Thule 914 Roadway 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (1.25 and 2-Inch Receiver) Top Quality


Do NOT trust the rubber straps to hold your bike on! I had 2 bikes both on the front of the rack as I was supposed to. I strapped them in very tight and put the blue cable around them for extra security. Plus, I had a bike lock wrapped around both of the frames. I wasn't on the highway for 10 minutes when one of the bikes popped off. Luckily it was strapped tightly to both the rack and the other bike so it dragged behind my car until I could get off the highway. I'm in the process of making a warranty claim to Thule so they can fix the damages to my bike. So far their claim rep has been nice but doesn't seem to think that they're going to pay for anything. My only shot is that there is a small fray in one of the rubber straps.

Overall, I actually really like the rack. The lesson that I learned is that I need to use lots of extra straps to make sure the bikes can't move AT ALL. Also, I wouldn't recommend using this rack with a car, even if you have a hitch. The weight of the bikes pushes the shocks down so the bikes bounce around a lot more.Get more detail about Thule 914 Roadway 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (1.25 and 2-Inch Receiver).

Bestop 74605-01 AMP Research Bed X-Tender Mounting Kit This instant


I like these latches as they make it easy to remove it when I don't need the extender and works well with my bed cover where otherwise I wouldn't be able to use the bed xtender to the profile and bars of the bed cover. The reason I don't give these latches 5 stars is due to the fact that removing the xtender from the right side requires a bit more force. Maybe I installed the the latches wrong or the bed xtender is off a bit, regardless, I tries to adjust both and couldn't get it fixed. Still a good product. Allows me to use the bed to carry extra loads or even put groceries in there without take cabin space.Get more detail about Bestop 74605-01 AMP Research Bed X-Tender Mounting Kit.

Before this 3M product, I previously purchased two other restoration kits which did not work without the use of a household drill.

Bully CR-018 LED Skull Hitch Cover Buy Now


I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this product. It is heavy, well chromed metal skull, which looks much better in real. With leds on - it gives nice glowing effect. Comes with two types of attachment for different types of receiver hitch, so it should fit your hitch in any case, but I am not sure about wire plug. It fitted by vehicle, but payed attention that there are some sockets of different shape. In any case, it should be very easy to wire it up as you like Get more detail about Bully CR-018 LED Skull Hitch Cover.

Lowest Price Thule 450 CrossRoad Railing Roof Rack Foot Pack (Set of 4)


I have been a fan (and owner) of Thule products for well over a decade. These feet work very well on the factory Honda Pilot roof rails (09/10). I was a bit concerned about the rubber strap that wraps under the bottom, but it seems to be VERY thick and durrable - no concerns anymore. Unlike some of my old Thule feet, these engaged very easily with the load boars and the simple allen screw tightened everything up very smoothly.

Note that these are only for the square load bars, not the aero ones. The end caps have a knock out for the Thule locks - which not included with the feet.Get more detail about Thule 450 CrossRoad Railing Roof Rack Foot Pack (Set of 4).

Low Price Camco 41313 RV 12V-15W Fluorescent Light Bulb


I love the light bulbs. I have 3 of them hooked to my solar panel in my shed. With only a 7Ah battery, I can run all 3 of them for almost 2 hours. They are dim when they turn on like any other CFL, but quickly get brighter. I would recommend them to anybody with a 12 volt system. One of them was broken upon delivery and I simply contacted Amazon.com and they sent me a new one and paid for the return postage of the broken one. It couldn't have been easier!Get more detail about Camco 41313 RV 12V-15W Fluorescent Light Bulb.

This little rack can pack a lot of gear and you hardly know it's there. It didn't make a lot of noise like other racks I have had have done in the past.

Cheapest Dynamat 19100 License Plate Kit


I had read the other review that praised how Dynamat handled the rattles when the trunk was slammed shut. I honestly can't vouch for that either way, because my license plate didn't rattle when I shut my trunk to begin with (4 holding screws instead of 2 solved that problem).

I bought this kit for a solely different purpose -- to eliminate rattles that happened because of my 12" Rockford Fosgate sub. The rattling of the license plate got to be very annoying, even though the plate was screwed in as tightly as possible. Since Dynamat is naturally known for sound isolation for car audio, and because they specifically say "Vibrations passed to the license plate from the bass energy in the vehicle cause license plate rattle" in the product description, I figured I found the answer to my problems.

Not even close.

I knew before making this purchase that the size of the Dynamat provided in this kit is smaller than the overalll license plate. I followed their generic instructions as best as possible -- who were made for general Dynamat installation, not for this particular kit. This means that there was no mentioning of the foam strips, no license plate frame installation, etc. I consider myself to be pretty adept at screwing in a license plate frame, so I didn't overthink the job. I also assumed that the sticky foam strips should be placed right on the edges of the license plate so that the plate should be supported.

End result? No difference. The license plate rattles as much (not more, not less, exactly the same) as it did before. Considering that both the other reviewer and I agree that the plate frame is cheezy, I didn't use the plate frame either.

So I'm out $12, and my license plate frame still rattles...

Don't waste your money on this, buy the larger size Dynamat and forego the crappy frame. That way you'll be able to pad the whole license plate, and hopefully that should solve the rattle problem. Hopefully.

Where To Buy Classic Accessories 71022 PolyPro SUV/Pickup Cover, Full Size


There are more robust covers out there, but then the price point goes way up. This one seems to do just fine and the price is reasonable. Mine is covering my truck outside under a tree, and so far it has held up just fine. The attached stuff sack for storage is nice, as is the included nylon cord that secures the cover to the vehicle. It's not waterproof (it never claimed to be) but as long as you don't mind the vehicle getting wet when it rains, it's fine. It does keep the sun and the tree sap off of the paint. No complaints so far.Get more detail about Classic Accessories 71022 PolyPro SUV/Pickup Cover, Full Size.

Shop For Bully CR-017F Oval LED Hitch Brake Light


After only a month of having this hitch brake light installed, I've gotten at least 10 comments on it from people. The Ford oval lights up with a pleasant Ford blue when the headlights are on and a bright, brilliant red when you step on the brakes! It looks great and is a great addition to your Ford truck! Some simple assembly is required before you can install it, but it's only 4 screws that secure the body to the light...a couple of minutes is all it takes and it's ready to go right into the receiver hitch.

I'd buy another one and would recommend it to my friends! Get more detail about Bully CR-017F Oval LED Hitch Brake Light.

Yakima Super Joe 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack Review


This rack is solid and mounts on my Civic sedan easily. If I wanted to, I could mount the rack without opening the trunk. As far as trunk racks go, it's as good as any which means it has some inherent problems: Straps need to be tightened and loosened to put the rack on an tak it off; Bikes are packed together so pedals engage spokes; universal bike mounts are acceptable, but not a perfect fit. When a bike rack manufacturer fixes any of those problems they'll get 5 stars. I use this rack to haul 2 mountain bikes about 10 miles on a weekly basis. I am totally satisfied with my purchase.Get more detail about Yakima Super Joe 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack.

Master Lock 2841AT Adjustable Height Zero Tilt Ball Mount This instant


I bought this hitch because my truck (Toyota Tacoma) has a 6 inch lift and this hitch gave a pretty good drop. The idea behind this product is great, but the product is junk. This will do what you need it to do (pull a trailer at the proper height), but there is a lot of play (wiggle) in the adjustment area of the hitch. If you are pulling a trailer that you don't care much about and you also don't care much about your tow vehicle than this is what you want. I anticipate that if I use this hitch very much that it will break because of the excessive play and cause me big problems.

GE Nighthawk SPORT 9005NHS/BP Automotive Replacement Bulbs, Pack of 1 Decide Now


I purchased these bulbs to replace my stock lamps which had still not burned out after 4.5 years of service. I considered Silverstar Ultra's first but I saw several reviews reporting very short lifespan. The Nighthawk Sports may not be as bright as Silverstars (which is probably why they last longer). They do seem brighter than stock lamps and definitely have a cooler color. The color is much closer to pure white verging on bluish.

Where To Buy Transformers Autobots Sticker (Decal) - 5.5"


We ordered the Autobot sticker and then we decided we needed 2 more... when the first one came we were dismayed to see that we were charged $8.99 shipping on a $1.99 sticker (it's not like it arrived in a speedy fashion). We said at least the next 2 stickers are coming together and we will only be socked with the shipping once - but we were wrong. The stickers came together but we were charged $6.00 for one sticker and $5.99 for the other even though they came in the same envelope together and with no additional packaging than if it had been the one sticker. So the 3 stickers, at $1.99 each, actually cost us $27!!! So in conclusion, look elsewhere.Get more detail about Transformers Autobots Sticker (Decal) - 5.5".

BEE-OTCH WINDOW DECAL Top Quality


I bought this sticker for my car. I had originally planned on placing it on the back window, but after it arrived I noticed that it is transparent all around the lettering so, if it is place on a slightly tinted transparent surface, the lettering is not going to show up. I ended up placing it on my back bumper instead. My car is white, so it shows up very well. It would probably not be good to buy for a dark colored vehicle though... only because the letters would not show up.Get more detail about BEE-OTCH WINDOW DECAL.

Thule 605 Ascent 1700 Rooftop Cargo Box (Black) Immediately


The cargo box was delivered several days earlier than expected. It was super easy to install. If you plan to install one of these, first measure the distance between your cross bars before you hoist the cargo box to the top of the vehicle. The mounting hardware inside the cargo box does adjust a little bit, but you may need to reposition your own cross bars first, as I did. Aside from that, super easy installation, was ready to use within 15 minutes. Don't try to go through an automatic carwash with one of these on your rig or you may be sorry! (I didn't, but met someone who forgot theirs was atop their vehicle and was told it ripped the darn thing off along with their cross bar. Not good!). The locking mechanism to the cross bars works well and the cargo box is easy to open, close and lock. I suggest you mount it to one side or the other on the top of your vehicle and not in the center position for ease of loading/unloading. No problems, no complaints, am happily satisfied with this purchase. Get more detail about Thule 605 Ascent 1700 Rooftop Cargo Box (Black).

Valley 76820 Silent Hitch Pin Best Quality


I bought this locking pin to replace the anti rattle pin i have for my performancebike xsport flatbad bike rack. OOPS! Is all I can really say. This pin is way too large for the bike rack but no worries as I'm keeping it for my D-Receiver and regular ball receiver.

The unit feels very sturdy and is quite heavy for it's small stature. It's well made and once assemble will be very solid. When cranking down on this thing engaging the threads use a wrench or ratchet as the included tool is meant to be give to your 6 year old :)

Note: If you are looking for an anti-rattle locking pin for a bike rack make sure you search for just that, 5/8 inch locking pins for 2 inch receivers will give you a pin much too large for bike racks. Those type of anti wobble locking pins are out there but are hard to find for a fair price.
