I spy a Volvo XC90 hitch mount bike rack and roof kayak rack using the Yakima FullSwing 4 hitch bike rack, which has been replaced with the Yakima SwingDaddy hitch mounted bike rack for four bikes and two sets each of the Yakima HullyRollers kayak rollers and the Yakima Mako Saddles kayak saddles mounted to the Yakima LowRider base system, which has been replaced with the Yakima RailGrab System.

This Volvo XC90 bike and kayak rack has the right idea.  Using the Yakima FullSwing 4 bike rack (no longer available, replaced with the Yakima SwingDaddy hitch bike rack) installed into the 2″ receiver hitch, access to the rear of the vehicle is not an issue, even when the rack is loaded with four bikes.  Mounted to the Volvo XC90 factory side rails is the Yakima LowRider rail system (like the FullSwing 4, it too has been disctontinued and is now the Yakima RailGrab System).  For carrying two kayaks, there are two sets each of the Yakima HullyRollers kayak rollers and the Yakima Mako Saddles kayak saddles.

Yakima Racks 8890176 mounting hardware hitch bolt for toyota tundra trailer hitches.

The OEM receiver hitch on the Toyota Tundra is too large for most hitch bolts, due to excessive gussetting on the Toyota Tundra trailer hitch. The answer is to use the extra long Yakima 8890176 Hitch Bolt mounting hardware to properly mount your hitch bike rack. Sold separately as a Yakima Racks replacement part – spare part so you can use it with your hitch bike rack to properly install it on the Toyota Tundra OEM trailer hitch. It is also included with Yakima SwingDaddy, FlipSide and Doubledown hitch bike racks etc.

Fun lovin' shot of a 2010 Toyota Prius with Thule 480 Traverse Complete roof rack system (Thule 480 Traverse Footpack, Thule 1566 Traverse Fit Kit, Thule LB58 58" Loadbars) with Thule 887XT SlipStream kayak rack and Yakima Mako Aero kayak saddles/Yakima HullyRollers kayak rollers combo, and the Saris T-Bones hitch mounted bike rack.

Fully loaded and ready to roll, this 2010 Toyota Prius is making it happen thanks to the wonders of racks.  This ‘10 Prius is using the Thule 480 Traverse Complete roof rack system (Thule 480 Traverse Footpack, Thule 1566 Traverse Fit Kit, Thule LB58 58″ Loadbars).  This Thule base rack system for naked roofs is locked down with the Thule 544 4-pack of locks.  Mounted to the Thule crossbars are two different but equally awesome kayak racks.  One is the Thule 887XT SlipStream kayak rack which has a rear roller that can extend backwards for easy loading and unloading.  The other is the popular combo of the Yakima Mako Saddles kayak saddles and the Yakima HullyRollers kayak rollers.  Installed into the trailer hitch is the Saris T-Bones 3 Bike hitch mounted bike rack.  Two kayaks and two bikes, all safely and securely transported on a 2010 Prius.  Not too shabby.
