Replacement Rubber Straps For The Rhode Gear 4 Bike Hitch Shuttle Bike Rack
Question:
On another note, any recommendations re: wiring harness for the Curtis hitch for a 08 Toyota Highlander
asked by: George
Expert Reply:
I called my contact at Yakima and they informed me that they currently do not make nor stock replacement parts for the Rhode Gear 4 Bike Hitch Shuttle anymore. However, I suggest trying the Replacement Rubber Straps for Yakima BedRoc and Older Big Horn Models part # Y8820103 as these are very similar to your current support straps and according to the Yakima representative, should work for you. I would also agree with this statement as they do look very similar though, but since they have not been specifically tested together, we cannot guarantee fitment.
The straps are 7-3/4" long with the inside diameter of each circle measuring 3/4" wide. If you have similar measurements for your current straps, then these may work for you.

I would like to purchase a Class III hitch for 2008 Toyota Highlander. My question: Does the hitch sold by eTrailer require any cutting or can simply install onto frame using existing holes?
