While we haven't directly had experience with the Tire Grip Vehicle Traction Recovery Tracks for Snow, Mud, and Sand # 288-07411-2 in sand we have had a handful of customers come back and tell us that these worked great for them in deep sand and that they saved them from having to call a tow truck. view full answer...
Since you have a brake controller already and a functioning 7-way all you need to wire the brake controller to the vehicle and 7-way is the install kit part # 5506. This comes with everything needed for powering the brake controller but you will also need 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot to connect the wire to the 7-way. view full answer...
If the weight of your trailer when ready to tow is lighter than half of the towing capacity of your vehicle you can use the hitch adapter part # D-192 in the configuration you mentioned.
Or, a better option is the # D210 which accomplishes a similar thing but does not have a reduced hitch capacity since there isn't a second hitch opening for the trailer. I attached a picture that shows it used with a cargo carrier and trailer.
Or if your trailer is an A-frame you could use the bunk adapter... view full answer...
There are a few tire chain options for tire size 285/70R17. If you plan on driving through fairly heavy snow quite often then I would go with a chain-style like Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - Square Link - 1 Pair # TC2327. This will give you optimal traction. If you just plan on using them a few times a year in light snow then I recommend going with a cable-style such as Titan Chain Cable Snow Tire Chains - Ladder Pattern - Steel Rollers - 1 Pair # TC3029; the cables... view full answer...
We carry the Draw Tite hitch part # 75095 which is a confirmed fit for your 1999 Lexus LX 470 which uses the bolt size M14 x 1.50 x 45mm CL10.9 for that rearmost position that you mentioned. view full answer...
The P3, part # 90195 will be a very good brake controller for you. This is one of our most popular because it is easy to install and operate.
If you do not have a trailer connector on your Lexus I recommend part # 119178KIT. This kit comes with the circuit tester to help make sure you find the correct wires behind the tail lights when installing the kit.
You will then need part # ETBC7. This connects to the 4-way connector and the additional wires will need to be hardwired. I have attached... view full answer...
I do have an option for you but there are no direct plug-in 7-ways for a 1999 Lexus LX 470. However, I do have what you need to obtain one and for this you will need two parts, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55365 and the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole part # 37185. That said, this will be your only option as they again do not offer a plug-in 7-way for this particular vehicle.
The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness is plug and play. The Adapter 4-Pole to... view full answer...
The best wireless backup camera we offer which can be viewed on a mobile device is the Rear View Safety WiFi Hitch Backup Camera System part # RVS-83112-WiFi. This unit is battery powered so there will be no wiring involved and it will work just fine with a tablet as it is WiFi capable. The app which is required to use this camera is free and you won't need an active internet signal to use the system. view full answer...
The 2006 Lexus LX470 was not equipped with a factory brake controller. The Tekonsha P-3, part # 90195 that you looked at would be a great choice for you. Brake controllers are not vehicle specific, you can use any brake controller on virtually any vehicle. The P-3 is an excellent unit because of its diagnostic features and its user interface that is easy to read and understand. The P-3 is a proportional type controller which features an internal sensor that can determine how quickly and... view full answer...
The P3 Brake Controller part # 90195 is an excellent choice for a brake controller so you are off to a great start.
To convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install a brake controller all you would need is the part # ETBC7. This comes with everything needed so you would not need the other components you referenced.
I attached an install video plus installation instructions for you to check out as well. view full answer...
The Firestone air bag kit part # F4124 is a confirmed fit for your 2007 Lexus LX 470 and has no fit exceptions for versions of the vehicle that have AHC. It will work great with that system and would not interfere with it in anyway. The ride height changes your vehicle goes through with the AHC would not affect the Firestone bag.
Since the AHC works to level the vehicle if a load is detected you'd want to first put the weight of the trailer on the hitch of the vehicle and let the AHC... view full answer...
If you are wanting to bypass the wiring on your 2006 Lexus LX 470 then I recommend installing the Vehicle Wiring Harness Kit # C59496 for a 4-Way flat and then installing the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 for a fully functioning 7-Way.
The Tekonsha kit will hardwire into your tail lights and you will use the included circuit tester to connect each wire to the proper function. You will then need to run the Black lead wire up to battery so that the trailer lights will draw power directly... view full answer...
I definitely have a solution for you, however as you mentioned in your question a standard friction sway bar like the Reese # 83660 or a full weight distribution system that uses this type of friction sway control cannot be used on trailers with surge brakes. This is because the tension they put on the tongue will limit the movement and effectiveness of the surge coupler (and thus your braking).
With all of that being said, there are still weight distribution systems with integrated sway... view full answer...
Since the Malone Airflow2 bars # MPG216 for your 2007 Lexus LX 470 have channels on top of them the Rhino Rack Sunseeker Awning part # RR32132 would fit and work well. view full answer...
I have a trailer wiring solution for you, but the part # C55365 that you referenced is only designed to fit up to a 1999 Lexus LX470 so I can't recommend it for you.
Instead you would want the # 119178KIT. This is a hardwire kit that will require you to splice into your factory taillight circuits, but it will work once installed. view full answer...
I assume these towing mirrors are for a 2004 Lexus LX 470. If that is the case then I recommend the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors part # CM11980-2 or the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors part # KS3891-2. These mirrors will both do an excellent job of extending your field of view.
The CIPA mirrors will be easier to take on and off the vehicle but the downside of this easy on/off install is that they are not as secure as the K-Source mirrors. The added security from the straps are then... view full answer...
You can use a weight distribution system on a vehicle with a self-leveling rear suspension like your 2001 Lexus LX470. Weight distribution can still be a good idea because it does more than just take out the rear end sag of a vehicle, it also distributes the weight more evenly to all axles of the tow vehicle and trailer.
The way you would set it up is to connect the trailer and allow the suspension to level it. Then you would put the spring bars into position. This may cause the system... view full answer...
It is not recommended to try and use two sets of suspension enhancement on a vehicle for a few reasons. One being that if you were maxing out your vehicle suspension and one set of suspension enhancement you are WAY over the vehicle capacity and you shouldn't be towing that setup any way. Another reason is the ride quality would be so harsh that you would hate it. Also the kits were only tested with the factory suspension by itself so it wouldn't be known how it would react.

If your Lexus crossbars have channels on the top of them you could use the # XADAPT2 to fit your Big Mouth to them but if they do not have channels there isn't a similar adapter and best option would be the current version of the Big Mouth that would fit with the ProRide XT part # TH598004. view full answer...
It sounds like you are looking for a large aluminum roof basket/tray for your 2002 Lexus LX 470 and if that's the case we do have some great options but maybe not exactly what you are looking for due to budget constraints. In regards to the material, aluminum is great because it's super lightweight and durable but one thing it is not is cheap. The Inno Shaper 100 Roof Cargo Basket part # IN569 is our best option for you based on what you described. If you are willing to consider steel,... view full answer...
