This Tongue Extension Kit adds 3' to your Rack and Roll trailer tongue, upgrading the capacity of your trailer from a single 17' or two 16' boats to a single 22' boat or two 21' boats.Added the extension because I am now towing my Yakima trailer with a sport utility vehicle with the spare tire mounted on the back door so I needed the extra length. I also wanted to be about to open the back of the truck with kayaks attached. The extension was perfect and it also rode much better with the added length. I had no side-to-side sway at 65 mph with four kayaks (two 14ft and two 12 ft) and three surf boards. I used to get a pretty decent amount of sway before. Glad I finally invested in this.
Tongue extender for Yakima Rack & Roll trailer. Extender appears to be made of quality material. The internal electrical extension was installed in the tongue backwards, necessitating a removal and rethreading. The instructions didn't mention the presence of a ground wire that had to be connected to the frame on the existing cable harness. Since it was neither mentioned, nor shown in the instruction photos, I foolishly ignored it, and of course the lights didn't work. I had to pull out enough of the harness to splice onto the ground line, then re-pull harness and ground into the tongue. Of course the head of the ground screw twisted off and I had to drill a new hole in the tongue (what is it made of?) for a new ground screw. After all this aggravation the lights worked! I'm happy with the final installation, but feel the directions were serious deficient in discussing the grounding issue.
