The CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Tie-Down Straps # IMF18800 have a 1 year limited warranty. This is pretty standard across brands for a retractable ratchet strap. Unfortunately, after 10 years this means they are no longer covered under the warranty. The only option would be to replace them. view full answer...
For the BoatBuckle Tie-Down Straps # IMF08893 themselves you will want to check the mount tab for any cracks that may have occurred. If you have cracks in the steel you will want to replace the entire assembly. We do have the Mounting Bracket # IMF14254 which may allow you to position the straps away from the area where your boat hull can contact it while loading.
Otherwise please send me some images of your boat and trailer and I can give you other alternatives. view full answer...
If your Erickson Ratchet Tie-Down Strap w Double J-Hooks # EM78627-MS are stuck then I recommend holing one of them in place with something like a vice and tapping on the other one with a rubber mallet at different angles to slowly loosen it up. Just be sure the places you hit it aren't reinforcing the hooks being connected. view full answer...
Over tightening straps that secure a bike by the handlebars can blow out the fork seals. So I would not recommend the use of a strap that automatically tightens as you will end up with the problem you experienced.
The CargoBuckle G3 Retractable Ratchet Tie-Down Straps # IMF18800 can self retract, but they do not self tighten. If these are the straps you used and the fork seals blew out it would be from either over tightening them on the initial install or weak seals. view full answer...
For your 2011 Toyota Sienna without siderails, the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B is a great option. It uses vacuum mounts that each have a 210 lbs pull strength rating. Then you can use the SUP and Surfboard Pads for SeaSucker Monkey Bars - 19-1/2" Long - Qty 2 # 298-SA1022 along with the Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps for SeaSucker Monkey Bars - 1" Wide x 10' Long - Qty 2 # 298-SA0010. This is a very strong system able to handle highway speeds... view full answer...
The TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Rear Item # TLR3510 is competing for the same space as the step so unfortunately there isn't a work around for this tie down. Instead you could replace the steps that bolt onto the wall of the camper like the TorkLift GlowStep Stow N' Go Scissor Steps w/ Landing Gear - 3 Steps - 375lbs - Black Bracket Item # TLA7833.
There are a few different options depending on the entry height of your camper which you can see in the chart I've attached.... view full answer...
In order to remove that panel, there will be a 10 millimeter nut that needs to be removed using a 10 millimeter socket. Towards the back of the bumper, there are two push pin fasteners that are holding it in, that will need to be removed. You can use a flat head screwdriver or trim panel tool. When you see two small notches on the push pins, pop out the center section to take the tension off. The pop out the outer ring on the push pin and remove it all the way. Now you can pull the panel... view full answer...
The Tork Lift camper tie-downs we offer are all meant for the 6-1/2 foot bed, not the 5 foot 7 inch bed on your truck.
CR Brophy offers the # HSSF which would work with your truck, as long as there is 2 inches of clearance under the bed lip as shown in the photo I provided. You'd also need the tie-down hardware package, part # TDHP. The HSSF would actually clamp to the underside of the lip on the bed side rail. view full answer...
The first thing I would check on is the capacity of the new springs that you had installed on the trailer. You need to be sure that the spring capacity is rated at 1/2 the axle capacity. That way 2 springs equal the capacity of the trailer axle for proper fit. Check the arch of the springs with a level top of spring to top of spring to tie bolt.
Next, check the suspension components on the trailer and make sure there is no damage. The Spring hangers, equalizers or shackle straps could... view full answer...
The Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs # HSSF will have a very slight amount of play since there is a compressible pad to prevent scratches on the bedrails, but it sounds like you're having much more significant play. I've attached a picture from an install of this part and you can see that the bolt is at its limit on threads. If you're seeing the same with your install then I recommend picking up longer T-Bolts with part # BR2007 to close the gap and tighten it down more to your bedrails. view full answer...
On the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7380 the vertical bracket on the shank that accepts the pin when storing the tow bar in the vertical position comes from the factory with an oval slot. My contact at Blue Ox confirmed this is the only bracket ever supplied on that tow bar and it is shown in the linked photo. It is designed to allow the tow bar to lean either towards the driver- or passenger-side when stored.
You can certainly add a tie-down strap or bungee cord to help secure the tow bar... view full answer...
Glad to hear most of the installation of your TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # TLC2225 went well, however to fix the issue you're having I recommend re-tapping the threads for your bed bolt as they may be worn or stripped out.
To further secure the bolt into it's spot you can also use some thread locker like:
-Loctite Threadlocker 262 - High Strength - Up to 3/4" Nuts/Bolts # LT37420.
I've also included an installation video for you to check out as well. view full answer...
I was able to reach out to my tech contact over at TorkLift to get some guidance on the installation of the TorkLift Front Tie-Down # TLF2022 for you. He mentioned that you'll want to apply pressure to the tie-down (pull it down a little bit) or to the bolt threads so that the star washer stops the bolt from spinning- you can use some channel locks and a rag to save the thread or use a screwdriver against the threads so that it doesn't spin. He also mentioned that if you have an impact... view full answer...
I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, there is not an extension of the Adarac ladder rack # A70510 available. As far as having additional support of the bow of the canoe on your 2013 Silverado's cab, I recommend the Malone Foam Block for Canoes - 6" Long - Qty 1 # MPG160. The Foam Block will serve as a point to mount the bow down to the roof of your cab to make sure the kayak doesn't bump it during transport. In addition to the foam pad, you will need the Malone Hood Loops for Bow and... view full answer...
It sounds like a problem with tongue weight. In this case, the tongue weight may be too high meaning too much weight is forward of the trailer axle, pushing down on the hitch, or too low. If at all possible, try moving some weight further back or forward. If you have a large motor on the back, it could be making the tongue weight too low, while gear at the front or items mounted to the trailer tongue area can make it too high.
Also, most trailer tires are rated for a maximum speed of 65... view full answer...
Actually Putco has a lifetime warranty for the Putco Push-Up Tie-Downs # P99901 that protects their stainless steel and aluminum products against defects in workmanship and material for as
long as you own your vehicle.
I would recommend you contact who you bought these from or Putco and have them warranty your current set. For more information on the warranty check out the installation instructions link I attached. The warranty is explained at the bottom of the page. view full answer...
MaxxAir vents like the # MA00-04000K run off of 12 volt DC power and with the symptoms that you're having I suspect that the USB charging outlet is running off of 12v DC as well and is tied into the same line as the vent. When you draw power for the charger it's taking it away from the vent, causing it to shut down. A lot of manufacturers will tie smaller appliances together to make the installation easier so it's very likely that this is the case for your motorhome.
Normally the vent... view full answer...
Is the trailer sitting nose high or low? If the trailer isn't sitting perfectly level that is a typical cause for the shackle straps to flip upside down. Or if they are too short for the application that could cause a problem.
I attached a link to a page that shows how to pick out the correct ball mount to allow a trailer to be towed as level as possible plus a link to a page that has all of our shackle straps. view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Demco and he insisted that while it was unlikely that the cap that goes over the air connection on the # SM99243 would come off in an automatic car wash, they recommend using a zip tie around the cap on the connection to keep it secure. Typically the cap would only come off when they are worn down and stretched out. Using a zip tie around the base will keep even the most worn down cap from coming off while going through an automatic car wash. view full answer...
