Stop making me miss my RAV4 lol...I still have a set of aftermarket clear bumper lights in my closet. Also, one mod I did was to put the rear wiper from a 01-07 Highlander, it fits right on and looks better.

Neat, is the Highlander rear wiper the same length?

@@NickAlexander_is_Awesome About the same, no issues putting it on. I haven't owned my RAV4 in awhile, but I bought the wiper brand new while those Highlanders were on the market. Perhaps these can be found in a junkyard if any old HL has even made it there yet, which I sort of doubt.

I own a 1994 RAV4 3 door, and your videos have been invaluable for various projects on my car! So far I've upgraded the headlights, front bumper, tail lights, wipers/headlight stalk, added a lift kit, and swapped in power windows, mirrors and door locks. Love this little car! Thanks for all the tips!

This is awesome!! I'm going to give my Rav some TLC this weekend

I did the grille on mine when I still had it too, it was really easy. Painted it white, sealed it with a gloss clear coat, and was able to reuse the old hardware and badge

This is only my 2nd time seeing Paul's videos. Having just bought a 1999 Rav4, with LOTS of small issues, Paul's work is EXACTLY what I need. The previous owner did lots of goofy things. Like using a pocket knife to open the gas door !! Now it has lots of scratches. I will be actually FIXING the issues.

Thank you for the fuel door tip, mine has been acting up and this now lets me know how to fix it, awesome Paul!

Man. You have been so much help! Got a 97 4door. Head gasket Intake gasket Injectors Timing set Wire repair on those pesky wires under the intake aka lengthen and reroute. Replaced the missing intake support. Replacing the keyless entry not gonna let it crank it thing. And other associated things along they way. Four wheel brake job. But the pedal seem hard until the brakes get hot. But harden back up when cold. Booster has passed the three usual tests. All calipers and rear brake pusher outers work. All the brakes were worn basically to metal. Probably master cylinder. And those lugs are over kill I think. Thanks for all the help!

oh this moment "hey everyone, i'm Paul, and...", so cozy, you know that the next few minutes will pass great

I really like the brushed 6 spoke wheels personally. If you can find a good set of 5, I say go that route.

Agree!

I just bought a 2004 3 door, love this car. I also have a ton of stuff to fix, my spare wheel also rattles like crazy. Good videos

Hubcentric rings and new lugs! These wheels are very iconic to this rav it'll be hard to see anything else on it. Although the original 5 spoke wheels are also a really nice touch for this year model :)

Another great video! Excellent info on the antenna 👍 BTW, at least on the 1998 to 2000, to replace the rear side marker lights just remove the rear wheel well liner, there is no need to remove the bumper.

Great walkthrough, thanks LCP! Another thing I’ve been wanting to do now that it’s Winter is fog lights. I wish Toyota still offered the OEM ones the people at RAV4World have posted over the years, some of them were pretty cool and well-placed without being detrimental to the overall style.

You are truly sharing great info, get some new Rims cant wait to watch the next video

Thank you for your dedication to the RAV4. My '98 SXA-11 5 speed has benefited from your tutorials. The correct lug nuts would be my choice. No trip to a tire shop is needed and get higher-quality nuts instead.

I like the Toyota 3 spoke fan style silver painted wheels. Great videos.

Awesome video, thanks!!! I didn't need to remove the top 2 screws on the inner fender on each side, I couldn't get the first one I tried so I tried without removing them and it went slicker than...

I want to see you haul a small trailer with the hitch you installed!!!!

I did the side markers but the front ones I bought the aftermarket clear. Want to change the antenna but probably will change the Radio I want a unit with rear camera. Thanks for showing how to do all this I will drive mine till the wheels come off

I’m writing you a comment so KZread algorithms promote your videos!

Nice series! I love the attention to detail, I try to give that same detail to my 2002 Highlander although she's a "20-footer" unlike your RAV lol. I think some 1999-2003 RX300 (5-spoke) or 2001-2007 Highlander 16" (6-spoke) wheels would pretty cool. 16x6.5" like the RAV ones but they do however have an offset of 35 vs 45, they're designed for the long lug nuts and still sit tucked in enough on my friend's 3rd gen RAV. Good find on the LSD, I've been trying to find one for my Highlander still, already got sent 4 open diffs so far though :(

thank you so much for the video's of this car its help me alot

For the center bore, just get adaptor rings. I had the same problem with some wheels i bought for my Rav4 last year and thats how i fixed it. If i am not mistaken, i think they are called hub centering rings and they basically bridge the gap beetween the wheel ID and the actual diameter you need. The one i got are plastic and i thought it would be too flimsy at first but they work great, super good feel. Also, i didn’t get a good look at the stud holes on your wheels but they looked like they needed flat seat or mag seat lug nuts. Maybe the ones you had were just not the proper size. Be careful as running conical nuts on a wheel with flat seat isn’t very safe 😬

Очень интересные видео снимаешь. У меня RAV - II и я тоже начал реставрацию после просмотра твоих видео Супер!

I'd get either OEM wheels from Toyota (new or from the wrecking yard) or aftermarket wheels in the right dimensions for your RAV4. Also: I've enjoyed watching your videos; I own a 1997 RAV4 4-door with AWD with 214,200 miles on the 3S-FE and 4-speed auto, am the fourth owner overall

Looking forward to future content. So the wrong center bore can cause vibrations at high speeds? That would perhaps explain my vibration issue with my used jeep wheels I installed...

Paul, for all the original things that you have done on your Rav4, the best way to go is to put original wheels on yours. Pick the ones that you like the most! I like the ones that are 6 spokes personally. :) Cheers

Thank you ❤

I've found that Rust_O cans are drastically affected by low temperatures. Paint can pressure will drop as the paint is expelled and the temperature of the contents cools because of the decompression of the propellant. The instructions include temperature application guidelines. Too low of a temperature and the propellant will be ineffective. The paint will just dry more slowly. as well. You could gently warm the can with your hands. (This is typically what happens when you periodically shake the can during use). Applying heat higher than typical summer weather could result in a burst can and all that goes with that. Be smart. Kry_L paints are easier to use than Rust_O. The "satin" finish is nice and looks like OEM paint.

Cool video as always Paul.... really expeting the next video, for the rear diferential installation. Beause mine do a hard noise and I think could e the upper supports. For the wheels, well I realy like the nissan wheels on your toyota. maybe you colud fine a good solution for them

If you like the wheels get hub center adaptors, new lug nuts and use the existing wheels and tires.

It'll be the top rear diff housing mounting bracket. It's got rubber in it & they perish over time - gotta remember, these Ravs are getting on now.... Plenty of videos on U tube on how tofix the problem. Paul has done an excellent one on this issue. Basically the original Toyota part/diff mounts were perhaps a bit soft OR O.K. in their younger days..... Check out Pauls video list.....

Hey man, take care of the rust before the cancer spread. Mine was like yours and year later, it took off.

put Plexus spray on the lights to make sure they don't fade again.

hey Paul

How about 2010 Rav4 Limited wheels? Mine look good I think but they are 17". I believe they are also made in 16". Or a set of "Torque Thrust" by American Racing!

Option number three.

My father replaced the water pump on our 1998 toyota rav4 and it developed some wierd grinding noise but no metallic peaces came up in the coolant when we changed the old plastic thermostat housing with an autozone aluminum thermostat housing. Just yesterday that grinding all of a sudden got really bad lasted for about a min grinding that badly and then suddenly the grinding stopped and the engine stalled. Oh no. All the coolant spilled onto the floor as soon as the grinding stopped and the engine stalled.

It sounds like the water pump broke and the timing belt jumped off. I've learned not to use Autozone parts. Just pay a little more and get the Aisin water pump from Toyota. Then you won't have this problem where the car breaks and you have to re-do your work.

❤

i have no clue what to do with the wheel, i have 3 alloys and 2 steel my self , it think it causes 80 mph vibration that one steel one

3rd option better safe than sorry

This thing is cool. I think the Toyota wheels would look cleaner

@@LabCoatPaul As far as I understand aluminium (aluminum) adapters are susceptible to galvanic corrosion so there is possibility to stick onto the hub. I had plastic ones on my aftermarket wheels without problems, some do say they tend to melt - probably it has to do with usage (racing maybe?) and type of plastic.

Hey Paul, I respect your skills, but the lock-nut situation sounds disastrous and could become content for "Just rolled in" .... get some good nuts! btw... never use my antenna anymore, no good FM signals around here , it's al DAB+ or streaming internet.

Paul, you should test out the E-locker that they make for the RAV4. It's made by a company called AutoEquation. Because you have a youtube channel they might give it to you for free to test and review!

Aftermarket wheels! Get some hub centric rings to help center them. But get those Nissan wheels off your Toyota! Sacrilege hahahaha
