Going back a little

I want to let you know about how we used to travel.

Before the gas prices started going up I had a Jeep Cherokee Sport 4x4 whish I sold as the price of gas got to $2/gallon for a Scion xB which has better leg room front and back that the Jeep. Which made for less complaining on long trips from my 2 sons.

This is a great car! I can carry 4 yaks on it, 35 mpg and it looks pretty cool unless you have it all banged up from camping and yaking out of it. lol. The only issue I have is getting all the equipment into it! I wish I had a picture of the xB all loaded up with fishing equipment, coolers, etc strapped to the roof of the car! Another issue I had is the clearance of the xB this is me in Matagorta, Tx. If you havent been there it is a very wild area with few people








that are willing to get a dumb person out of the sand, but someone finally did!
We didn't catch anything this trip but it was very pretty there!

Been looking for someone with an XB that carried at least two yaks on top. Looks like it is possible! Where did you hook the front and back tie downs? It's all plastic front and back bumper, doesn't the strap bend the plastic in? What brand and pieces do you find to be the best for yaks on top? Any problems to mention?
thanks!
