Here’s what happened when I tried to lift my RAV4 - pictures show before, during and after:
Oof that’s rough but the pictures are kinda hilarious😂 glad you fixed it!

This forum might appreciate it but also check out battlecars
We need to hear these stories too - takes guts to admit when things go wrong
Your mistake helps the rest of us. Thanks for sharing and owning up to it

Doubt many will learn though… this forum gets the same basic questions daily:
- good deal?
- oil changes?
- why bad mpg in winter?
Every. Single. Day
@Amanda
Those folks don’t search first. People modifying their rides actually look stuff up
@Amanda
Can we just delete the 5k oil change posts automatically?

At least labor wasn’t bad and I got new strut mounts since my mechanic buddy forgot them first time
Why switch from truck to car then try making it a truck again?
Not trying to be rude but a 4Runner would’ve been better for offroad stuff

Fair point
Had an 04 Runner with 200k miles and rust issues. Wasn’t the V8 model. Then got a Tesla my wife took, so this RAV4 became mine. Saving for a house so didn’t want to buy another big SUV right now

Lost another 2 with tires/wheels 
Still get 26-28 in city though. My 4Runner gets 14-16 lol

Wonder how hybrids handle it. Thinking about bronze rims for my gray one - that combo looks sharp

Check spaseyota and moon buggy on insta - they’ve got hybrids! Bronze on gray does look sweet 
@Marcell
My runner was like that - hurt every time I filled up

Yeah especially when gas hit $7 here in socal 
Went with Northwoods lvl 3 rear springs - perfect for extra weight. Might upgrade shocks later. Thanks for sharing your experience
