• Using Kayak Carrier Along With Thule Canyopn Rooftop cargo Basket TH859XT
  Thule does not offer any kayak carrier accessory that can be fitted to their Canyon rooftop cargo basket # TH859XT. I called my most well-seasoned Thule contact and she confirmed no such product is on the drawing board for the future. In truth, even if such an item was available, it might not be your best option. Since kayak weights vary from the low 30s for smaller sit-on types up to the 140s for well-equipped fishing kayaks the vehicle roof capacity can come into play. The Canyon basket...

• Wheel Step That Works With 2017 Ram 3500
  The Powerbuilt Adjustable Tire Step # ALL647596 may be an option as it is a universal mount which is going to fit any tire that is 13" wide or less. It is 21-1/2" long and has a weight capacity of 300 lbs. I also recommend taking a look at the Folding Wheel Step, # PT68ZR which is a universal mount that hangs on your tire and also fits any tire up to 13 inches wide. To determine if you can use these, you need to measure the width of your 28-inch diameter tires. If those don't work,...

• Thule Motion XT & Sonic XL Cargo Box Fits on 2007 Subaru Outback & 2013 Subaru Crosstrek
  It is easy to find out if the Thule Motion XT # TH629706 rooftop cargo box will fit your vehicles' factory bars and also allow your rear hatches to open without any interference. First, let's talk about bar fit. Both carriers have mounting hardware that will fit on factory crossbars up to 3-1/2-inches wide x 1-11/16-inches tall. Just measure your bars to confirm they are compatible with the mounting hardware. Second, we will consider the bar spread on each car. Both boxes work on crossbars...

• Recommended Winch for Lifting Platform in Garage
  While you certainly could use a worm gear winch such as # DL11001, I recommend using the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL10976, which is designed for what you are trying to do. This winch can be mounted to your ceiling and you can use Hex Shaft # DL406102 which will allow a drill to crank it, and you'll also want Hand Winch Cable with Safety Hook # DL24045. This winch has a capacity of 2,000 lbs which will be more than enough for your 300 lbs of gear.

• Is There A Longer Handle Available For A Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Hitch
  Curt currently only offers a standard size replacement handle with part # C58UR for the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120. My father has the same issue with his Silverado and B&W Companion and just keeps a folding 2-step ladder in the bed to pull the handle as well as to help him get in and out of the bed to get firewood out. I recommend picking up a really compact ladder like the Telesteps Folding Step Stool # TE97FR to help reach the handle.

• Alternate EasySnap Mounting Kit TH05820 Compatibility with Thule Summit Cargo Box 631
  The original mounting hardware for the Thule Summit rooftop cargo box 631 is similar to the current QM3 kit # TH04997. The EasySnap hardware you mentioned has been discontinued so is no longer an option. Any extra holes in the bottom of the box that will no longer be needed for the new hardware kit can be sealed up using silicone sealant # LT37467. You might consider the handy folding Telestep's step # TE97FR for use with the cargo box. This aluminum step comes fully assembled, is very...

• Low-Profile Rooftop Cargo Box for 2016 Mazda CX-5
  Most rooftop cargo boxes are fairly tall, in the range of 14- to 18-inches. A few are slightly shorter and a few are slightly taller. Some boxes, such as the Thule Motion XT # TH629707, have recessed mounting points on their bottom surfaces where the roof rack bars will fit. This is shown in the linked photo and helps reduce the total added height of the box. Other rooftop boxes like the Malone Cargo12 # MPG901 do not have this feature. An excellent choice of box when garage clearance...

• Alternate Mounting Hardware for Yakima SpaceBooster Cargo Box on 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon
  It is not a huge deal to add a few new mounting holes to the bottom of an ABS plastic cargo box like the Yakima SpaceBooster. A cordless drill and appropriately-sized drill bit will make short work of it. I would avoid using a heated implement for making the holes since it could be a bit messy and could make it harder to control the size of the hole. The things to keep in mind are that you want to drill no more additional holes than absolutely necessary so measure, check and re-check....

• Lightweight Portable Step for Use with Thule Force Rooftop Cargo Box on Tall SUV
  You are correct that the size and weight of heavy-duty steps like # S-150 and # SASXLA-09C-G make them less than ideal for transport inside a rooftop cargo box like the Thule Force XT # TH6356B. Odds are if you are using a roof box you do not have space in the vehicle to store one of these steps. Handy as they are their best application is as an entry step for folks towing a large trailer such as a 5th wheel that has substantial cargo storage space built-in. But anyone using a rooftop...

• J-Style Kayak Carriers for Use on Subaru Outback Factory Crossbars
  J-style kayak carriers like Rhino-Rack # S510 are easy to use since they face outward away from the car's roof for easier loading. But we do offer multi-kayak carriers like the Yakima JayLow # Y04073, also a J-style, that can carry one or two kayaks depending on how you set it up. Another multi-kayak carrier, the Stacker from Thule # TH830, allows transport of up to 4 kayaks on the one carrier. Videos for both carriers are linked for you. All carriers compatible with your Subaru factory...

• Compatibility of Yakima Skybox 21 Roof Cargo Box Y07337 with Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack
  The Yakima SkyBox 21 Black Carbonite Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07337 does indeed mount on aero-style roof rack crossbars like the ultra-quiet Thule WingBar Evo bars # TH711520. It will in fact fit any crossbar that does not exceed the dimensions 3-1/2 x 1-11/16-inches and that are spaced apart (bar center to bar center) between 24- and 42-inches. This black bar set, along with the Evo Clamp Feet # TH710501 and the vehicle-specific Fit Kit # TH145116 make up the Thule WingBar Evo rack system...

• Can a Rooftop Cargo Box Be Mounted to a Rooftop Cargo Basket
  It is possible to mount a rooftop cargo box like the Yakima SkyBox 12 # Y07334 on top of a roof-rack-mounted cargo basket like the Rhino-Rack # RMCB02. There are a few things to keep in mind as you prepare to do this. Your vehicle will have a finite roof weight capacity. Check your owner's manual or with a local dealership (using your car's VIN) to confirm how much total weight the roof can handle. The total combined weight of both carriers and your loaded cargo cannot exceed the vehicle's...

• Alternate Mounting Hardware Kit for Thule Cascade XT Cargo Box on 2018 Hyundai Tucson
  When the original mounting hardware for a rooftop cargo box like the Thule Cascade XT will not fit on a vehicle's OEM roof rack crossbars you can substitute alternate hardware. The original u-bolts used for this cargo box are no longer available from Thule. You can use kit # TH05603 from Thule/SportRack that includes hardware that will fit on crossbars up to 1-9/16 tall x 3-3/4-inches wide. If you end up needing to drill new holes in the box any extra holes can be sealed up using silicone...

• Replacement Mounting Hardware Kit for Sears Sport 15-CAV Rooftop Cargo Carrier
  The Sear cargo boxes were made for them by Thule. Although the original mounting kits are no longer available it is easy enough to adapt another u-bolt mounting kit to work well on this rooftop cargo box. It really just depends on the type of roof rack and the dimensions of that rack's two crossbars. The kit # TH05603 that you referenced includes u-bolts that fit bars up to 3-3/4-inches wide and 1-3/4-inches tall. If your roof bars are within these dimensions then this kit is the best...

The Motion XT includes 3 load-stabilizing straps as well as 6 anchor points within its interior that allow you to selectively secure certain cargo items into certain specific spots. The anchor points are shown in the linked video at about the 3:40-minute mark. Although...

• Compatibility of Thule Atlantis Cargo Box TH685XT with 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe
  Even older cargo box mounting hardware will be compatible with a range of roof rack crossbar types. The Thule Atlantis TH685XT uses the claw-type mount # TH05738, as you noted, and it will mount to most crossbars spaced apart 24- to 42-inches. If your Santa Fe does not have side-to-side crossbars on the roof you will need to install some. I suggest the Thule WingBar Evo rack made of parts # TH711200, # TH710601 and # TH85KC. This rack installs on your vehicle with flush side rails at a...

• Replacement Mounting Hardware Kit for Sears Karrite Galaxy Rooftop Cargo Box Made by Thule
  Your Sears Karrite Galaxy rooftop cargo box was indeed made by Thule but since this unit's design is more than 15 years old the original parts are no longer offered. However, it is possible to use alternate mounting hardware. The Thule Replacement Hardware Kit for Searsbox Cargo Box # TH05603 allows for faster installation since it utilizes u-bolts. You will still have to thread on eight separate knobs as with kit # SR05587 which is another option. Often folks that use a rooftop cargo...

• Comparing Heights of Thule Sonic XL TH635S and Hyper XL TH612 Rooftop Cargo Boxes
  The Thule Sonic XL cargo boxes do actually have a slightly higher profile than the Force XL Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6359B. Although both designs share the same 17-cubic-foot internal volume capacity and the same external length and width dimensions, the Sonic XL's external height above the crossbar will be 16-inches while the Force XL's will be 1-inch taller at 17-inches. Often customers who use a rooftop cargo carrier also choose a tire step like # HE4040 to provide easier access for...

• Will Inno Rooftop Cargo Box Fit on Yakima Round Bar Roof Rack
  Just about any rooftop cargo box that fits on square roof rack bars will also fit on round bars. The one bar style that can sometimes be tougher to fit on is the heavy-duty type offered by Rhino-Rack, such as those in roof rack # RLZ01-DC. But all of the Inno cargo boxes we offer, all shown on the linked page, will fit both round and square roof rack bars. One of the most useful accessory items for use with a cargo box is the lightweight and cost-effective Telesteps Folding Step Stool...
