  • Recommended Trailer Brake Hub And Drum Assembly For A Cargo Trailer With 3.5K Or 5.2K Axles
  • We do have plenty of options for your trailer that you may be interested in. Since you already know your wheel bolt pattern, you'll just need to figure out the capacity of your axle. You can do this by either locating the axle tag, which will have the capacity printed on it, or you can measure the diameter of your axle. If it turns out you have a 3.5K axle, you can use the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles # 84656UC3-EZ, or, if you have a 5.2K axle you can...

  • Trailer Brake Controller Options for a 2023 Toytoa 4Runner
  • I checked with Tekonsha and they currently do not have any wiring harnesses for the 2023 Toyota 4Runner, and the wiring harness you mentioned is not going to fit your vehicle either. If you're looking for a brake controller, the only option is to use either the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller # RED44FR or the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR with the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # RED49FR. You could realistically use any brake controller with the included universal...

  • Running Boards or Nerf Bars For a 2010 Toyota 4Runner
  • I do have an alternate option for you to mount step bars to your 2010 Toyota 4Runner. But there is not a mounting kit available for the Westin Sure-Grip Running Boards # 27-6120 that fits your 4Runner. Instead, you can use the Westin E-Series Nerf Bars # 23-3585, which come in a black powder coat finish and fits your 2010 Toyota 4Runner.

  • Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2008 Toyota 4Runner
  • If your 2008 Toyota 4Runner did not come with a factory installed 7-Way at the back, you will have to hardwire one in.

  • Replacement Leaf Springs For A 2018 Coachmen Apex Nano Camper Trailer
  • The springs that you currently have are a bit odd and we would not offer a direct replacement. Though it is less economical I recommend switching over to the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension # ASR5200S01. This system has 2 independent units that will eliminate the need for a thru axle while also increasing the ground clearance. This system has a weight capacity of 5,200 pounds. The axle spindle needs an Inner Bearing # 25580 and an Outer Bearing # 14125A. The Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly...

  • Roof Rack for Installing Swagman Exo Aero Kayak Carrier S65145 on 2018 Toyota 4Runner
  • Swagman's Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Carrier # S65145 is an excellent choice for heavier kayaks like fishing types since the carrier itself weighs only about 10-lbs. The Exo fits on crossbars up to 2-1/2-inches wide so since your 4Runner's factory bars are too wide you can add an aftermarket roof rack that will work great with the Exo. I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bar Rack # 298-SX6000B because it offers a high 150-lb weight rating and you can install them with a wide bar spacing to give...

Or a Pin and Clip For Class III, IV and V Trailer Hitch Receiver # PC3 will be a good option to stabilize your products. CargoBuckle Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps w/ S-Hooks # IMF12637 are also a good addition. These tie-down straps let you secure gear to your truck bed, trailer, or cargo carrier....

  • Using Weight Distribution Towing 2001 Kodiak Hybrid with 2004 Toyota 4 Runner
  • Your towing capacity will depend on how the vehicle is equipped. According to my research, the V6 4 Runner model can tow up to 5000 lbs. The V8 models have a higher tow rating, 7300 lb for 2WD models, or 7000 lb for 4WD models. I would strongly suggest consulting your owners manual or your Toyota dealer for confirmation. Your owner's manual should state if your vehicle is rated for weight distribution. You'd also need to check your hitch, to ensure it's rated for weight distribution....

  • Recommended Snow Tire Chains For A 2022 Tesla Model Y Perfomance
  • When it comes to the correct tire chains I would need to know what tire size that you currently have on your 2022 Tesla Model Y Performance. The tire size will be stamped onto the tire. There are two standard sizes that we have tire chains listed for on your Tesla are the 255/40-20 and the 255/45-19. If you have the 255/40-20 I would recommend The Konig Tire Chains # TH2004205117.
