Coupi'S 1997 Lwb Rav4 -The Adventuremobile

[Kris]

Probably the toughest Rav4 I've ever seen.

I like it...good work on making the Rav4 much cooler than stock.

Got a few bits and bobs I bought last week in the post today; genuine Toyota rear light guards (but the flipping guy hasn't send the clips!), Ritchie X21 dash mount compass, 52mm gauge holder and incliometer.

Will get them fitted up in the next few days. Both are illuminated, so I reckon they'll be wired to the sidelights.

Need to order a 2.5l of satin black Hammerite, some underseal and some strong trim tape. Then I cane get this safari rack modified to sit lower and fit on the roofbars, get it painted, paint wheels, grille badge and boot badges and stick them back on!

Hi, may I know what is the part number of these genuine Toyota Rav4 you bought?

Cool build. Thanks for sharing. Always liked rav4s but I've never seen a build.

Hello Coupi.

Can i ask you where you got your suspension spacers form? I have a 2005 gen2 rav4 that i want to lift. I looked at some OME spring but i am affraid their rating will stiffen the ride and loose this comfort i have with this rav.

The front one look very much like the Jimny bits for Vitara. Is that where you got them from?

I am in France so UK parts are easier to get in that US or AU.

Nice built.
Regards

I'm afraid I don't have them anymore, got some metal ones from America.

The lift spacers are from a company called wellspacedout on eBay over here in the UK. Specific to the RAV4, not for any other vehicle.

That thing is sick! I love the 80 series 4wd emblem on the back! Are you going to match the spare tire to the rest of them?

Sorry for my late reply, do you mind send me afew pictures of the metal guard look like?
