I think I solved my little problem. No more laughing at me, cuz I got help LOL
I got this step that hooks on my tire and gives me some height. It was very useful yesterday when I loaded my VX with some mulch and stuff for my garden. Now all I need is a few more hours at the gym to be actually able to drag that 60lb tire off my roof rack.
Yeah, it's not easy to be short LOL
