Everything I own is in our on my Yaris right now.

Roof:

- 50" TV
- 3 fold 4" thick memory foam mattress
- IKEA Skarsta desk (disassembled)
- IKEA custom shelf add-on for desk
- IKEA coffee table (disassembled)
- Snowboard
- Extra PC monitor (in box)

Inside:
- 4 55Litre totes
- Filing cabinet drawer set (still assembled, and full)
- desktop PC (monitor, keyboard, etc)
- large rubbermade bin
- small rubbermade bin
- IKEA Poang armchair and stool (disassembled)
- very large duffel filled with clothing
- 70L travel pack filled with clothing
- two 5quart jugs of oil
- two 15Litre storage totes
- misc tools
- reusable shopping bag full of all the bathroom stuff
- reusable shopping bag with misc food items I didn't want to dispose of
- 2 medium sized moving boxes
- Vitamix blender
- Desk lamp
- IKEA TV tray stand type thing
- Small toolbox
- PS4 box
- Floor space rug
- probably other stuff I'm losing

Back:
- summer wheel set
- road bicycle
- large 80litre tote
- 60 litre tote


It took me a seriously long time to get this all packed. Mostly because I couldn't remember how to tie the stuff on the roof properly because it's been a while, and it took a while to wrap all the stuff in plastic. She's riding VERY low, but still driving :clap: what a feat!

How far are you planning to drive with the Yaris loaded down like that? Any idea of total payload weight of all of your stuff? Admittedly, that has to be the best packing job I've ever seen. The Yaris obviously can carry a lot of stuff!

That's everything you own? Wow! I'm impressed! Not so much because you fit everything in or on your Yaris. But rather that you own so little stuff. Wish I could be like that, but I can't seem to get rid of things. You are a true minimalist.

The Yaris was originally going to be called TARDIS, but apparently the name was already taken...

I used to carry an 8X10 Bass cab, bass head, 2 basses in hard cases, 2 backpacks, 2 laptop bags, and still have room in the passenger seat. lol

That is pretty impressive dude. My guess is you were fairly overloaded in terms of what the suspension is rated for but i've overloaded mine before and its been fine when going to the dump or getting building supplies. I did move house in my car several years ago but i kept my car to valuables only and made the removals guys take all the bulky and heavy stuff.

Yo, I also have a SKARSTA.

Consider a set of air helper springs for the rear. They're super easy to install, and they take all the sag out of the suspension when you're hauling heavy stuff. (I have the Firestone 4136.) They also let me take speed humps at 30 MPH without bottoming out. :bonk:
