wide and would work.

  • Old Yakima RocketBox Is Locked With Key Snapped Inside Lock Cylinder
  • Hello Barbara, That's certainly a lousy situation but there's nothing you can do apart from calling a locksmith and having them drill out the lock. There isn't a tool or any specific way to open a locked cargo box with the key stuck in it, so it's the only option. Then, assuming you have the SKS lock cores you will replace them with Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07202.

  • The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs item # BWGNRK1320 you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2020 Ram 2500 without the OEM prep package. The turnover ball system does work with the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVK3500-5W. This system will work great but you will need a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder. Without the rotating pin box you will not have the clearance for towing without hitting your Ramboxes....

  • Troubleshooting Reese Goose Box Not Allowing Air Into System To Fill Air Spring
  • First there could be a couple issues since you are saying your Reese Goose Box # RP85FR is not accepting air. On the end of the valve is a core.

  • How to Find the Correct Replacement Lead Leg for 5th Wheel Landing Gear
  • Thanks for all the information! You are correct that is the lead leg because it is closest to the gear and the motor. However, in order to determine which replacement lead leg you need, you'll need to find the model of the landing gear on your trailer and measure it's outer tube length. This is something we have no way of knowing and I wouldn't want to assume anything. For example, if you do have a Venture landing gear with legs that measure 29-1/2" you can replace the leg with the Replacement...

  • The best 5th wheel hitch for your 2021 Chevy Silverado short bed truck with the OEM prep package is going to be the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package item # BWRVK3710. B&W makes the best hitches in the towing business. The Companion will drop right down into your Chevy's puck system for easy install and removal.

  • Replacement AC For A 2011 Forest River Crusader 290
  • Hello Lucas, I can definitely point you in the right direction. RV air conditioners are not custom fitted though, so really can't use the vehicle selection tool for this purpose. Do you happen to know what brand of air conditioner is currently on your camper? We will undoubtedly have a replacement for you, and knowing the brand will help us pinpoint the exact right replacement system. We also can replace the rooftop portion only, or the entire AC system can be replaced depending on your...

  • Will a Low Profile Tool Box Work With Access Roll Up Tonneau Cover?
  • The design of the UWS Secure Lock Low Profile Truck Bed Toolbox # UWS07730 will make it difficult to open and latch closed with an Access Toolbox Edition Soft, Roll-Up Tonneau Cover # A61409. This type of cover sits 1-1/2" above the bed rails which is nearly as tall as the 2" the toolbox will sit. You would want to use a toolbox which sits higher in your bed like the UWS # UWS07649.

  • Option For Replacing A Contico 40231550 Strut
  • Hey Albert. I do have a potential option for you for replacing the Contico 40231550 gas struts on your toolbox, but I am afraid we do not offer a direct replacement. Our closest option is the Universal Gas Strut # ATL88BR This has a 15" extended length and a 8-3/4" retracted length. It also uses a standard 10mm ball socket on each end so for that you would need part # UWSBALLSTUD as well.

  • Hey Landon, that looks like you're looking for the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR2000S02.

  • Ladder Rack that Can Fit 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 6.5 foot Bed that Can Fit with Tonneau
  • Hey Ethan, the front and rear uprights of the Erickson Over the Cab Ladder Rack part # EM07707 are actually not set at an exact location and can slide forward and back on the horizontal railing. Since this installs by wrapping around the bed rails it wouldn't fit with a tonneau though but we do have the TracRac part # TH43002XT-781EX which also has the over head extension that does fit with tonneaus since it attaches through the top of the bed rails.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2021 BMW X5 for Kuat 4 BIke Rack
  • It's not complicated at all to use your Kuat 4 Bike Rack with your BMW X5, you're just going to need at least a class III hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C85VV. I'm not going to sit here and tell you that it's an easy job to put the hitch on, because it is going to require you to do some trimming, loosen/remove the fascia/some underbody panels, and temporarily remove the bumper, which isn't exactly simple - especially if you're not super mechanically inclined. That being...

  • Do Bike Racks With A Tool-Free Installation Work With Trailer Hitch Reducers
  • Hey Sean, The tool-free installations of Yakima, Thule, and Kuat all pinch the rack against the receiver tube. With you having a reducer the rack would clamp to the reducer and there'd be nothing to clamp the reducer to the receiver tube of the hitch without installing a hitch pin. Both Thule and Yakima's designs won't allow for a separate hitch pin so you'll need to go with a Kuat rack like the NV 2.0 # NV22B or # NV22G. The NV 2.0 will come with a hitch pin and an anti-rattle knob...

  • Installing Electric Brakes on a Vehicle Tow Dolly
  • You have a 3500 pound axle, with a 4-bolt axle flange, spaced 4” apart each. You also have tires and wheels with a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. To put brakes on your West Texas Dolly # WTD-35D you will need a left and right trailer brake kit like the etrailer # AKEBRK-35 rated for 3,500 pounds, and 10” x 2-1/4” brake pads. Mounting bolts are included but nuts and lock washers # BRKH10B are not. If it were me I would purchase the etrailer # AKEBRK-35-SA self adjusting brakes so that I would...

  • Need Help Connecting a 2003 Honda Goldwing To a Motorcycle Trailer From Northern Tool
  • Unfortunately I am not sure the dealer you spoke to knows exactly what he was talking about either. I am not aware of any 6-pin or 4-pin European connectors for a trailer. It sounds to me like you may have a 6-Pole Square Trailer Wiring Connector # 37995 which I have seen installed on a lot of motorcycles. This is going to put the brake lights on a separate circuit coming off your bike. My recommendation would be to just install the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59496 onto your...
