• How To Add Taillights to the Thule EasyFold Bike Rack
  There a few options to add tail lights to the Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack part # TH903202. You could use the brackets part # BK70BB and LED light kit part # 98174LED which is designed to add lights to cargo carriers. Since the rack is plastic the only way to really allow these to mount is to use zip ties. This would be the only semi permanent solution to adding the brackets to the bottom of the bike rack.

• Least Expensive Way to Carry Two 75 Lb Electric Bikes on 2016 Ram 1500
  I have a suggestion for you, but unfortunately, we're not going to have a hitch mounted bike rack for electric bikes that's going to fit into your budget. Most of our e-bike racks max out at 60 lbs per bike, so your least expensive options are going to be either the Swagman E-Spec # S94FR, with a capacity of 70 lbs per bike, or the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY74FR, with a capacity of 80 lbs per bike -- both over budget. If you're able to utilize your truck bed to carry your e-bikes,...

• Which Type of Flat Towing Lighting Set-Up to Use for 2011 GMC Terrain
  The easiest type of flat towing lighting kit is the magnetic type like the Optronics # TLL21RK. These take only moments to install and are easily removed and stored when you're not flat towing.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2006 Chevrolet Aveo
  Based on your previous questions, I believe you are looking for a base plate kit and tow bar to flat tow your 2006 Chevrolet Aveo behind a motorhome or another vehicle.

• Both Turn Signals Blink on MaxxTow Tow Lights # MT70097 When Tow Vehicle Signals Are On
  If both the left and right turn signals on your MaxxTow Tow Lights MT70097 blink when either turn signal is activated on the tow vehicle the first thing to check is the condition of both connectors. Since the left- and right-turn signal circuits on a 4-pole are adjacent to each other (green and yellow wires), it is possible that corrosion in the connector can cause these two separate circuits to become bridged together. This condition could also explain the dim light output, since two...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  Since you are only going to tow the vehicle once I recommend renting a vehicle trailer at the same time you rent the truck.

To flat tow the vehicle you would first check the owners manual to make sure your model can be flat towed and to check on any special requirements. You would have to have base plates, a tow bar, safety...
