Expert Answers about Dock Accessories


  • Is the Thule DockGrip Compatible with the Yakima OverHaul HD Ladder Rack
  • I'm happy to inform you that the Thule DockGrip Kayak Carrier, part # TH895, will work with a Yakima OverHaul HD Ladder Rack. OverHaul HD Ladder Racks like part # Y01151-5855 have a T-slot for loading accessories. The DockGrip uses this T-slot, so they are perfectly compatible. If you let me know which truck you have, I can recommend which OverHaul HD will work for you. I've linked to a video review of the DockGrip below.

  • Will the Thule T-track Accessories Work on the Yakima JetStream Crossbars
  • The Thule DockGrip Kayak and SUP Carrier with Tie-Downs part # TH895 is perfectly compatible with the Yakima JetStream Crossbars like part # Y00426. Like you said T-track and T-slot and the other track mounted accessories are interchangeable among the main manufacturers. On occasion the tee portion of the T-slot bolt of the accessory but it can be filed down slightly to fit into your slot. It is generally only a 1/16" that makes the difference.

  • Will Thule Replacement Shank Adapter Work with Thule 925 Docking Station
  • The best option for you is a reducer like # HT02. This reducer transforms your 2" receiver into a 1-1/4". This lets you use all your 1-1/4" hitch accessories, such as bike racks, cargo carriers, or ballmounts with a 2" hitch. I have included a video review of this part for you to check out.

  • What Type of Axle Does the Taylor Made Dock Accessories Roll In Wheels Require
  • The Taylor Made Roll-In Dock Wheel part # 3691224 is designed to fit a pretty particular application as wheels that can be added to a Taylor MAde Dock to help roll it in and out of the water. It requires a 1-5/8" - 1-15/16" diameter axle. In this case that can be a stiff pipe with that diameter that allows you to slide the wheel on then use a clevis pin to secure it. It could also be large bolts that you could do the same with it. Just keep in mind these are not for any type of on road...

  • Can Thule Accessories Be Used With Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Crossbars On 2019 Chevy Colorado
  • The majority of roof mounted accessories won't work with the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars for the exception of select Rhino Rack accessories using adapters. The reason for this is because the size of the crossbars are simply too large. Therefore, you' be much better off using a more standard size crossbar. The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars System is a better option. In order to use the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars System on a 2019 Chevrolet Colorado you'll need part...

  • Does Replacement Hitch Bolt # Y8780022 Have a Weight Capacity
  • Bike rack hitch pins like the Replacement Hitch Bolt, Nut and Clip for Yakima Bike Racks and DryDock Load Assist # Y8780022 do not have individual weight capacities beyond what the weight capacity is for the accessory you use it with. Sounds like you are looking for a different threaded hitch pin accessory solution though and weren't planning to use this with a Yakima rack it was designed for. This was designed for: Big Horn 4 (Y02404) Dry Dock (Y02449, Y02449-3, or Y02589) KingPin 4...

  • Hitch Lock for a Yakima Hitch-Mounted Accessory
  • We have a hitch lock for your Yakima hitch accessory! While the Replacement Hitch Bolt, Nut and Clip, part # Y8780022, does not come with a lock, you can use Yakima's hitch lock, part # Y07235, with this bolt (or the bolt that came with your Yakima accessory) to give you the Same-Key-System for that additional security. I've linked to a video review of this lock for you to look at.

  • The Replacement Hitch Bolt, Nut and Clip for Yakima Bike Racks and DryDock Load Assist - 2" Hitches part # Y8780022 you referenced is not designed for use with 1 1/4" hitches. I have several different models of Replacement Hitch bolts for the Yakima products.

  • Accessories for Truck Hero Elevate Rack System like Load Stops or Tie Down Loops?
  • There are a couple of accessories for the Truck Hero Elevate Rack System part # TH92FR currently available like the Tie-Down Kit for Truck Hero Elevate Rack System - Qty 4 part # TH52FR this will give you 4 tie downs that can be put on the base sliding rails or on the cross bars themselves. They look very much like cleats like you see on a boat dock giving you the attachment point that you need to secure your cargo. They would also work as load stops to prevent whatever you have loaded...

  • Best Bike Rack and SUP Carrier for a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
  • We have a few options for bike racks and SUP racks for roof racks. Your 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe with factory racks will not have a lot of space to carry both. With that in mind, the best combination to make use of this space is the Thule ProRide XT, part # TH598004, with the Thule DockGrip, part # TH895. The ProRide XT is a frame mount bike rack that clamps onto your factory bars. It takes up minimal space (only 13" wide) on crossbars, leaving plenty of room for other accessories. It features...

  • Best Roof Rack And Kayak Carrier For A 2011 Audi A4 Sedan
  • For a roof rack capable of hauling a kayak and kayak carrier, I recommend using the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars part # RRVA118B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK208 in addition to our Thule DockGrip Kayak Carrier part # TH895. This will be the best option for your budget and as far as noise reduction goes as the aero bars will provide a much quieter ride in comparison to round/square cross bars. Another more economical option involves our Inno Square Crossbar Roof Rack part # INB127,...

  • Will Two Thule Hullavator Pro Carriers Fit on a 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe?
  • The Hullavator is a very popular kayak carrier due to its awesome load-assist function. Many have asked if they can load two on their vehicle, but it's a rare few that can do so as it would require at least 57" crossbar length and a strong roof weight capacity to carry the heavy carriers and the kayaks. One would have to consider the roof rack weight plus the almost 80 lbs of the two carriers plus the kayak weight. For your 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe, you have a roof weight capacity of 220...

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover with Rails for 2019 Ford Ranger For Kayak or SUP Transport
  • For your 2019 Ford Ranger I recommend the Pace Edwards UltraGroove Metal Hard Tonneau Cover - Retractable - Aluminum - Matte Black # 311-KMFA31A62 for a 6 foot bed or # 311-KMFA30A61 for a 5 foot bed. The The T-tracks on the UltraGroove are designed to work with roof rack crossbars and other accessories. To add a set of crossbars to these tracks I recommend the Yakima 60 inch JetStream Bars # Y00425 along with the Landing Pad # Y00221 and Towers # Y53TR to attach them to the tracks. If...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2011 Chevy Traverse
  • The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2011 Chevy Traverse is the Draw Tite hitch part # 75528 because it has the best capacity, is a 2 inch size which is most popular size for hitch accessories, and it installs very easily. I attached a video that shows it installed on a similar 2011 Traverse for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring to allow your vehicle to control the taillights of the trailer you'd want the T-One kit part # 118450 because it installs without requiring any hardwiring....

  • Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2017 Jeep Renegade
  • The WingBar Evo term is simply the new name for Thule's AeroBlade bars. Both the old and new bars include a top T-Slot channel that allows a second way to attach compatible accessory carriers but their Glide and Set kayak carrier 883 is NOT compatible with either generation of aero bar. I confirmed this with Thule. But we can help you with a nice new silver Thule roof rack and I recommend the Evo Raised Rail system, parts # TH711400 and # TH710401, if you have raised roof rails. These...

  • Assisted Kayak Carrier Options for 2013 Ford Focus ST with Thule Roof Rack
  • At one point Curt did require the use of the stabilizer straps with their 1-1/4 inch hitches like the # C11431 that you referenced but they recently got rid of this requirement. So if you used this hitch with the Curt hitch adapter part # C45785 and the Rhino Rack T-Load part # RTL002 you would not need to use the strap. You should note that this hitch is Class I and the hitch adapter you mentioned is for Class II only so you'd instead need the adapter part # HTAD which is compatible with...
