I've done some searching but I'm not getting the results that I need. I am interested in using the Yakima landing pad / control tower system on my 2010 Trail. I would like to take the entire factory rack off, put landing pads in the four corners and possibly add another intermediate set in the...

I take mine to Grand Blanc Motor Cars. I have only seen one other local one in Fenton, MI. I haven't had any issues with the TE-specific components so I can't comment on GBMC's ability to service any better than another. Besides my '10 black te, I have only regularly seen one other grey TE...

Morning Gang, I've been looking for an integrated adapter that bolts in where the stock roof racks attach. I'd like to have something somewhat modular because my rooftop needs are pretty diverse. I think I've seen some adaptations for custom racks, but no adapters for multiple systems. Am I...

Currently, I use one of the "cheap" rectangular boxes, with a key lock, and a cable connector that goes around my seat mount. It is not ideal, but it is necessary with MI carry laws, when I walk my kids into their schools. I like the fact that it is removable when unlocked, because I can then...

I've had horrible reception problems. When I am traveling north and east, its okay, south and west are terrible. I currently have a cargo rack on it, and I think that makes things worse, but it was bad before I put the rack on. Compared to other XM oem radios, this is garbage. I've had oem...

Thanks for the replies. My last couple vehicles (chevy) cleared the windows well. Someone brought up a good point though. When the windows do freeze up, the sweeps won't freeze tot he glass. That's cool!

This is my first Toyota, so I'm questioning whether or not, this is just one of those differences. When my windows are covered with dew, all of my other cars would clear the dew when I rolled them down. The rubber "window sweeps" could clear stuff on either side of the glass. However, the...

This might be the best looking truck that I have ever seen. Any other info, links?

My husky's showed up this weekend. Couldn't be happier. :thumb3: Full coverage for my messy kids feet.

When I was buying and the sales person wasn't sure about a technical answer she would BS me, and I would call her out on it. After doing this three times, she just handed me their "sales eyes only" manual and told me look up whatever I needed. "Just don't let my manager see you with it." This...

cool, thanks!

Does the system have an allocation for the 5th wheel? I would be surprised if it did. I would have guessed FR, FL, RR, RL.

I don't know how big of a project you'd like to take on, but consider this. Rubber matting would be the easiest thing to find, but you could get some larger sheets of diamond plate-style matting (non-rubber) from a company like Wearwell Industrial matting. I'm not saying this the best...

so, do regular sr5 wheels have the sensors in them? I have a trail, and asked the dealer to swap wheel before I bought it. It never crossed my mind to ask about the sensors. The other thing, is they came off of a limited! Thoughts on that one? How can I verify?

I didn't realize that there was a zipper, so at lunch I went to check it out. I unzipped it, and fiddled with the mechanism a bit. I couldn't pinpoint the creaking noise, so I jumped in the front and sat in it to try to figure it out. Nothing, the noise is gone. So, I'm gonna go with it. :)
