Man, people want to use the yaris for everything but what it was intended.(not you Scott. crashy is full of win)

Betrivent, your car just looks new in those pictures. Every yaris has a fist full of wheel gap or more off the lot.

@OP. By the time you get a proper lift, tires, wheels you'll be approaching the price of a base rav4. The car will most likely handle like complete crap on road and will only be slightly manageable off road. I'm sure the yaris a-arms will hold up forever going off road every day too. Oh, kiss the mpg your chasing goodbye too - see heavy ass tires and wheels, not to mention spinning tires at WOT trying to get your FWD vehicle unstuck.

When you ignore this advice, be sure to hook up a trailer too. You'll save even more gas not having to use that useless bed in the back of the pickup.

The designers of Yaris lacked imagination as to the range of utility of the vehicle. Don't want any crappy RAV4 SUV nonsense just to get some decent clearance so the underside doesn't get damaged. Somehow it seems in Japan they don't have the usual rocks, 2x4s, trash, old engine blocks, roadkill carcasses, etc on their roads. (not to mention a kitty-cat that once tried to run under my car)
