We installed a rear door access ladder onto 2020 Mercedes Sprinter. The ladder was manufactured by Prime Design and is a non-permanent ladder that mounts by clamping around the top and bottom edges of the door. This install was not very difficult; it required us to assemble the ladder prior to placing it onto the vehicle, and then make leveling adjustments as needed. 

We installed crossbars and a ski rack onto this 2019 Porsche Macan. The crossbars were manufactured by Thule and attached using Kit 184050 and Aeroblade Edge Crossbars. The crossbars have a channel running through the length of the bar allowing for track mount capability which is how the Yakima Fatcat 6 ski racks are installed. These ski racks can carry up to 6 skis and 4 snowboards. 

We installed crossbars and sidesteps onto a 2021 Toyota Tacoma. The crossbar setup was manufactured by Yakima and installed using their Landing Pad 24, Skyline foot pack, and Jetstream crossbars. The sidesteps were manufactured by Westin Automotive and are secured to the vehicle using the existing weld nuts in the frame. 

We installed a platform rack on to a 2020 Toyota Rav 4. The platform was manufactured by Prinsu and has planks with track mount channels for future accessories to be mounted. This install required us to drill into the vehicle to attach support brackets for the platform, it was tedious and should be done by professionals. 

We installed crossbars and a cargo box onto a 2019 Toyota 4runner. The crossbars and cargo box were manufactured by Thule. The crossbars are attached to the vehicle using the Rapid Crossroads feet that wrap around the existing raised side rails. The cargo box is the Motion XT XL, which provides up to 18 cubic feet of storage and can carry skis up to 200 cm. 

We installed crossbars and a ski rack onto 2019 Porsche Macan. The crossbars and ski rack were manufactured by Thule and we have found that this is the brand that works best with this vehicle. The crossbars are attached to vehicle using kit 184050 and Rapid Podium feet. The ski rack is called the SnowPack Extender and can carry up to 6 pairs of ski and 4 snowboards with the ability to slide out from its mounting location for ease of loading and unloading. 

We Installed a receiver hitch onto a 2019 Porsche Cayenne S. There are a number of receivers available for this vehicle, however our customer liked the quick release function available in the Stealth hitch. This receiver hitch has the ability to hold a 2" rack receiver tongue, a tow ball, or just hide the hitch all together. The rack receiver can hold up to 600lbs, the tow ball has tongue weight capacity of 800lbs and gross trailer weight capacity of 8,000 lbs. This installed required us to remove the rear bumper with wiring that was difficult and should be done by trained specialists. 

We installed a RSI SmartCap Canopy onto a 2021 Toyota Tacoma. The canopy is forged from steel, not fiberglass; making it one of the strongest in the industry. This model canopy is from their EVOc Commercial line with the addition of the Roller Rack; a heavy-duty roof rack with ample tie-downs for securing your load. It holds 330 lbs when in motion and 770 lbs static. Installation was difficult and required a large amount of space and strength.
