  • Can I Place Bunks MPG561 On The Malone 2nd Tier Load Bar System MPG474?
  • Hello again and thank you for your questions. To answer your first question, yes, it is possible to place the bunk kit # MPG561 on the 2nd Tier Load Bar System # MPG474. That said, the bunk kit weighs about 23 lbs, so that combined with the 90 lb kayak will put you over the 100 lb weight capacity for the 2nd tier system. My recommendation would be to use a simple crossbar pad like the Malone Rack Pads # MPG314, along with the tie downs of your choice (such as the etrailer Tie Down Kit...

  • Recommended Paddle Board Carrier For 34 Inch Wide Paddle Board
  • Hi Matthew, For a paddle board as wide as your 34 inch L4, the best option to transport it on your roof is a carrier from Yakima: - Yakima SUPDawg Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # Y04075 The SUPDawg # Y04075 can carry boards up to 36 inches wide, which is the most a carrier can handle, so you'll have a bit of room to spare; it also has a 66 lb capacity, which is just over what your board weighs. So it has the right specs to work with your SUP, but is also nice because it's...

  • What Is the Weight Capacity of the HappiJac Camper Tie Downs
  • Hey Scott, so the HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs item # LC182910-182971 actually does not have any weight capacity because they are designed to handle the weight of any truck bed camper. This also applies to any camper tie-down, which is why there aren't any designated weight ratings.

  • What HappiJac Camper Tie-Downs will Fit a 2013 GMC Sierra 3500 Regular Cab Long Bed Dually?
  • You are correct the HappiJac Camper Tie-Downs # LC182904-182971 are the correct kit for your 2013 GMC Sierra 3500 with a regular cab and 8' bed. I would highly recommend looking at the Torklift Front # TLC2215 and Rear # TLC3212 as a better option since these are going to be frame mounted which is what most slide-in camper manufacturers are going to require. Also they are easier to install since you are not having to install them between the bed and the cab.

  • Best Option For Replacing A Tie Down LP750 Brake Actuator
  • We do have a great option for replacing your Tie Down LP 750 Brake Actuator. The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX29FR that you mentioned can be used for a lot of different trailer tongue configurations. It can be slid inside a trailer tongue or it can be placed over the tongue, like for your application. It has the electric lockout, 7.5K capacity and 2" ball coupler that you are looking for. It also uses the exact same bolt pattern as your Tie Down actuator with holes 3" apart horizontally...

  • Cool Down Time and Max Strap Length for Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch
  • The ventilation on the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch # DL25215 cannot be improved to increase the run time. The cool down period is 20-30 minutes. The motor uses bushings. The maximum strap length the winch is capable of holding is 25'. You would be better off using something like the Bulldog Winch Trailer Winch # BDW10030 which uses a 50' synthetic rope for this application.

  • Where To Install The Plastic Kick Wand During A Stealth Hitch Install On A 2012 BMW 535i
  • Hey Payton, Stealth Hitches is typically great about having some sort of clip to hold sensors back in their original place, but I'm assuming this is just an oversight on their part. We do occasionally run into this issue down in the shop and we typically just zip tie the plastic wand as close to the factory position as possible on the new crossbeam. The instructions for the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH97ZR completely leave out what to do so I would just go the zip tie route...

  • Can You Get a Lock For Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate For Dodge
  • Hi Gary, I checked and there is not a way to add a lock to the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate with Open Design for Dodge Trucks # VGD-94-101. There isn't one that can be fabricated that I am aware of, but you might be able to use a cable lock like # e98891. If your truck has tie-down points or a way to loop it to a spot underneath the bed rails that's probably going to be the best option.

  • Recommended Ladder Rack For A 2014 Toyota Tacoma Hauling Two Paddle Boards
  • Hey Angela, If you're wanting a ladder rack then I recommend the Thule TracRac TracONE Ladder Rack # TH27000XTB-TA. This rack comes with load stops that you could use to secure your paddleboards or you could go with a track mounted carrier like the Inno Locker Watersport Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # INXA445.

  • Recommended 2-Kayak Carrier & Bike Rack For Yakima Corebar Crossbars
  • Hey there Erica, thanks for the question and we can get you set up to carry a couple kayaks and your mountain bike with your Yakima CoreBar crossbars. Let's start with the kayak carrier, and one that I really like due to its combo of quality and price (which = value) is from Rhino-Rack: - Rhino-Rack Kayak Carrier # S512-S512X This is a 2-kayak carrier that will easily clamp onto your crossbars, is very sturdy with its 165 lb weight capacity, and even comes with tie-downs so you don't...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2024 Subaru Forester
  • I agree it can be a bit overwhelming looking through all of the roof racks for your 2024 Subaru Forester, but don't worry I'll help you out. The first thing you'd want to get figured out is the style of bars you're looking for. Currently there are square, round, and aero bars. Once you decide on a bar style you'll then want to choose a length. For your vehicle, we have bars that measure 30" to 65" long. Finally, the last thing to consider would be branding. Some people are brand loyalists...

  • Recommended Platform Bike Rack for a 1-1/4 Inch Hitch
  • That all depends on the style of bike you're going to be using. The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes item # HLY94FR you were looking at is a great option for bikes with alternative frames and fenders. It uses padded cradles with ratchet straps to secure your bikes by the downtubes or top tube. It does have a lower weight capacity at 35 lbs per bike and you wouldn't want to mount a bike with a carbon frame to it. If you have a heavier e-bike then you will want to go with...
