Installing the Rhino Rack Folding J Kayak Carrier on Vortex Crossbars

Loading your Rhino Rack Folding J Kayak carrier is about as easy as it gets.

• Fit the bracket under the bar and tighten the screws - you don't want to over tighten them.
• Rotate the arms up and lock it in position by pulling the large tab out and locking it back in.
• If you have the additional extension do the same on the other side, so they are mirrored.
• To load your kayak lift it into place, do not drag it.
• Secure your kayak by looping the straps on the arm of the kayak carrier and around the kayak, securing it on your cross bar on both sides.
• Use the longer tiedowns to secure the front and rear of your kayaks to your vehicle for extra security.

Now you're ready to take your Kayak's anywhere!

Installing the Rhino Rack Batwing Awning On A Landcruiser With The Pioneer Rack 

First Step: Take out all pieces and make sure you have 

• Pre assembled Batwing Awning
• Hardware 
• Peg Bag

Attach rear mounting point on the drivers side by sliding it into the channel on the pioneer rack and tightening it with the allen key provided. 
Next we slide the bracket assemblies into the slots on the awning itself, noting the height we wanted to attach the brackes as you have two options. 
Leaving the bolts loose so we can adjust them on the pioneer tray, we place the awning on the tray and attach it with the m6 nuts and bolts in the pioneer channel using the horizontal bolt holes.

We found that sliding the plate nut under the bracket and screwing the bolts until it catches worked great just...

First Step: Open the boxes and make sure you have everything you need:

• 2 Vortex Crossbars
• 1 Allen key
• 2 sets of SX Legs

Remove the end caps from your crossbars and shake them up and down to remove the measurement strips, vortex rubber strip and the key. Insert the vortex rubber strips in the C channel on the top of the crossbars and cut the extra bit off if required. 
We discovered we like this back and forth motion to get them in just right. 
Then insert the legs into the crossbar by squeezing the tabs. 
Get your crossbars and sit them on the 2011 Acura MDX's factory rails so that the leg assembly...

Have you ever noticed some wobble in your receiver when using your bike rack?

Well, there is a solution for this.

Even the best fitting bike racks can ocassionaly have a little sway/wobble when you're on the road, especially when fully loaded with all your bikes. The best solution is to get an anti-rattle pin kit to help get the tightest fit possible. These pin kits are available for both 1 1/4" receivers as well as 2" receivers and some can be locked for extra security.

Summer is just around the corner and with many Pandemic restrictions in place, Canadians are likely staying local again this year. But local doesn't mean boring and living in Canada means countless mountains, lakes and forests to explore.
Can't get a campsite? No problem! The term "bush camping" doesn't mean what it use to with countless products to take you from doing your business in the dirt and washing off in the freezing lake - to having a private bathroom and shower area without towing a camper.
