  • How to Find Correct Brake Wire for a Brake Controller on a 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • Thanks for reaching out, Michael! It looks like historically Subaru uses a brown wire (sometimes with another color stripe) for the cold side of the brake light switch, so it sounds like you've got a good start for your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon. With that being said, I'm not seeing anywhere where this has been confirmed for your 2022 model year so I recommend using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 so you can make sure that wire only gets hot when the brake pedal is pressed. If this...

  • How to Carry Surfboard on 2024 Subaru BRZ
  • Assuming your surfboard is no more than 31" wide the SeaSucker Surfboard Carrier # 298-BX1806 is the only real option. I can understand any hesitation to mount your surfboard with suction cups but they have a pull strenght of 1,260 lbs so they aren't going anywhere. Their demonstration video attached below does a great job showing this as they lift up the vehicle by the rack. If you're still worried about trusting your surfboard to a carrier stuck onto the top of your car with suction...

  • Wiring and Circuit Breaker Kit for 4-Way/7-Way Connecter to Add a Brake Controller
  • Hey Erik, thanks for reaching out! We can definitely get you to the # ETBC7 kit building off of your Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57672. What you need is the Wiring Kit # 5506 which has everything else in it aside from the circuit tester. If you don't already have a circuit tester then we have part # PTW2993 that works really well. These parts will work really well with the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR or Liberty # RED24FR for your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon!

  • Can App be Used with Air Lift WirelessAIR Upgrade Kit AL87DQ
  • Hi Cole, So the Air Lift WirelessAIR Suspension System for Air Helper Springs - Upgrade Kit # AL87DQ is meant just as an upgrade to an existing Air Lift WirelessAIR compressor like part # AL74000EZ. The Air Lift app won't be able to see the compressor as it is not designed to do so, and that's also why there is no remote in the kit. If you didn't have an existing compressor and wanted the rest of the parts in the upgrade kit you'd need the Air Lift WirelessAIR Suspension System for Air...

  • Is There A Kit For Installing A 7-Way On A 2023 Subaru Forster Wilderness With A 4-Flat Plug?
  • Yes we do! We actually came up with our own install kit specifically for this purpose, the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7. This will come with everything needed to take the existing 4-flat plug and upgrade it to a 7-way. It will also include all of the necessary wires for an electric trailer brake controller like the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty # RED52VR. I have linked install videos for the # ETBC7 kit and the Redarc brake controller below if you want to take a look.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2011 Subaru Outback
  • That sounds pretty sketchy. Never heard of a conversion kit with bolts that will make a hitch fit a car it's not designed for. The hitch you were looking at Item # 306-X7267 only fits the 2015 - 2018 Subaru Outback so using different sized bolts isn't going to help when the holes don't line up. If this isn't what you have and would like to send me a part number so I can verify it'll fit you can either email me directly or post it in the comment box below. For a similar style hitch that...

  • Wiring In A Tekonsha Prodigy RF And Mighty Cord 4-To-7 Pin Adapter
  • Hey Randy. You can install the Mighty Cord Trailer Connector Adapter # A10-7084VP and cap off the blue brake controller output wire with some electrical tape since the Prodigy RF will not be connecting to it. This system detects deceleration and activates the brakes accordingly and the remote gives you the ability to read errors and manually activate the brakes. The yellow wire on the # A10-7084VP can also be capped off with some electrical tape unless you need a reverse light signal....

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for a 2010 Subaru Impreza
  • Welcome back! I have a couple of options for a wiring harness but it depends on what model your 2010 Subaru Impreza is. From what I can tell the Outback Sport model is a hatchback so if that's the case you'll need the 5-Door Wagon option but wanted to list both. Sedan - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 56061 5-Door Wagon - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # C56111

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2024 Subaru Forester Carrying 4 Bike Thule T2 Bike Rack
  • Hey Danny, so the Thule T2 XTR bike rack part # TH69TX weighs 96 lbs (lets just call it 100) and then it has a 160 lb weight capacity so at most it would weigh 260 lbs. So since basically all 2 inch hitches have at least a 350 lb tongue weight capacity you wouldn't need to get too worried about that aspect of the hitch. For that I really like the Curt hitch part # C47HR for 2024 Subaru Forester as it has the needed capacity and also has a mostly hidden appearance since only the hitch...
