Hey I Can See My House From Here
There, seeming to go on forever, is the grand expanse of your vehicle’s roof. Wouldn’t it be swell if for your next trip you actually were able to utilize some of that space for luggage, bikes or a kayak? But it’s way up there and you’re, well, way down here. It’s a dilemma. The Paramount, Calif., firm Top Line has arrived at a simple and fairly inexpensive solution: the Tire Hopper tire step.

Made of lightweight aluminum, the Tire Hopper has a mounting strap that slips over your vehicle’s tire. It creates a sturdy platform for accessing the roof rack, minimizing the risk of injury when dealing with heavy or unwieldy luggage. The wordmeisters at Top Line say that the Tire Hopper will fit virtually all makes and models of cars, light trucks, SUVs and vans. When not in use, it folds neatly to a compact two inches.
