Video Transcript for etrailer.com Cargo Carriers Replacement Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin and Clip Review

Hi, everyone. Adam from etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the replacement anti-rattle bolt for our Off Road Cargo Carrier and our normal 24X60 Cargo Carrier. They do come with the kit but sometimes things get lost. If that's the case, go and pick up one of these up on our website or if the threads just started maybe cross-threading into your cargo carrier, you don't necessarily want to keep torquing that down, you're going to just grab one really quick here at etrailer.com.So, we are going to have replacements for the two inch hitch receivers and also our two and a half inch hitch receivers. But with those, for our cargo carriers from etrailer, we are going to have to grab a reducer sleep.

There's a couple that we have here at etrailer.com. This one in particular is our Blue Ox and basically if you are using a two and a half inch hitch receiver, you will need a sleeve like so, but it's just going to be the exact same size as the one that you bought previously. It's going to thread in just like normal and really easily just because it is brand new.Once you get it all the way down, that's going to act the same as before and just replace your clip or pin through your bolt. And it's going to be the same exact thing for our two inch as well. So, if you lost it or if it's just not in great shape anymore, you can just go ahead and grab one of these at etrailer.com.

So, on the two and a half inch, we are going to have a 15/16 bolt size on that side and it's going to be the same exact thing for our two inch as well, it's going to be that 15/16, which is going to be the same as the one that you get with your carrier.So, as you can see here with this new anti rattle bolt, I can just fish this in by hand really easily. If you guys are feeling any resistance with your carrier and your anti-rattle bolt, that's not necessarily how it needs to be. It really should be pretty easy to get in there and tighten it all up. So, instead of frying the threads on the inside of your carrier, I think it'd be the best bet to actually just go ahead and grab yourself another anti-rattle bolt, just to keep everything smooth and easy when you're loading, unloading your carriers.So, etrailer also has a hitch alignment collar here and that's just going to help whenever you put it in there, it's going to align your anti-rattle bolt hole up perfectly so you can thread it in by hand almost every time. We do offer these with some of our carriers, but we actually sell replacements as well.

So, if you have other two inch hitch accessories that you want to throw that on, just to make it a little bit easier for yourself, I would suggest it.And this alignment collar honestly will help the life of your anti-rattle bolt just because it will get that hole line up perfectly every time, just so you're not really battling it and having that risk of cross threading those threads. So, if you do end up grabbing a replacement anti-rattle bolt, I would definitely suggest grabbing one of these hitch alignment collars just because it's going to help prolong the life of that new anti-rattle.Well, everyone that just about does it for both our two and a half an anti-rattle bolt and our two inch. So, if you have one of our awesome cargo carriers, go ahead and grab one of these if you need it.
