WTB - Tow Hitch for 99 Civic

They're hard to find on CL but are readily available new....of course. Anyway, I will not be doing any towing with it, it will be used to support an extender similar to the one pictured below. I plan to start using my civic to carry my outback, have the extender, now I need the hitch.

Why not just carpool with a guy who has a truck, you know trade guide service for transportation. :biggrinjester:

Ouch my titan is getting 20 mpg at 70 mph. Have you looked at the civic forums?

why not just get a roof rack for the civic?

I got a nice piece of yellow rope I found at a launch one day, has loops
already at both ends...:D

where can i pick one up?

i would like to check it out. any redirect please. ohhh ya, and the secret coordinates to the sewer hot spots would be greatly appreciated. ;)

Just move closer to the launch :D

why not just use the yakima rack from the accord and just get some q-clips for the civic?

That's part of the plan. The car has a sunroof so I cannot afford to just lay the kayak on the roof.

That's the plan, Stan. However, because the Civic is a two door the racks would sit to close to each other, they would only support about 25% of the kayak compared to my Accord which is a coupe and supports about 50% of the kayak.

I saw those last night, they're about the same price locally so if I can't find a used one in the next week or so I will buy a new one.

I just found a new one at Uhaul for $120......I'll probably head there tomorrow

jorge, check this out on cl it may solve the issue with the two door thing: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv...878135398.html

also are you going out on sunday with us?????

Coupe Schmoupe. Hahahaha. :D

This is how I transport on my wife's Beetle, because they never made roof racks for my 240SX.

The two yellow straps keep the yak from sliding horizontally. Front and rear straps keep the yak from sliding longitudinally.

This setup is solid to 75mph... never really tried to venture above that.

For reference, the yak is a Pelican 130T with a 36" beam and 13'0 length, so it's not a small yak by any means.

Thanks, I had to do SOMETHING to inject some testosterone into the car. My wife doesn't like to ride in my car because the stiff suspension forces her to either be uncomfortable or wear a sports bra. :rolleyes: So when we go out together, I often end up driving the Beetle.

Apologies for the hijack. Now back to our regularly scheduled program. :p

Now you will have a coffee stained, fishey smelling trunk Civic...perfect:cool:

The stretch kit works great, 97 civic
