What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Did the Rav4 control knob swap. Should come from the factory with these nnobs. Soooooo much better!!!

 

Installed some $30 eBay seat jackers today. Pretty shocked at how much better the seating position is with them in. Disregard the dirt.

 

i did the same. I had to drill out the holes a bit more for the to fit.

 

Luckily mine lined right up, took me 5 minutes to get them in before running errands. Love them. Sucks that it took nearly a month for them to come in on the slow boat from China though haha.

 

Looks great!

 

Upgraded from the stock TRD OR wheels + my Nitto Ridge 265/75/16’s to the Method 316’s + Falken WildPeak AT4w’s in 275/70/r17

 

TRD skid

 

Got one on order! You do it yourself, or get a buddy to help? I hear it’s not too bad, just a bit heavier.

 

It's only like 38lbs. It's doable alone

 

I wear 2 pairs of socks in case of emergencies.

 

I put my own skid on, and if I can, you can. Some use a floor jack to help hold it up, I went for the more basic "2 paint can skid holder" approach and it worked great.
It also gave me a good excuse to buy a torque wrench and anti-seize for the bolts (even if not required, it let me go shopping ).

 

Relation Race Wheels Protection Rings

 

New shoes! Method 305 double blacks and falken wildpeak AT4W 265/70/17’s.

 

anti-seize? does the Pro skid not have the oil filter door?
i threadlocked my RCI skid because i ain't taking that thing off unless i have to completely replace it.

 

So…. Toyota dealer?

 

They are “Canyon Rock Sliders”. I agree took me 4 years to do much modification to mine.

 

Didn’t have time to get the bumper on tonight but I did add a set of ditch lights.

 

Not to bad,I held it up… my wife helped start the bolts. Be careful of the center bolts, it says they’re supposed to be torqued to 33ft lbs, but there’s no way. I stopped after “good N tight” the fronts tighten down to spec 33, backs too “21 ft lbs” .. easy job overall

 

Buy the hard-plastic kneepads carpetlayers use. Balance the plate on the two pads, put front bolts in first then once the middle bolts are in the rear bolts are easy.

 

Need that in my life!!!
