Pentagon Tool XC1 Aluminum Motorcycle Ramp - Hitch Carrier Review

Pentagon Tool XC1 Aluminum Motorcycle Ramp - Hitch Carrier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Although the picture shows a street bike being loaded on this carrier the instructions say "Not recommended for most street bikes" Would have been nice to know that before I ordered it.
Anti wobble device, will not mount correctly on my receiver (Toyota). It tips as I tighten the center bolt then comes off when I tighten the other two bolts. I made a steel plate that fits inside the wobble device that allowed me to get it tight. However, it came off after less then 45 miles.
Picked up my new Honda 230M using this carrier. Used the provided strap to drive (very slowly) to the nearest Walmart and buy some other straps. The ones that came with the carrier are not to be trusted. Instructions say "Use straps at your own risk"
No problem with assembly. Instructions are very,very faded. I can't see the wobble device orientation in the picture. But the narrative describes how it is supposed to go on.
I have a small bag of sheet metal screws and washers left over. I have no idea what they are for. They are not shown in the parts list.
Instructions say the ramp stores on ether side - not true. There are threaded holes on one side only.
My carrier arrived damaged. The box looks like someone ran a forklift through one side.

Curt Manufacturing 13138 Class III Receiver Review

Curt Manufacturing 13138 Class III Receiver
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The receiver is made with heavy construction and nicely finished, and included all the hardware needed. The instructions show a simple enough install where you just remove two existing bolts from the frame and fit the receiver, then drill two new holes using it as a template, something that should take 20 minutes or less with the right tools.
Unfortunately for me, even though my truck was listed for compatibility, the factory tow hook was in the way and I couldn't install the receiver without removing it. The tow hook is secured high up on one of the frame rails with three difficult to reach bolts, and also attached to a strut bolted to the bumper assembly with the bolt tack welded in place. Only once it was removed could I follow the original instructions and everything was fine, just took much longer due to the hook.

Very solid and clean build. It fit so perfectly on my 2011 equinox that I didn't have to bang it in with a hammer or support it while I put in the bolts. Installation is very simple and straight forward. Six bolts and your done. The two bolts at the bumper did take a bit of time because of the loops faor the safety chains blocked me from simply using a ratchet wrench with an extension, but once I figured out to just slip my arm between the bumper and the hitch, it went by quickly.

2008-2010 Subaru Tribeca Roof Rack Crossbars With Locks Review

2008-2010 Subaru Tribeca Roof Rack Crossbars With Locks
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This roof rack when mounted and tension set on the clamps, the plastic end cover cracked and broke off while another was cracked. The clamping device does not fit the countour of the vehicle top rails. The second fault was the unbearable resonance noise created when the vehicle was moving with no cargo load on the rack.. One would have to remove the rack each time it was not loaded to dampen the wind resonance.
This product was returned to the supplier for credit... which is pending.

Thule 590 V2 Fork Mount Rooftop Bicycle Carrier Review

Thule 590 V2 Fork Mount Rooftop Bicycle Carrier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've used this bike tray for over a year now and it almost cost me a very expensive LOOK carbon fiber bike because it wasn't clamping down enough on the fork to hold the bike securely. I couldn't get it adjusted enough to clamp the fork after less than a year of use so I returned it to my LBS (local bike shop) where I bought it to warranty it. Thule replaced it free of charge but the new one is already showing signs of having the same problem.
The manager of the store said they had another customer who has gone through two of these trays already with the same problem as me.
There is a serious problem with this product and Thule needs to address it before I will recommend this product to anyone.

Curt Manufacturing 11000 Class I Receiver Hitch Review

Curt Manufacturing 11000 Class I Receiver Hitch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm impressed at so many levels with this purchase.
* Product was shipped the day after ordered and received 1 day later (super saver!).
* Everything was in mint condition on arrival - no crushed box, nothing missing, no scratches.
* The installation was remarkably easy for a job that is nearly a 'structural' modification.

I looked over the installation directions prior to purchase and was more than skeptical of the estimate of 15-30 minutes for the job. Although I didn't make the 15 minute mark, the install was truly a 'piece of cake'. There are a few things that can't really be avoided in doing this job.
*You need a few tools - the right size sockets and extensions - a torque wrench too
*You need enough strength to loosen and tighten nuts to 90+ lbs of torque (while lying under a car!)
The product quality/finish was excellent, the 'fit' was a perfect match for the car (Golf/GTI) and the instructions (and fish wires) were on point. Nothing needed to be 're-jiggered', modified, moved, cut or fabricated to put it in.
If you need a hitch on your VW, just GET IT and DO IT! If you have (or can borrow) a few tools, and have minimal upper body strength, this isn't a job where you'll need to call a friend or neighbor or father-in-law to help you finish it.

First of all the hitch showed up the day they said it would, very fast even with free shipping. This hitch was the best deal I saw online, and I found it from someone else's recommendation. Fits perfect, and talk about beefy! Twice as heavy as the old hitch I removed, and the 6 mounting points were more spread out and better in my opinion. Install took 1/2 tops by myself. Highly recommend to anyone, great product at a great price.

Just received and installed the Curt hitch that I purchased from Amazon. It was the best price online to be found and with free shipping was just super. I went online to Youtube and watched a demo of the installation. It only took me 35 minutes to install the hitch start to finish. The hardest part was getting the exhaust hangers off. You must take off the 2 front rubber hangers inorder to install the hitch. With the hangers removed the bolts came right out with no problem. I placed the hitch up into place and the hanging exhaust system holds it just fine. Inserted the bolts and the hole alignment was excellent. Tightened all six bolts and lockwashers put the hangers back in place and I was done. This is a do it yourself project for sure. All you need is a 14mm socket to get the old bolts out and a 17mm to put the new ones in. I would recommend this hitch for the 2009 Kia Sportage to anyone who needs a hitch.

Yakima SkyBox 12 Review

Yakima SkyBox 12
Average Reviews:

Excellent box, opens smoothly with one hand, easy to install and remove. I opened other boxes at REI including other Yakima's and they required two hands to open and felt flimsy. This one installs in under a minute with no tools. One time adjustment to roof rack by screwing in or out the handles to adjust the pressure of the feet that attach to the roof rack, flip the four handles down and the box is locked. Next time is just a flip of the handles for on or off. I couldn't tell it was on the roof of my HHR at 75mph on the interstate. I found myself looking for a shadow to verify. There was no noticeable drag so I don't expect a big change in fuel economy even with my little four cylinder.

I needed a front mount hitch for a Kayak rack, This hitch is very well made - it fit exactly into the factory drilled holes of my 2009 Ford F350. I had to cut the air dam as mentioned in the instructions, installation took me less than one hour with the air dam taking longer to cut than installing the actual hitch.
This is not the first Curt product I've bought and I must say that Curt products are very well Engineered with a good finish and solid feel.

Thule Bags Nomad Cargo Bag Review

Thule Bags Nomad Cargo Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I expected much better quality from Thule. As used according to the manufacturers recomendations, this bag did not even last one trip from New York to Chicago without it's interior lining cracking and completely flaking off. In addition, the back of the bag ripped creating two large holes in the fabric and the zipper attachments became loose and proceeded to pound at the roof of my car. The contents shifted continually during travel making for a loud noise that's not unlike a pouring rain hitting the top of the car. This becomes a terrible distraction while driving. All in all I had a very bad experience with this product and would not reccomend it. Opt for one of the solid constuction type carriers, they cost much more, but are worth every penny. In the end I thought I was saving money with this product but wound up having to purchase a Sears X-Cargo container to replace it for my return trip back.
