"Hi! This is my 2000 4x4 Pearl White RAV4 with grey/blue cloth interior. I spend plenty of time in the mountains. I added the factory sport bars, and bumper (with tow package) both bought on eBay. My biggest investment so far is the JAOS BULL BAR on the front. I now have some PIAA fog lights and love them. The luggage rack is factory, but I'm planning on getting a bigger one to accommodate a canoe. (As you can see I love the water!!) Future plans are a spring lift (1") and some bigger tires. (BF Goodrich All Terrain), a step ladder for the rear. Rav On!!" Email: Dhansberry1@home.com

Updated September 5, 2000: David has added his LARGER cargo rack and new BF Goodrich Tires. Here are his comments - " I do plan on getting a 1" spring lift, but with the tire size being 225/70/16's, they are not that much bigger. I've noticed NO rubbing anywhere using the 225's instead of the stock 215's. I do notice a slight 'singing' when driving, like a truck, but that's what I like!!! Actually, it takes corners better then the original Dunlops! I'm using the stock Bradley GT 16" rims. I wanted to get one for the spare, but the dealer said they cost over $300 (wow!) Guess I'll wait a while for that one!!"
