Video Transcript for Thule racRac Ladder Rack Load Stops Replacement Hand Knob Review

Adam: Hi, everybody! Adam with etrailer. Today, we're going to be just talking about some replacement parts for you guys' ladder racks. In particular, we're going to be looking at the Thule rack. So, we have the Xsporter here, but this is also going to work with your track TracRacs as well. And we're going to be taking a look at the replacement knob.It's exactly the same. Perfectly identical.

So, if you guys are just having troubles with your guys' knob, maybe the little sleeve on the inside starts slipping and you're not really getting it as tight as you want, or maybe you guys accidentally cross threaded it, or something like that. It's really easy, really simple. We have these replacement parts on our website, and it's just that easy to get it replaced, whether it just looks bad or it's not really functioning right. But as you can see, it is a perfect replacement. So, just know you have that option here at etrailer.If you guys do end up replacing your knob, and that's not necessarily solving your problem, it could be our little T-bolt down here.

And luckily, we do have a replacement for that as well on our website. So, just go ahead and check that out, and pick whatever replacement parts are going to be best for you guys, to get what you guys want.But to be honest, that's pretty much all there really is to know about this replacement knob for your Thule ladder racks.

A little shorter than the original, need washers to make it work. Fast delivery. Overall satisfied.

I ordered the part on a Saturday afternoon. Shortly after placing the order, I realized, I ordered the wrong part. I sent them an e-mail about an hour later, explaining my mistake.
Sunday later morning, I received a call from them asking me questions to make sure they had the right part. Really was surprised to have someone call on a Sunday. Monday it shipped and Wednesday it arrived. It is exactly what I needed. Thanks for the great service and follow up/

Took two bikes on a 1800 mile road trip. Worked great. Everything stayed tight and surprised how solid the whole unit is. Old sets bounced around a lot in the back as you went down the road.

@Bob Awesome! Glad to hear you are happy with your experience and with your bike rack. That is a lot of miles! What was your favorite destination? Do you do any mountain/trail riding?


by:

nice. just as pictured. delivered on time.



by:

These are not original knobs, which is not a big deal except they are not as deep as the original knobs. Meaning the bolt bottoms out in the cap before it is tight on the rack. my fix was it add a few washers to fill the gap.



by:

Everything came on time. Had a broken handle called them and they took care of it right away. Plan on buying from them in the future.



by:

Completely satisfied, fast shipping great communication, A plus all the way



by:

The thread didn't fit. I didn't even ask for a refund and even provided the correct size m8x1.25 in an email. I never received a reply. If you need this replacement part, take an existing one off match it at the hardware store and buy it there or order it based on your tracrac.

Exact match and works perfectly. Received the item in 3 days, super.

Wrong part



by:

An incorrect part was sent but the folks at etrailer went out of their way to quickly rectify the situation and get me the correct part. I bought my current rack from them and of course went back for a replacement part. I will purchase from them in the future based upon customer service.

Product was in stock and shipped out Qu ickly



by:

Outstanding product; I took out and put on my TracRack for 2002 Tundra and it worked perfectly. Excellent price and arrived pretty quick with just the standard delivery. Thank you.

Awesome product and they still perform like I just bought them a couple weeks ago.



by:

Nothing wrong with the knob, other than the description is incorrect. This knob is for the larger track bolt that only fit the under side of the rack. They do not fit the t-bolt that goes with the load stop.

I am wondering how old your TracRac is. We have found that this particular hand knob is designed specifically for newer style TracRac Ladder Rack Load stops. If you have an older load stop then you will also need the bolt, part # HD-80122.



by:

The knob doen't fit the stock t-bolt that came on my 2007 tracrac ladder rack. Extremely disappointed.

I would like to find the knob that would work for you. This is meant to be used on the load stop that comes with the rack. Where is the T-bolt located? Is it the one that fits into the cross-bar channel?



by:

Product as described. Shipped fast. Would definitely order from etrailer again.



by:

This was an exact fit to replace one damaged and one lost knob on my Trac rac.

Exactly what I needed came extremely quickly great price thank you!



by:

Perfect fit !



by:

First shipment got lost and they were very helpful in getting a replacement order to me. Quality product



by:

Fit perfectly...bought two, one as a back up in case the original one came loose and falls off. Thanks...



by:

Shipping was so slow that the mating part fell off before it arrived. Never received an order confirmation or shipping confirmation with tracking number. Had difficulty remembering who I had ordered from when the time came to check on the status of my order.

Like many vendors ET is using USPS to ship. Somehow this is never up to par and in the future I will insist on UPS or FedEx.



by:

Received and will work as intended. Nice to have a place where you can get parts! Unable to get them through the manufacturer - H&H. Thanks eTrailer, I will be back.

Great, a little locktite and it is still there!



by:

I was missing all the legs to the Tracrac I bought at an estate sale and was totally disappointed when I found out it was a very specialized piece. Went online to see if I could order them from the manufacturer, but was not able to find any on their parts lists for sale. I continued to look at option only to come up empty. Tried a general search and to my surprise e trailer had them. It made my day. Product came quickly and included everything ordered. Thanks etrailer ...you are now in my favorites. Cheers!

  • Correct Replacement Load Stops for TracRac Ladder Rack
    The correct load stops for a TracRac Ladder Rack will be based on which version you have.

  • Replacement Load Stop and Hardware for Older TracRac SR Ladder Rack
    Hey Beth, thanks for reaching out! Yes, what you have there is one of the 1st Gen models of the TracRac SR ladder rack. The correct load stop part number you're looking for is 01-23321, but this was discontinued back in 2022. In order to get a load stop that works with the older SR style crossbars you'll need to get the newer load stop, part # 8537165, and modify the T-Slot part on it to fit your crossbars. If you also need replacement hardware for the load stop then we have the Hand...

  • Is There TracRac Sliding Ladder Rack that Fits 25 Tacoma
    Hey Danny, hopefully that is possible eventually but I checked with Thule just now and the don't have a sliding TracRac ladder rack confirmed as a fit for the 25 Tacoma yet so we don't have a base rail kit we could recommend.

    I was able to locate some of these items you're looking for, however the Replacement Load Stops for Original-Style TracRac Ladder Racks or TracRac CapRac 01-23321 that you're looking for has been discontinued. We do have the Replacement Load Stop for Thule Ladder Racks # 8537165 which may work for you if you have the Thule CapRac, TracRac, TracRac SR, or Xsporter Pro ladder rack. Finally, for the T-bolt, we have # HD-80122 and for the hand knob we have # TAKB-90004.

  • Replacement Hand Knobs for the TracRac Toolbox Mounting Kit
    If you are just looking to replace just the knobs on the Toolbox Mounting Kit for TracRac part # TH25200 then you can use the Replacement Hand Knob for TracRac Ladder Rack part # TAKB-90004. These are round knobs and the knobs included in the toolbox mounting kit are more of a triangle shape but nonetheless will still work for you. We do not have the triangle shaped knobs at this time. The above part is only for the replacement knob, you will also need the threaded stud in order to attach...

  • Recommended Hobie Outback Kayak Carrier for a 2005 Ford F-350
    Honestly because your kayaks are so heavy, you're not going to be able to use a standard roof kayak carrier because you'd be overloading your bars. If by "rack on the truck" you're talking about a ladder rack like # TH27000XTB then you can just use 2 of the Malone Foam Kayak Block for Truck Racks - 14" Long # MPG159 with the tie downs # MPG306 - or 2 of the Rhino-Rack Nautic 580 Side Loading Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # RR580. If you don't have a ladder rack, then you could use a cantilever...
