Seriously man, you are WAY over-thinking things.
Get a hitch rack with fold down arms. Will only add 5 inches length to vehicle with the arms down. Get a locking hitch pin so you won't have to store the rack in the vehicle. Also, check your measurements. There is no way that a hitch rack is almost 5 feet tall.

Hey there,
Here's the link. http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29812 I kinda go through the process on post #14. The rails are really no big deal to install...just be very sure of your measuring and don't let the drill bit go skidding across your roof. You'll be stoked with the finished setup. My wife and I long haul two 16ft fiberglass Nigel Dennis sea kayaks @55lbs each, with no problems. |
