Yakima JetStream Crossbars Roof Rack Installation - 2022 Honda CR-V- Video

Yakima JetStream Crossbars Roof Rack Installation - 2022 Honda CR-V

I'm Matt with etrailer and today we're talking about the Yakima roof rack on top of our 2022 Honda CR-V. And it's gonna be a great option if you're going on a trip and you need to store some extra luggage because maybe you have some friends and family with you and you can't put it on inside your vehicle, especially if you already have a hitch that's being used by either a trailer or something else or you don't have a hitch at all. And it's really gonna be good if you have any longer items that you can't fit into the back of your vehicle anyways. It's important you know what kind of roof you have, so way you can check is right now we do have a naked roof and that means we're not gonna have any type of rail on top. You can also get this vehicle with flush rails and that's gonna be something you'll be able to notice because you can get your hands around that and to make sure you're getting the right kit for you you can plug in your vehicle's information into our website before I find the correct fit for you. Speaking of the kit, up top we're gonna have our 50 inch JetStream crossbars. more

Rhino Rack Roof Rack Installation - 2016 Honda Odyssey

Today we have a 2016 Honda Odyssey and we're gonna be taking a look at the rhino rack RT style roof rack track aero bar system. There are two different types of roof rack systems you can put on a naked roof. Typically, what you see is with normal vehicles unlike vans is we have these little clamps that go in the door jams, but since we have this it's preventing us from doing that. So that's why the tracks are gonna be in that fit guide, whenever you put that vehicle in. I really like the track system, just because it gives you the ability to slide these around when it comes to the other style clamp naked roof sets that you may be seeing, we're kind of limited to where we need to put them. Half the time in the instructions it tells you to put it in a specific spot and you're kind of limited there. more

Tow Ready 4-Pole Mounting Bracket Installation - 2012 Honda Odyssey

Now today on our 2012 Honda Odyssey, we'll be installing the tow ready mounting bracket for a 4 pole flat, part number 18144. This vehicle here already has a 4 pole flat installed as well as a trailer hitch receiver. Currently the 4 pole flat is just looped through the safety chain eyelet on the trailer hitch. We're going to go ahead and install the tow ready 4 pole mounting bracket that will get the wiring away from the safety chain loop. As well as keep it a little more secure and protect it. Now in conjunction with the 4 pole flat mounting bracket we're also going to be using the tow ready no-drill mounting bracket in the short style, part number 18140. We'll begin here by connecting the two brackets together with the supplied screw and nut in the two mounting locations. more

Transmission Cooler Installation - 2009 Honda CR-V

Today on our 2009 Honda CRV, we're going to install part number D13502 from Derale. This is their transmission cooler. To start off, we're going to have to remove the front bumper fixture and grill to get access to the condenser for the AC. This is where the transmission cooler will attach to. We'll go ahead and open up the hood and there's a small panel on top with a number of fasteners and pop rivets that we can remove to take off the top panel. Now we'll move to the driver's side, and there will be two screws in the fender well, plus one more plastic rivet on the inside edge of the fender well that we have to remove. more

Yakima Roof Rack Fairing Review - 2012 Honda Civic- Video

Yakima Roof Rack Fairing Review - 2012 Honda Civic

Today on our 2012 Honda Civic sedan, we'll be test fitting the Yakima 44" fairing for roof rack cross bars, part number Y07048. Now with the roof rack system already assembled onto our vehicle, we'll begin our test fit by first undoing the black wing nuts and silver bolts from each end of the fairing. We can then place the clamps over the front cross bar, and replace the silver bolts with the black wing nuts on each end of the fairing and tighten them down, which will secure the fairing to the cross bar. It is important to make sure that the fairing is centered onto the vehicle to help with the aerodynamics of the fairing. And that concludes today's test fit of the 44" fairing for Yakima roof rack cross bars, part number Y07048, on our 2012 Honda Civic sedan. more

Today on our 2007 Honda Civic Sedan, we're going to be test fitting the 44-inch Fairing for Yakima Roof Racks, part number Y07048.

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2009 Honda Odyssey- Video

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2009 Honda Odyssey

Today we are going to install part number 90185 from Tekonsha, the Prodigy Brake Controller, and we will also use T-1 Connector part number 118438. And also we are going to use part number ETBC7 as the install kit for our 7-pole going up to our battery and the brake controller, on a 2009 Honda Odyssey. Our first step involved is we are actually going to install the T-connector first. Normally it installs behind this panel here, gets run underneath this threshold, and usually gets stored in the jack storage compartment. Since we are installing a brake controller and it is going to be using a 7-pole connector on top of it, so what is going to happen is we need to run our wire harness from the inside out. First off, we are going to take off this threshold here. We have to take off these anchor points. There are plastic pins throughout the bottom here, so what you need to do is pull this out gently until they pop out, like so. And once you have them all loose, just a gentle pull, pushing up on it, will pop the pins that are in here. The next step we are going to is we are going to go ahead and remove this panel. We will pull it out just a little bit so we can get access to the plug. The port is located on this assembly right here. It is on the top right-hand corner, and it is usually the only one that is open. And there is a separate ground right here which we attach to the factory ground right here. Next what we will do is we will secure our module here. And we will just put it back here - anywhere where it is convenient back behind the panel here. The next thing we want to do is go ahead and run our wire along the factory harness here, and then it will go straight down. And we have made a dimple right here where we are going to mark our - and drill a hole right here. So we are going to drill out a 1/2-inch hole. We drilled a 1/2-inch hole and installed a little simple, rubber grommet. Now what we are going to do is we are going to cut our wire up here and then we are going to feed it from the outside in. And we will make our reconnection up here. That way, at least we have some connections that are not outside all the time. We will go ahead and tape up our connections now, secure them up. And for now we are going to leave our access just like this. We will just put it underneath there - hide it underneath our carpet. And at this point we can go ahead and start putting the interior back together. more
