"Because that's how we do things here"..... And here as well. Looks good Mike!

Ashley crushed it! I'm new to the overlanding community and strongly considering the RAV4 as a daily driver with mild offroading. I'd like to see how Ashley uses this setup. More on this vehicle please.

Love this video. It’s great to see what can be done for the smaller vehicles. Ashley’s RAV LOOKS REAL COOL!!!!

That Lunar Rock color looks great with all the add on. Have a 2019 xle hybrid in white and absolutely love it

Great video! Love the mods on the RAV. Ashley you did great! You should host more often!. I was looking for a way to add lights to my Grand Cherokee without having to run cables through my firewall! So thanks for the trigger controller idea.

Good job Ashley. Like your RAV4 looks good. My wife has an earlier RAV4 that I put a set of BFG ATs on. Keep up the good work you did a great job.

Ashley's a natural. Great vid guys. Didn't realize with minor mods you could make a Rav 4 looks so good.

Great job Ashley! I like the understated upgrades you did to the Rav4. I think the changes make it look better than stock.

Awesome build man! Looks great! And also nice to see and hear from Ashley!

Ashley did great! Shes a great addition to your content. Keep up the great work Mike!

Awesome job Ashley. Hope we see more of this car! My fiancé was super close to getting this car!

That wireless switch is brilliant! Thank you for introducing that.

I would have felt the same way about snipping the grill like Ashley but can't deny that after it's put together it looks great!

Ash, that's the nicest Rav4 I've ever seen. Great job in the video too. Both of you keep up the great work.

Fantastic job. My daughter lives in the hills outside of Golden. Good to have extra lighting, especially down near the ground.

Looks great! I really like the color!! I am surprised that the light control switch can’t be set also to do strobe. Ashley fantastic ride! Thanks for sharing with us. 👍🏻👍🏻

Great ride Ashley, you were great! Do not be shy of the camera, you do very well!

Been waiting for a video on this!

I’ve never “wanted” a rav4 till now. I’m a Toyota guy, drive a 4runner and I’ve never disliked the rav4 but this one... this one I like.

Great video, the RAV4 looks great. Ashley did great and having her active in your channel could bring the to wife to watch more often.

Nice job, Ash...RAV looks great!

Best looking RAV4 that I have ever seen, good job!

We have an 08 RAV-4 limited with the V-6 and is now turned into a TRD Limited along with skid plate, larger Hercules all terrain Terra Trac II tires and along with appropriate TRD badging. The V-6 along with the downhill assist control and the center differential locker makes this thing a better medium duty off-road vehicle and great for overlanding.

Love the build! Im looking at downsizing from a Land Rover and stoked that these aftermarket parts are available.

Nicely done, Mike and Ashley! 👍🏻

That’s a Sick Ride Ashley!!! Keep it up...you’re a natural, and much nicer on the eyes than Mike. You two and Atreu make a great team. I really enjoy your videos. Take care and be well;)

Made something awesome, awesomer

Great video Ashley! Can you tell us what’s in her “get home” bag and emergency supplies? This is great for those of us who are starting out. Love the channel.

It was really nice to hear her it’s awesome that you have someone what shoes an Interest in what you do

Very nice work, guys. Rav looks great!

I also like how Ashley is colour coordinated with the Rav

Glad to see you're still making videos haven't seen one in a while, and I love Toyota's, I had a Tacoma just like yours and I miss it every day, the rav4 looks great too, awesome job on the mods I think they're very useful and practical especially for that area, looks great ! Long time sub here and will try to stay up to date on the videos, it's been a while lol

Great job Ashley and Mike 🤙🏻

Ashley di great and should definitely join in on more vids. Not a huge Rav4 fan (by all accounts they are pretty good and several friends love them, just not my 1st choice) but it looks fantastic. The mods are low key and functional, something people tend to forget when they go crazy nodding their vehicles

I traded my 18 4runner for the new RAV4 hybrid. Been overlanding in it and love it.

Great vid. Gonna copy this build this year. Nice and practical for what i like to do.

Great Job Ashley your car is super cool. Love the lights but I'd make some of the front lights in Amber for the snow fog or smoke they really do better

Great job Ashley, the Rav 4 looks badass.

Looks awesome! I love the color 👍🏻

LUV THE COLOR & STILL GETTING SNOW I SEE . THE YOUNG LADY DID REALLY GREAT IN THE VIDEO SHOWING & EXPLAINING EVERYTHING YOU BOTH HAVE DONE TO HER RAV 4 . HOPEFULLY SHE'LL BE LESS SHY THE MORE SHE / YOU'LL ARE DOING IN THE FUTURE. BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOYED !

Ashley killed it! My wife is looking at Rav4s I'm going to push her more to get one now!

Love the rav! Super cute and tough! Ashley you killed it!

Damn you Mike! Now I’ve got to add some lights to mine. Thanks for making the install easy to follow.

Ashley did well ! Fun moment when she realized it was a bad idea to touch the rims ahaha That RAV4 is a nice daily drive for sure ! But my heart still goes to your Forester !

This video is perfect because my wife and I have been talking about the Rav4 for her.

I'm not paid by Subaru or anything, but one thing that made us decide against a Rav4 is that the vehicle decides when to activate the AWD. It's fairly good at it, but Subaru's are all AWD all the time, so we went with the Outback.

If you do plan on building one like these, just get the TRD/Adventure Trim because they are already pretty much like these minus the lights and roof racks.

Slick! I’ve been keeping an eye on those!

Great video. Awesome build. Would also love to see a video about what to put in a spouse/significant others get home bag/emergency bin.

So I remember Ashley driving the Tacoma for a few Weekenderlander episodes. Did this project get her more interested in overlanding? The RAV looks great guys, congrats on the modifications! Ashley, congrats on the sweet ride!

I loved that Ashley said that part. You guy's are so cute together.

"Hope you've been well" -- I choked on my coffee

The rav4 looks awesome! Be careful with that trigger system! I had one on my f150 and it killed my battery multiple times. I would wake up and all of my accessory lights would be on. I didn’t want it hooked to the ignition because I have bed lights wired to it and all my gear in in the bed with a tonneau cover on. It was a disaster until I finally gave in and wired it to the ignition.

Ashley seems really cool happy for you man, rav looks good

Great job Ashley. Thanks for telling us a little bit about your Rav4. That Trigger wireless controller is really cool. While it is expensive, it is easy, and certainly could be quickly moved to a new vehicle too, if you're the type that likes to lease, or change vehicles often.

We bought a set of Open Country AT IIIs for my wife's 2012 Pathfinder about a month ago. This car doesn't have the reputation of the 4runner, but it is about the same size and this was the last year of the frame on body R51 model. As a long-time Jeep owner, I am pleasantly surprised at the capabilities of this vehicle with these tires. We live near the large Pisgah National Forest is Western NC and have spent a lot of time on forest roads and little off-shoots that generally offer much more of a challenge. I know that you're a Toyota guy, but this Pathy is doing a great job on these AT IIIs.

Wow beautiful. The RAV4 is cool too.
