- How to Replace the Winch Strap of a K2 Snow Plow
- We don't have a video that details how to replace the strap of your K2 Winch like part # K2RASP8219, but I did speak to my contact at K2 and he gave me a brief description of the process.
On the winch there is a u-bolt that needs to get removed after feeding the strap all the way out. He said this is pretty obvious and easy to do. Next, there is a pin holding the strap to the spool. On the side of the winch there are a couple of holes. You will need to line the pin up with one of the...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier for Kawasaki Ninja 650r On 2015 Mazda CX-5 650r?
- For a hitch mounted carrier, your best bet would be the Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier, part # UF48-979033. The Class III hitches we offer for your CX-5 all have a 525 lb tongue weight capacity. This means that the weight of the bike plus the weight of the carrier you're using can't exceed the tongue weight capacity. With a full tank of gas, your bike weighs about 460 lbs, and when the 45 lb weight of the carrier is added, you'll be very close to that tongue weight capacity so you'll want...

- I cannot recommend the use of the K2 motorcycle carrier on the back of an RV or converted Sprinter van in this case. The issue is that this carrier, and most others, are not rated for the additional stress and movement associated with being at the back of such a vehicle.
But there is an option that is rated for use behind an RV. It is Ultra-Fab carrier # UF48-979033. It is rated for 500 pounds which is very close to the weight you mentioned at 485 pounds. Please verify the weight prior...
view full answer... - Can Detail K2 Flip Rack Fold Down Ladder Rack # K2TFR150 be Permanently Installed on Bed Rails
- The Detail K2 Flip Rack Fold Down Ladder Rack # K2TFR150 that you referenced is designed for clamp-on installation using the four supplied clamps. These grab the underside of the bed rails to secure the rack's tracks, as shown in the linked video.
Certainly it is possible if you prefer a more secure installation to drill holes in the track and the top of the two bed rails to allow for a semi-permanent installation. Although this modification will void the warranty it should not be at...
view full answer... - Does a 2014 Ford F-150 Have Enough Tongue Weight Capacity to Carry a 387 Pound Motorcycle
- Since there are different configurations of the 2014 Ford F-150, it is going to depend on the specific model. The vehicle will have its own tongue weight capacity, some models may have a higher capacity than others. So knowing that ahead of time will help since it would not help to add a hitch with a high tongue weight capacity of the vehicle cannot handle that much weight as well.
So if you can get an F-150 with enough tongue weight capacity without a factory hitch then you could install...
view full answer... - Is there a Ladder Rack that Will Fit a 2006 Chevy Avalanche
- Because the Chevy Avalanche has a unique bed design, there are no ladder racks that will fit it. What you can do is add a roof rack, see link, and also use a trailer hitch, like # C13422 if needed, and use the Thule Goalpost, # TH997, and achieve the same effect.
Or, you could use a universal roof rack single bar, # DTA968, the hitch, and Goalpost, which would be more economical than a complete roof rack.
view full answer... - Tilting Motorcycle Carrier that Works on a 24 inch Tall Trailer Hitch
- For a hitch height of 24 inches theThe Detail K2 Carrier part # K2TMC201 that you referenced would be able to tilt down and allow your scooter to be loaded. You would not need to use a ramp.
You would just need to tilt the ramp down and wheel the scooter up.
I attached an install video that shows it being used on a truck hitch that would easily be over 24 inches in height.
view full answer... - Towing a Motorcycle and a Pop-Up Camper
- The only motorcycle carrier we have which can be used behind a pop-up camper is the Detail K2 # K2TMC201, though in order to be used for your 450 lb motorcycle, you'd need a hitch with a tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs, and unfortunately the highest rated hitch we have that will work with a trailer is the Curt # C13701, which has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs.
We do not carry tow dollies for motorcycles so I am unsure of their maximum tongue weight, but if you find one...

- I would need to know the year and bed length/cab style of your Nissan Frontier to determine if there are any headache racks that will fit.
We do have a rack that is a ladder rack and sort of a headache rack that might work for you. It is the Detail K2 Flip Rack Fold Down Ladder Rack # K2TFR150. It will fit:

- With the Detail K2 ladder rack installed, # K2TFR150, the clamps that hold the base to the truck bed would get in the way of a toolbox. What could possibly work for you is Rola rack # 59742. If you where to clamp the front part back behind the toolbox it could work.
view full answer... - Recommended Snow Plow for 2004 Dodge Ram
- One of the most popular snow plows we carry is the Detail K2 Rampage II # K2RAMP8219. It measures 82 inches wide and 19 inches tall and can be used at 5 different angles. It's also electric and includes an in-cab switch and wireless remote to control it.
To install the Rampage II onto your 2004 Dodge Ram you will need the mounting brackets. If your truck is a Ram 1500 you'll need part # K284311, and you'll need part # K284312 if it's a 2500 or 3500.
view full answer... - Carrying a Motorcycle on a 2010 Toyota 4Runner With a Factory Hitch
- For your trip, you'll be able to carry your cycle as long as the total weight of the carrier plus cycle is less than 500 pounds.
According to my research, this means that you'll want your Kawasaki KLR 650 to be hauled without fuel if possible, where it will be somewhere in the 400 pound range.This means that your carrier will have to weigh 100 pounds or less to stay safely in your tongue weight capacity while hauling the bike.
One of our best options is the Detail K2 Motorcycle...
view full answer... - Motorcycle Carrier Recommendation for the Back of an RV
- I checked with K2 and you are correct the K2 Tilt Down Motorcycle Carrier part # K2TMC201 has been rated for use behind an RV or travel trailer. They offer two versions of this carrier, one without taillights like the part # B04100-1 and then one with taillights that we don't currently carry.

- My contact at K2 was able to confirm for me that when their Flip Rack Fold Down Ladder Rack # K2TFR150 is installed on your 2013 Nissan Frontier (King Cab, 6-foot bed without Utili-Track system) the headache rack portion's top will be a minimum of 24-inches above the bed rail. This dimension applies to the lower-height installation option. Please refer to the linked photo.
The folding rear bar will be just below this level, at about 23-inches, when it is in the load-carrying position,...
view full answer... - Can K2 Snow Plow part # K2STOR8422 be Installed on Vehicle Travelling Public Roads
- It's not illegal to have the K2 Snow Plow part # K2STOR8422 installed on your truck when traveling on public roads but you would need to be aware that your front license plate may be obstructed as well as your head lights. As far as where you can legally plow that would be a question you would need to ask your local DOT.
view full answer... - Detail K2 Snowplow for 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport
- All snowplow kits offered for the 2001 Dodge Ram 1500, shown on the linked page, exclude the Sport version from their fits. My technical contact at K2 advised that instead of a front-mount hitch you CAN use their Custom Mounting Bracket kit # K284309. This has no known compatibility issues with the Ram Sport according to my contact. With it you can use a plow like # K2RAMP8219.

view full answer... - Recommended Snow Plow and Mounting Brackets for 1997 Ford F-150
- The snow plow I suggest for your 1997 Ford F-150 is the Detail K2 Rampage II # K2RAMP8219. It uses a remote controlled electric winch to adjust the plow. It also has springs so the plow will lean forward when it comes into contact with an unseen object. This will protect the plow and your truck.
To mount the plow you'll need # K281512 if your truck is a 4-wheel drive model or # K281511 if it's 2-wheel drive.
view full answer... - Motorcycle Carrier Recommendation for the Back of a Class A Motorhome
- RVs and motorhomes have a very long distance between the rear axle of the vehicle and the back of the vehicle. Because of this bumps in the road are greatly exaggerated back there. So anything mounted on the hitch will experience a much harsher ride. To the point certain hitch accessories just aren't rated for it.
There is a solution for you though. The Ultra Fab motorcycle carrier part # UF48-979033 is very similar to the # SC2001 and Ultra Fab has assured us that this carrier can be...

- The Detail K2 motorcycle carrier # K2TMC201 or the Rage carrier # SMC600 are the 2 carriers that I recommend for a scooter like your Yamaha SMax. Both of these carriers have a solid track so the smaller wheels of the scooter will not fall through. I have linked videos of both carriers for you.
For either carrier the trailer hitch and truck must both have a high enough tongue weight capacity. For the K2 the tongue weight capacity will have to be at least 500 pounds. For the Rage carrier...
view full answer... - Snowplow Recommendation for a 2014 Jeep Compass
- The Detail K2 Rampage II Snowplow # K2RAMP8219 requires custom brackets to be able to mount to a vehicle. I checked and there aren't any custom brackets for your 2014 Jeep Compass but there is a way that you can use a plow.
All you will need is either a front mount hitch or a rear trailer hitch, such as # 75712, and a plow that fits in a 2 inch receiver such as # A40000HD. I have linked a video review of the SnowSport plows for you.

view full answer... - Can You Use A Ladder Rack With A Tonneau Cover Installed On A 2017 Toyota Tacoma
- I do have a possible option for you to consider, but the Detail K2 Flip Rack Fold Down Ladder Rack part # K2TFR150 is not a confirmed fit for your 2017 Toyota Tacoma. All of our truck bed ladder rack systems designed to fit your vehicle are not compatible while a tonneau cover is in use as the mounting brackets for the ladder rack systems must attach to the inside of the bed rail, which is negated while using a tonneau cover.
However, you can install a roof rack and t-load extender such...

- I have a solution for you, but the Detail K2 Flip Rack Fold Down Ladder Rack # K2TFR150 that you referenced hasn't been tested to fit your 2014 Toyota Tacoma so I cannot recommend it for you.
For a somewhat similar ladder rack that has been confirmed to fit your vehicle you would want the TracRac Ladder Rack part # TA37004 as I can guarantee this rack will fit your vehicle.

- To mount the Detail K2 Rampage II Snowplow # K2RAMP8219 on your 1999 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 you will need the appropriate installation kit. That bracket kit part is # K285120.
Very often trucks that have a snow plow installed will benefit from some front-end suspension support to help offset the load from the plow's weight. Since the Rampage weighs in at 265-lbs you will certainly notice the stability benefits from a set of front jounce springs.
A kit like Timbren's # TTOFTUN4 will bolt...
view full answer... - What is the Width of the Detail K2 Tilt Down Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier # K2TMC201
- I reached out to my contact at Detail K2 and gathered a few different dimensions that will help you out. The length (side to side) of the Tilt Down Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier, # K2TMC201, is adjustable from 56 inches to 76 inches. The overall width of the carrier is approximately 13-1/4 inches from the face of the trailer hitch receiver to the back edge of the wheel tray when it is in the rear-most position.
I have attached a few photos showing these dimensions for you to check out.
view full answer... - Ladder Rack Recommendation for a 2007 Toyota Tundra with 5-1/2 Foot Bed and Deck Rail System
- We do have some ladder racks that will work with the track system in your 2007 Toyota Tundra with 5-1/2 foot bed but the Detail K2 ladder rack is not a fit.
The Rola Haul-Your-Might ladder rack # 59799 fits your truck and will actually use the track system to mount to the bed. This, in part, gives the rack an 800 pound capacity. There is also a version that includes a top rail extension, # 59799-59798. There is no drilling required to install either of these ladder racks.
