I spoke with my contact at Yakima and confirmed there is not a specified maximum spread for the LoadStop Brackets # Y05000.
The key things to keep in mind when deciding if you can carry a load on your roof rack is the weight capacity of your roof and if the load can be secured. You can check your owner's manual or local Scion dealer for the roof weight capacity. You will want to ensure your roof rack and the load on it do not exceed your vehicle's weight capacity.

In the scenario you are referencing you are simply adding one light to the left turn/brake light circuit and one light to the right turn/brake light circuit, which is perfectly fine if that's what you want to do. I would be unable to speak to its legality and would highly encourage you to take a look at your local laws but I can't see why it would be an issue.
So all you need to do to add these lights is wire in something like the Optronics LED Trailer Tail light # STL72RB by using 3-Wire... view full answer...
Trimming the rear fascia is not required in the instructions for Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24815. I have linked the instructions for you to view. However on some vehicles, people did have to allow the hitch to push up the bumper or have trimmed it for the best fit. It seems to vary from vehicle to vehicle. I have included a link to a video that shows a typical installation for you.
If you plan on doing some towing the recommended ball mount is # 3593 and you can use pin and clip # PC2.... view full answer...
A trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite # 24815 will bolt-on to your 2009 Scion xB. This uses 4 bolts to attach the hitch to the existing holes in your frame underneath the vehicle.

The Curt trailer hitch receiver, part # C11488, is confirmed to fit your 2003 Scion xA and is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch opening. This means you will need hitch adapter that expands to 2 inches in order to use your current bike rack. You need to know first that using an adapter does decrease your hitch's tongue weight capacity by 50 percent.
From my research your Scion isn't rated for towing at all so there really isn't a defined tongue weight. Check your owner's manual to see... view full answer...
We do not maintain relationships with local installers for the hitches we sell but our hitch vendors, such as Draw-Tite and Curt, do provide a dealer-locator service on their websites. Many of our customers tackle the install on their own since we include hardware, instructions as well as videos to help.

When Curt did the test fittings, they saw that it would be fairly difficult to modify the panel so it would fit around the hitch. Therefore, they haven't tested how to trim the panel.
The purpose of the underbody panel is to smooth and direct the airflow passing under the car while it's moving down the road, reducing some turbulence.
Leaving the panel off will not harm anything, although leaving the panel off might have a very small negative effect on the aerodynamics of the vehicle.

The Curt # C56175 trailer wiring harness you mentioned is not a vehicle specific item, it can be used with many different vehicles and therefore there are no vehicle specific instructions available.
To install the wiring harness, having a circuit tester like part # 40376 would be very helpful. Locate the wiring harness feeding both of the taillight assemblies. You might need to do some disassembly in the cargo area of the vehicle or remove the taillight assemblies as if you were replacing... view full answer...
My technical contact at Roadmaster advised that there are two potential causes for the red light to remain lit on your Even Brake # RM-9400. One possibility is that the unit is too close to the brake pedal and is pressing it. The other possibility he noted is that you did not wire into the cold side of the brake light switch, which is necessary to tell the unit that the pedal is pressed. view full answer...
I don't think it would hurt anything to reinstall that tow hook on your 2016 Scion iM but at the same time I cannot recommend an installation that is different than what the instructions indicate. There is the chance that the thickness of that tow hook would make it so the bolts are not long enough to install properly and hold the hitch on which is why I advise against it.
That tow hook is used to secure the vehicle during transport from the assembly line to the dealership and can be used... view full answer...

Yes, the conical tooth washer needs to be positioned so that the teeth face the hitch. That is what prevents it from coming loose. Take a look at the video I have linked. At about the 1:50 mark the installers start to put the hardware on to mount the hitch and they mention the conical tooth washer. view full answer...
The item you selected, T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118468 plugs directly into the tail light harness of your Scion xB, but does require a ground connection and connecting to the battery.

You will plug part # 118468 into the tail light harness then, plug the connector into the tail light.

According to the installation instructions for CURT Trailer Hitch, # 11487, you will not need to remove the muffler in order to install the hitch on your 2005 Scion xB. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view.
The hitch comes with a ball mount, hitch pin, and clip. If you plan to do some towing you will need a ball, # 19256 (1-7/8 inch diameter) or # 19258 (2 inch diameter). For trailer wiring, use Curt Wiring Harness, # C56030. I have included a link to... view full answer...
When routing the power wire for the install of a powered trailer wiring harness like part # C56311 you have the option to run it through the interior and then out through the firewall or you can run it to the outside of the vehicle at the rear of the vehicle through a grommet in the trunk and then route it up to the battery that way. It really depends on how you would prefer. Most commonly through the exterior is the method used.
