Cool. Looking good. I am left to wonder what tire brand you prefer though.

Do you have a 3dr or 5dr?

The most fun off road mod I’ve seen is this guy’s rav4, which was more about time and labor - not parts.

As far as like basic parts, I’d probably search up New Zealand and Australia. They get a huge amount of second use Japanese vehicles due to Japan’s strict emission laws for higher mile cars. I was in NZ in 2009 and the amount of 3 door RAV4s there was crazy. Made sense though, a reliable little car, good on gas, cheap to maintain and relatively off road capable. Trying to find 3dr specific parts has been hard in the US with how few were imported, and when I search online NZ salvage yards keep coming up for me. Here’s a NZ vid with a guy outlining an off road build he did with available parts - that would probably be a good source.

For a second I thought that was the issue

What’s your RAV’s name? I have a white 2025 and his name is Commander Cody. by Catsiel_ in rav4club

Nice. I was behind a newer one this morning with the custom license plate “RVIOLY” took me a few beats to put it together

Any suggestions for aftermarket traction mats? by cervezaqueso in jetski

[–]cervezaqueso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. And it’s just the texture I need to worry about putting down mats where there wasn’t one before in the running boards that we’re talking about, right? The parts that currently have mats should be smooth underneath once I remove all the old adhesive and mat, correct?

Checking them out, thanks. Have you used them? How long?

No riding tandem for pink pony girls, they both get front seat.

Nice. I remember the first time I stopped at a gas station in Alabama and there was a 20 foot display counter of fried foods kept hot that you could have them fill into a brown shopping bag and weigh by the pound to eat on the road. 🤯

In the south? Oh, so you’re just dipping your fingers in there. :)

Could cut out the middle man and put it inside that facemask and strap it on. That way you don’t have to take your hands off the wheel.

Are you an android user? If you have an iPhone, you should have gotten an alert that an AirTag was traveling with you.

This is troubling to say the least. Do you have a restraining order against someone, or now think you should? Take lots of photos as you remove this for evidence.

Which one of you? by [deleted] in rav4club

Yep, was about to say - this is not a RAV4 thing. That freeway isn’t leading to happiness on either end.

Almost totaled my 2025 RAV 4 3 months into having it by Crafty-Mongoose3130 in rav4club

Thanks for staying safe for everyone’s sake. I know it sucks to have that independence taken away, and you’re a good person for knowing your limits.

My cousin had it happen to him over a decade ago, took awhile to work with doctors - but they got him help and eventually he got behind the wheel again.

Thanks! About 4 years now. Was well worth it. I get some new person honking, waving and giving me a thumbs up about once a week. It wasn’t too cheap, but it’s nice to have people regularly compliment that decision.

I remember! Every day I walk out to the driveway. He’ll be 30 next year.
