That is one awesome looking car Jim. Like you said it’s a keeper and if you were ever to sell it I’m sure some of us would be willing to buy it 😊. I read an article recently I’ll see if I can find it again the original Rav is a possible classic and I really think the 3 door 4.2 could well be too We do like it! |

Don’t make the mistake I made ....I polished the rocker cover and exhaust heat shield and they corroded over the winter 😢😢 rocker cover never looked the same again !

Bob , regarding the rear step/bar to match, I don’t know if it would fit with the towbar I have in place ? Jase does the towbar fit on these bolts ?  |

Bob , I'm sure the bolts for the tow bar are directly in the chassis and run from front to back , if that makes sense ?
They were 12mm fine threaded.
Is that bar mounted onto another bracket that picks up on the chassis?

The rocker cover and exhaust heat shields are just a tube of polish and a lot of hard work, done some a small drill attachments but mainly by hand 👍🏻
Have had a few emails from photobucket telling me about the deals per months but looks like they have gone back to a free for smaller numbers of photos .

Well, I've started fiddling with the RAV, just in a small way, mind. Fitted the OEM mudflaps plus new number plates and surrounds with The Boss's private reg. Don't you just love fitting OEM accessories? Toyota's stuff almost fits itself! Very nice! Anal Firemac  |

This RAV so far seems less thirsty than the ones that we had before. I think that I''m going to have to start BtB calcs just to see. |
