First were going to stick the bottom half of the assembly into the hitch, we will start from there. Next well start installing the outriggers they will go on the bottom and support the cargo carrier itself. The next step we need to do is go ahead and install the wire harness. What we need to do first is go ahead and unpin the hinge mechanism and unfold it so we have plenty of working room to run our wires. Now we can go ahead and install our wiring, first we will install a zip tie loosely around the tube and then we will run our wires through it and then snug it up to secure it, to keep it from moving anywhere. We will leave all the zip ties reasonably loose for now, because we still have to work around and make sure we have plenty of length where the plugs connect to the cargo carrier as well as to the vehicle. Next thing we need to do is take apart the tray from the cargo box itself. We will go ahead and close the fold mechanism back up and we will start building on top of that. more

The first feature of this we will show you is the most obvious one. It is a nice one piece all enclosed unit to carry all your materials in. As you can see it is all one piece construction with no seams, also there is a drain hole in case something does spring a leak inside. Also what is really nice about this is that this is actually two products in one. You have enclosed carrier and you also have a tray on the bottom that you can use to carry your equipment too that does not quite fit in the enclosed section. We will show you how to take that apart with the two latches at the bottom. If you notice there are a variety of slots all around the perimeter of the tray itself, those are there to put down your tie down hooks. Put them in there and they will catch on the side or vice versa and secure your cargo. One nice feature about this is the built in tail light assemblies in case what you are carrying blocks off the tail lights you have on your vehicle you always have those for back up. Also if you plan to keep your cargo carrier on your vehicle for extended vacation or something like that, some states require you not to have your license plate blocked. This unit has provisions where you can screws to attach a license plate right here and here so your plate would end up mounting about like this. Also on top, there is two dimples here for an additional accessory that you can install that will allow you to have a license plate light. One of the most obvious features also on this rack is the swing away portion of it. This is so you can get into the back of your vehicle if you need to. As you can see this is a full featured carrier, actually two carriers in one. Its size, shape and appearance goes with a lot of small SUVs out there. This part # 59109, the swing away cargo carrier. more

We will start off by installing the base into our 2 inch receiver hitch and installing the anti-sway mechanism. To install our anti-sway device, we have to install this bolt, this lock washer and this flat washer. And what happens, it goes into the assembly here, into your 2 inch receiver hitch, and we just simply thread it down tight. Get as far as you can with your hand and then Thule provides a tool to tighten it down with. All you have to do is snug it, you do not have to give it a lot of force. Then it all becomes one piece of your hitch. Now were going to assemble our lock assembly, and what we need to do is insert this core into our lock and we will do that by using our pass key. Hold the lock core down, pull out your key and try it with the actual key. And then, take out your plug and check the operation of the lock. Once you have that accomplished, we can go ahead and install our anti-sway device. more
