Thule 686BXT Atlantis 1600 Rooftop Cargo Box (Black) Top Quality
We purchased the 1600 a few years ago and have been amazed at how useful it is for storing our belongings for long road trips. The box is durable and yet light weight. We had one problem with one of the four cradles that the box sits on where it cracked and fell off. I contacted Thule and at no cost they sent me new and improved cradles. I was able to install them in a snap. I highly recommend this product.Get more detail about Thule 686BXT Atlantis 1600 Rooftop Cargo Box (Black).

Sylvania 3357A/3457A ST SilverStar 29-Watt High Performance Signal Light Order Now
I bought these to replace the front turn signal bulbs on my 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT. Sylvania's website currently lists the wrong replacement bulb for the front turn signals on this vehicle. The 3457A bulbs are the ones you want.
As for the bulbs themselves, I'm very happy with the purchase. When off, the bulbs give a nice blue/purple hue to the turn signal housing. When on, they light up amber just like the stock bulbs did. Also just as an FYI, the amber color looks a little more orange to me than the stock bulb. Overall I am totally satisfied though and highly recommend them.Get more detail about Sylvania 3357A/3457A ST SilverStar 29-Watt High Performance Signal Light.
Reese Towpower 74377 Pod Brake control Decide Now
This is my second POD controller now and I wouldn't buy another kind. I frequently tow 8-10k lbs and this one was flawless. Don't be tempted by the digital ones that have a ball bearing in them. Solid state is the way to go so that it can be mounted any way. The simpler the better in my opinion.Get more detail about Reese Towpower 74377 Pod Brake control.

Save Nokya H11 JDM Yellow Light Bulbs
I enjoy the color of the JDM Yellow bulbs from Nokya. On Nokya's packaging, they warn people about whether you're buying Nokya bulbs or a fake item packaged like it; I know nothing about Nokya's reputation, whether they are a top-of-line company or not. All I know is that I enjoy the bulbs in my fog lamps. I wish I could comment on bulb life, since some colored bulbs have a shorter life than clear bulbs - I've had enough experience about that - but this was a recent purchase to replace an after-market HID light kit using the same yellow 2700K temperature.
About my own fog lamps (where the * comes in): My lamps fit into my 2007 Honda Fit Sport edition. I have had OEM fog lamps on a Ford Explorer and Toyota 4Runner, but have never been happy with the focus of the beam! It's almost as though some car companies make fog lamps only for style and not for function. The Honda Fit actually focuses the light into a very wide and narrow beam, allowing for easy aiming, and the Nokyas put out fabulous light - the combination for my use truly cuts into the fog that I recently drove through.

Discount Yakima Heavy Duty Straps
I bought these straps because I lost one piece of my Mako rack strap system. I ended up finding the Mako-specific piece where I'd misplaced it, but these straps are great to have even if you use your rack-specific straps. You never know when you'll need to secure an extra kayak, other outdoor gear, etc, or make up for a lost or broken strap. The padded latch system is particular nice - no worries about scratching or denting your car, and it is easy to grip to loosen straps.Get more detail about Yakima Heavy Duty Straps.
Cheapest CIPA 11600 Ford Custom Pair Towing Mirrors
These are great. I had bought a universal set and used them on our first trip but they let out a whistle the whole time after 35 mph it was very annoying.

I highly recommend them.Get more detail about CIPA 11600 Ford Custom Pair Towing Mirrors.

Buying Yakima King Cobra Rooftop Upright Bike Rack
Great rack. Easy to put your bike on and take off. The only hitch is that you have to be tall enough to put your bike on the rack and have enough body strength to life your bike onto the rack. With a light weight road bike, it is very fast. With a heavier mountain bike, you have to make sure you are very stable before trying to lift and place the bike on the roof. I use a small kid stool, about 1.5 foot high. This seems to do the trick.
Please note that your gas mileage will suffer. My Civic Hybrid went from 43 mpg to 30 mpg with 2 bikes on the roof. Also note that you will not get into most parking garages. Otherwise, it is a great product and gets the bike out of the way. Just remember that the bikes are on the roof before you enter into a garage.Get more detail about Yakima King Cobra Rooftop Upright Bike Rack.

Cruiser Accessories 73100 Tuf-Shield, Polycarbonate, Clear Immediately
The product description is incorrect. It states:
"Slim rim frame set into perimeter frame (includes four screw covers)
Made of unbreakable polycarbonate
Polycarbonate is UV protected
Each metal frame is carefully hand polished"
I ordered two of them and both were shrink wrapped and neither fit the description. Both are entirely clear polycarbonate frames. Neither had the slim rim frame set in perimeter frame nor any hand polished metal rim as described. Nor were any screw covers included. Items are fine and functional, just not what is described. I'm happy with the shield as is and if it was as described would have rated it higher. I called Amazon and they said they would correct the description within a few days. I'll update this if they do and/or after a season with the shields on.Get more detail about Cruiser Accessories 73100 Tuf-Shield, Polycarbonate, Clear.

Thule 45050 CrossRoad Complete Roof Rack System with Load Bars (50-Inch Bars) Buy Now
Thule products are of very good quality and this is no exception. It works as advertised. The only slight issue I had is that the straps that wrap around the existing rack are seemingly not long enough to wrap around thicker roof rack bars (like my Pathfinder). I was able to get it to work however by sliding the cross bar out of the attaching feet, extending the straps as far as they would possibly go, installing the feet and then sliding the cross bar back through. Also, without any roof carrier attached, the bars do cause some wind noise at higher speeds.Get more detail about Thule 45050 CrossRoad Complete Roof Rack System with Load Bars (50-Inch Bars).

CIPA 36400 Wedge Auto Dimming Rearview Mirror with Compass and Temperature Decide Now
I installed this in my Honda Fit which has no outside temperature gauge. Temperature and compass are accurate and easy to read. In the engine compartment there is a cover over the temp sensor wires, a sort of flexible plastic conduit that is nice. There is no hard plastic cover over the wire between the mirror and headliner, but the conduit covered cables don't look really bad. The mirror dims/undims extremely quickly. It comes with a nice quick disconnect for the power connection at an included inline connector that attaches with pliers.
I think this should have included a hard cover over the cable between the mirror and headliner. Otherwise, it is perfect.Get more detail about CIPA 36400 Wedge Auto Dimming Rearview Mirror with Compass and Temperature.

Low Price TerraLUX TLE-5EX MiniStar2 Extreme LED Upgrade for Mini Maglite 2AA Flashlight
I retired my Maglite 3D a long time ago for my Streamlight. When my life is on the line, I can't afford to have a dim, yellow beam with dark spots. But for those situations where a tactical light is just overkill, this little baby still finds it's way into my tool box. I actually still keep several of these around. They've all been modified with Terralux Tail Cap Switches. One with a red lamp in the glove box so that I don't ruin my night vision or have that bright glare in the windshield. Another converted with a 140 lumen LED that I keep around for peeking under the hood. No homeowner should be without an ultraviolet lamp for checking his sheets for semen when he returns from work. Wives lie. Forensics don't. With a little imagination, a roll of duct tape, some bailing wire, a pack of zip ties, and some double sided mounting adhesive; there's no telling what you could do. I can't count the number of times I've used my Mini-Maglite, a Swiss Army Knife, a paperclip, and a piece of gum to get me out of a jam.

Cheapest Vision X HIL-SLR Blue Red LED With 3 Foot Cord - Pack of 4
Bought these for around $2.50 when they were on sale. So the price its selling for now is 4 times too much to start. But once you get it, its just disappointing sitting in its box. Opened one of the boxes, looked as pointless in the box, as it did out of it. Looks pointless to put in since the effort far exceeds the potential reward. I connected them to the car battery one day, light seemed whatever, and definitely confirmed my initial thoughts. Anyways, maybe if you bought 4 of these and made a big ball or something, it might look good, but still, its not worth the effort or the price (selling for 10 dollars). Anyways, I didn't think the pictures above did this product justice, so I uploaded some from my camera phone. Hope this helps make your decision a little bit easier.

Buying Yakima BowDown Rooftop Kayak Rack with Tie Down
I purchased two sets to carry two kayaks on our 2005 Honda CRV. They mounted easily on the factory roof rack and I secured them from theft with the optional SKS (Same Key System) locks. Loading and securing the kayaks, on their side, on the Bowdown is easy (with the use of a foot stool to reach and pull the straps over the kayak). The kayaks are very secure and we were able to travel at highway speed without concern. The racks fold and lock in the down postion when not in use, thus not having to take them off to park in our garage. I would give them five stars except when driving they whistle. I was able to isolate the whistle to the waffle configuration on the top of the racks. I highly recommend them.Get more detail about Yakima BowDown Rooftop Kayak Rack with Tie Down.

Purchase Thule LB50 Roof Rack Load Bars (50-Inch, Set of 2)
These bars work really well, but there are two things to know:
1) the end caps are pictured, but are NOT included with these. The end caps come with the foot pack or can be purchased separately
2) when you attach things like Thule bike racks or ski attachments, the plastic skin can become cut by tightening the attachments to the bar. This can lead to rust and failure over the very long term. They should have used a tiny bit tougher plastic skin.
Be sure to use the end caps or they will rust from the inside out.Get more detail about Thule LB50 Roof Rack Load Bars (50-Inch, Set of 2).

Where To Buy Valley Tow 53410 Hitch Aligner
You need this if you are going to hitch a trailer by yourself. It saves lots of time. I saved the packaging and put it right back in the package when I am done and store it on my trailer. It is sold by Amazon and is the cheapest product I could find... with free shipping included. I don't think it will fall apart any time soon, but if the foam balls come off any time soon, I will apply some elmers glue. i think the keay to long life is putting them back in their "case" and keeping them out of the son. They have the standard antenna extension, so I would keep them away from kids. I have busted up many antennas during my child hood. Happy recreating.Get more detail about Valley Tow 53410 Hitch Aligner.

PIAA 1192 Platinum 1100X Super White Dichroic Driving Lamp - Set of 2
I just got these lights installed the other night. They are really bright. I've even had people flash thier high-beams at me (maybe need to do some adjustment there).
For me the installation was very easy since my car already had 55 Watt factory installed fog lights. So I did not use the wiring harness/relay/fuse/switch that came with the lights. I just adapted the factory connectors from my old lights to the PIAA lights so the plug right into the existing wiring.
If you don't already have 55Watt rated system you definitly will want to use the PIAA wiring harness. That's a bit of a hassle and extra work, but the lights are really nice. Very small, if you are looking for small, but don't underestimate the smallness for brightness. Now I'll have to see how they work over time and how reliable they are.

Thule 232 Step Up Wheel Step Immediately
This step is a great idea for those who put their skis/snowboards on the roof of the SUV. We used to stand on the tire itself or on the 2nd row seats but decided there had to be a better way. This step is easy to adjust and feels very stable. Now we don't have to do the gymnastics any more.
Now the bad news. We used it at the house to load up, at the slopes to unload and to reload and then at home again to unload. A weld on one of the buckles broke making the step unusable. The unit is riveted together so there is no way to replace just the broken part. Thule has a good warranty and Amazon has provided great support. Amazon is sending out a replacement. Hopefully the new one won't develop the same problem.

Thule 822 Bed Rider 2-Bike Truck Bed Mount Rack Best Quality
Easy install; took minutes to adjust and rack my bike. Bought for a '08 Tacoma short bed and had no problems with it becoming loose when I took it on the highway. It holds my bike securely and tight. The rack has a turn-key lock system that prevents anyone from twisting it off your truck bed and running away with it when you're out riding. The fork blocks you mount your bike on allow any type of cable lock to pass through them and give you the extra security. The fork blocks do not lock so I recommend buying a good cable lock.Get more detail about Thule 822 Bed Rider 2-Bike Truck Bed Mount Rack.
