• Can The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack Be Used On a Class V, 2-1/2 Receiver?
  The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202 will only fit a 1-1/4" or 2" receiver directly. You can use a Brophy Hitch Reducer and Extender # HR26 that will allow for the stinger to fit on your vehicle. The stinger that holds the rack into the receiver will not work on a 2-1/2" or 3" receiver. The Curt Anti-Rattle Hitch Clamp # C87UR will take the rattle out of the extender and allow for the entire bike rack to be solid as it has its own built in anti-rattle for the 2" or 1-1/4" receivers....

  In regards to the Yakima ForkLift Roof Mounted Bike Carrier part # Y02098, you will first want to make sure that the lock core is in the unlocked position. If you can't get the lock core in the unlocked position then please let me know as this is a separate issue. In order to remove the locking nut on the ForkLift you will first want to spray it down with some lubricant and let it sit for around an hour or so. After the lubricant has had time to soak into the threads you can try to give...

• Bike Stuck In Yakima Forklift By Skewer Bolt
  The "Skewer Bolt" runs through the Yamika mount on both sides as well as the bike forks. If you are having difficulty unscrewing the skewer, first keep in mind that this is a reverse thread that requires that you unscrew it in the opposite direction. Finally applying some penatrating oil to help lossen the bolt if it is seized. The next time you are putting the skewer bolt back in I would suggest a dab of anti seize lube # LT37616

• Installing BoatBuckle G2 Retractable Ratcheting Bow Tie-Down Strap on Trailer
  The BoatBuckle G2 Retractable Ratcheting Bow Tie-Down Strap # IMF14220 that you referenced is primarily designed to install by drilling right into the trailer frame or crossmember like what you saw in the video. You would just use the included bolt and nut to secure it into place. This is definitely what I recommend doing as it offers a much simpler setup without the potential for various other pieces/brackets to become damaged or worn over time. When installing the ratchet in this manner...

• Transom Tie Down Straps for 2020 Bass Tracker Superguide SC V16
  I have a solution for you, however, I actually measured one of these for you and I found that at its shortest, the BoatBuckle Heavy Duty Ratchet Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF14206 would be around 18 inches long, which is a bit too long for what you need. The best solution for you and my recommendation is to go with the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF08893. Instead of using extra webbing with a hook, the G2 straps use a bolt to secure the ratchet body...

• Locking Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin that Stays Tight and Wont Strip Out
  Personally, I like the SlientACT # SHP2082 because it does thread in but then you use the cam lever to quickly tighten or loosen it. I have linked a video review of it for you. Or another option I think you will like is the Pro Series lock and anti-rattle device # PS63100. This one uses a longer block so that it cannot turn when inside of the shank rather than relying on a spring for retention. I have linked a video of this one as well. For either of these options I recommend used Loctite...

• Transom Tie-Down Straps for Boat That Weighs 2,500 lbs
  For your 2,500 lb boat I recommend using BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratcheting Transom Tie-Down Straps # IMF08893 which each have a break strength of 2,500 lbs and will work since they are not going to be handling the full load of your boat at all times. These are 2" wide x 43" long straps so be sure that's the correct length for your boat and trailer; for a longer length you can use the 6' BoatBuckle Transom Tie-Downs # IMF14208.

• Anti-seize Product Recommendation to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2007 Honda Fit Sport
  For Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24776 for your 2007 Honda Fit Sport there isn't a specific recommendation for anti-seize products for the installation hardware. Loctite # LT37616 would work fine. But if you are talking about thread locker then there is just one thing to consider: how difficult do you want it to be to remove the hardware? If you use blue Loctite # LT37643 then the hardware can still be removed using hand tools. But if you use red Loctite # LT37420 then power tools would have...

  The hardware for the BoatBuckle G2 Retractable, Ratchet Transom Tie-Downs # IMF14256 is sufficient from the manufacturer.

  I do have a solution for you to use a ladder rack with your camper shell installed, but the Erickson Truck Bed Ladder Rack # EM07706 is not compatible with a camper shell. The ladder rack that I recommend for your application is the TracRac CapRac Ladder Rack for Camper Shell/Truck Cap # TH29200XT.

• Will XL Anti-Rattle Locking Hitch Pin Work on a 2 Inch Hitch?
  The # SHP2040-XL can be used on a 2" hitch; in fact the linked demonstration video shows it being used in a 2" hitch though it should be noted that it has an overall length of 6-3/4" and an inside pin length nearly 1 inch longer than the # 63232 so it will stick out on the side of your hitch like in the attached photo. It is also recommended you use Loctite Anti-Seize Stick # LT37616 to lubricate the threads before use. I have added a pair of reviews on this hitch lock for you to take...

• Is Any Maintenance Required With the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Ball Mount # AMSCV-6?
  The Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSCV-6 uses a polyurethane cushion which requires zero maintenance. My only recommendation is if you plan on always leaving the ball mount in with either a Pin & Clip # 74149 or Lock # e98881 is to use some Anti-Seize # LT37616 on the pin. This will help to reduce the problems removing the hitch pin if it left in and begins to corrode.
