There are filters on the page that allow you to narrow the results shown to make it easier to match...

  • Why Do Ladder Racks Say It Will Work With A Trail Rail System If It Requires Removal Of The System
  • I agree that the fitguide's filter for Trail Rail compatible ladder racks is a bit misleading since you would have to remove your trail rail. The only ones that really will mount into the trail rail tracks are the Rhino Rack options like part # RR29VH. There are other options in there that will also fit because they either mount in the stake pockets or into a tonneau cover t-slot. Yakima, for example, has the # Y01152-5755 which comes with adapters to mount in the t-slots of a cover. The...

  • Will Hopkins HM56203 Flat Tow Wiring Harness Operate License Plate Lamps on Vehicle
  • Depending on what point in the factory taillight harness the license plate lamp is wired in, it's entirely possible that the license plate lamp on your 2007 Liberty could be bypassed when flat towing. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any specific information on this, either online or from Hopkins. If your license plate lamp doesn't illuminate when flat towing, you would indeed need to run a jumper from the # HM56203 harness to your license plate lamp. You can see an install video...

  • Is Underside of Heininger PortablePet Hitch Step HE3052 Flat and Smooth
  • The underside of the step isn't flat and smooth, as shown in the provided photo. It would still work for you, but I'd recommend using a piece of 1/4 inch plywood or a thin metal plate bolted onto the underside of the step if you wished to use it in the manner you describe. This would provide a smooth surface for your pet to step on. I've linked to a product demonstration video for the pet step.

The Euro top design helps distribute your weight across the surface of the mattress, alleviating the pressure points of your shoulders, hips, and knees.

  • Does Breakaway System Pin for Flat Tow Supplemental Braking System Need to be Left in Place
  • It's not recommended that the pin from the breakaway switch be removed, in order to keep dirt and debris from getting into the switch and interfering with its operation. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a cover or cap. I've checked with a couple of our manufacturers who tell me that they don't offer a cap. Your best bet would be to simply leave the switch in place. I've been doing this for 15 years, and I've honestly never head of a breakaway pin being stolen. If you're using a # HM20010...

  • Is a Supplemental Braking System Needed When Flat Towing a 1993 Jeep Wrangler
  • To flat tow your 1993 Jeep Wrangler you will need a Tow Bar, Safety Cables, a Base Plate Kit, Vehicle Tow Bar Lighting, and most likely a Supplemental Braking System and High-Low Adapter. If you are talking about using a Supplemental Braking System for flat towing your Jeep then I highly recommend it. Not only does it make your flat towing setup more safe, but it is also a requirement in most states. You can check the rules for flat towing in any states that you will be passing through...

  • Will There be Rattle When Using Rapid Hitch Adjustable Aluminum Ball Mount Kit # AM3460
  • As you note, the primary value of this aluminum ball mount # AM3460 from Andersen is the range of adjust-ability which enables it to work with a variety of trailer and vehicle heights, and both 2-inch and 2-5/16-inch coupler sizes. If you typically tow more than one trailer on a regular basis this convenience may outweigh any minor rattle in this system. It is also light in weight at 19-lbs compared to steel ball mounts. It is true that this adjustable ball mount has three mechanical joints...

  • Test LED on Curt C57674 4 to 7 way 12v Adapter Stays On with Vehicle Shut Off
  • There is a slight draw even when the vehicle is shut off, this is normal as the wire that feeds that circuit is connected directly to the battery. The LED draws a minuscule amount of voltage, so unless the vehicle will sit for several months on end, there's no danger of draining the battery. If the fact that the LED remains lit is a concern to you, you could install a battery isolation solenoid like # PK5231201. When installed, the solenoid would disconnect that power feed when the ignition...

  • Can a 2009 Jeep Compass with Automatic Transmission be Towed With 4 Wheels Down
  • I did some research on the 2009 Jeep Compass models, and unfortunately you would not be able to to your vehicle with four wheels on the ground because it has an automatic transmission. Only the models with a manual transmission are able to be towed in this manner. You might want to look into a tow dolly setup, like the RoadMaster dolly # RM-2000-1, as an alternative. This would still allow you to tow the Compass, but it would be more comparable with towing the vehicle on a trailer,...
