    Was just reading about this in another thread and figured I'd ask here. I've got a set of PRP seat covers in the mail and was wondering if anyone had put the plastic plate from the backside of the backseats on top of their seat covers instead of just slipping the cover over it. You'd have to remove the plastic, cut some little slits in the covers for the clips or whatever keeps the plastic in place, and then put it back on over the seat cover. Feel like it might be nice to keep the plastic exposed for hauling stuff so the back of the covers don't get scuffed up. Pics encouraged!

    This afternoon I added a couple tie-down points to the bottom/front of the bed.

    I used these rings: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q2H38F6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_TDSXPMP284F2Z1W3K8D0
    Had to drill out each mounting hole to get them to fit on the big bed bolts, not too terrible. It was more annoying to hammer the floating washer off each bed bolt so that I could get the ring mount tab under the bolt head.

    It turned out fine in the end! Now I have a much more convenient and secure spot to strap the front of my kayak to.

    I also got this cheapo throttle controller for $72. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YFRFWB4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_10YS7VPNV0W5YMWN9S8N

    So far, so good. Does the same thing as the $300 ones... and if it craps out it's a free and easy Amazon return! It makes the throttle feel much more like my wife's car, so it makes going from one to the other easier. Plus it tricks your brain into thinking you're going faster, so it's worth it IMO. It should hold me over for a while until I decide to pull the trigger on an actual tune. :fingerscrossed:

    Thanks. I would rather be extra safe. Mind you, I am not doing full on "recovery," such as pulling people in extreme off-roading or overlanding conditions. I researched this pretty thoroughly because I find myself towing / pulling people who have slid off the road in a snow or ice storm from northern NY to northern Quebec (sometimes on the 401 in Ontario). The BPF I have is fine for the front but we are talking about pulling someone who slid off the road in a snowbank or something like that. It is at least rated and I used this Rhino kit with straps:

    https://www.rhinousainc.com/collect...ear-combo-30-tow-strap-shackle-hitch-receiver

    If the person is in a ditch or a bit more off road I don't use the front but rather pull from the shackle hitch receiver. That has a higher rating and works just fine.

    If I was doing major recovery (I would probably feel uncomfortable because I am not an expert) I would buy the ARB. That one is the only recovery that mounts to the frame from what I can tell. You found a crazy deal on that for sure. But for serious recovery the price is not bad given the quality and the rating. It may be the only real / serious recovery option out there from what I found.

    I have it, too. But prefer the shackle hitch for anything other than a straight pull or moderate pull.

    Thats good to hear. We checked some out on the lot today, but had to cut it short when we saw two salesmen coming. :rofl:

    The lane assist threw me for a loop when I was driving the rental, took about an hour to figure out what was going on lol.

    The big concern I had was the road-noise, the older RAV’s were terrible with that. Overall does it seem to have the same qualities the Tacoma’s have?

    Finally got my shell installed. It's a SnugTop cab-hi model with the fold down front slider. Added power ports, 500 Watt AC inverter and bed LED lights. The side steps were also a recent addition too.
    In a previous post I added bed stiffeners.
    Took three months between ordering and installation.

    I once had an eagle-driver friend comment that the regs only required a 4-hour shift, so as long as troops were in their racks by 1229, you could rouse them at 0430 and start your day. He was the CO; I was just his visiting guest Judge for the day. And it was his comment, not his regular practice.
