I agree with this, I am not sure how the problem continues to happen. When I installed them I tightened them as much as possible. I have had those connectors and the Odyssey battery for 3 years and this has happened about six times. The terminals are not loose at all I have to put a ton of...

I have a similar issue with the military style Slee connectors. Randomly after several months I will go attempt to start the LC and nothing will happen. The dash lights briefly come on then off and then nothing at all. Each time this happens, I twist the battery terminal just slightly and...

That prospeedrack is good looking. I find it interesting that prospeed has a 270 awning mount for the 100 series rack. Looking at their rack it's nearly identical in build to the Prinsu rack. It's also interesting how many vendors have nearly copied the Prinsu design. I have a Prinsu that...

I had a similar problem. My AC in the front worked but not the back. I had a noticeable leak and the dealer claimed the rear evap and a wiring harness needed fix which was like 4k. I told them to fix the leak first because that was clearly a problem. I had to talk to the service manager and...

I just switched to a velocirax and am very happy with it. I also have a Yakima holdup 4 and the yakima backswing. We have a truck camper that we use for bike trips often. The holdup 4 kept shaking the arms loose (I replaced 2 and it happened again). I am not convinced that it was a rack...

I have not seen this, pretty crazy. I have two yakima boxes one is 14 years old and is now left on my truck camper and the other is a skybox carbonite 21. Both have worked well on the Prinsu and I have not had any problems. The 21 is huge!

I built a simple wood frame of two 2x4's that were longer than the RTT so I could suspend the whole thing from the roof with two straps on the ends of the wood frame. I don't think I have any pictures and don't have the RTT anymore. I used my tractor's front end loader to lift the whole...

Yes, nothing like getting a brand new part and taking an angle grinder to it! Just make sure you cut enough away, the tailgate sags a little more with weight on it. I think I skimmed a little more off the bottom after that picture.

I have a Yakima backswing. I modified the latch so it doesn't hit the tailgate. It's not structural and still completely usable. The backswing is solid, I use a yakima holdup and holdup evo +2. The rack is terribly heavy and with 4 bikes is even worse. not really happy with the evo +2 but...

I have a B2920 TLB similar to yours but the BH makes it heavier. I pulled it with an 18' trailer and my old 4runner. I haven't needed to move it with the LC but wouldn't think twice about doing it. Drive it on, chain it down and go!

I have a TD lift about the same as yours. I used the 4164 and cut off three of the bump rings. Works great, it did provide a little lift when unloaded with the min PSI in the bags.

I have not towed 4k with my LC but have a few thoughts. I also own a F350 (SRW) with a 4k+ camper in the bed so I do understand carrying or towing a heavy load. I can't imagine that a Tacoma or 4runner would be better than your current LC. I owned a GX470 and when shopping for a new car I...

I ride a modded KTM 1290 SA unless it's snowing in and out of DC year around. Between free hot lanes, parking everywhere and just fun, I pretty much always get to work with a smile on my face! I ride home, drop the bike, get in the LC and pickup the kids - so it's still driven daily. If I...

@Higgin re: wind noise I have my wind deflector set in the lowest position without the noise reducing trim. I have not noticed the deflector to be the problem as much as the first bar in the rack. I can't put a bar in the furthest forward position without noise. I removed that bar and moved...

Very cool system. I have firestone airbags with the TD coils. I didn't connect them to my ARB compressor since it wasn't a need for my use. The airbags work great and are very good when heavily loaded. I adjust my airbags and shock compression when fully loaded or for driving around town.
