I was taught in the military to keep gear secured in case of an accident or rollover--if you apply this concept you shouldn't need to worry about having loose gear damaging plastics.
I changed all my interior lights to LEDs and got the blue trim liners for all the openings and cup holders but I never knew some of these existed. Thanks for this video.
Well Danny, you're spending my money. First off fabulous video. I truly appreciate showing how to make these changes and they are very cool. I have a brand new 2023 RAV4 XLE and I just ordered the turnsignals in the mirror upgrade. Also the hood lift cylinders are a great improvement. As you pointed out it's a shame Toyota didn't do some of this on their own. But thanks for the great idea's.
I think the door handle light is to bright and not necessary. One year after posting that I installed the mini lights above the door handle and Love them. I'm going to install the 3 compartment lights on the dash also, looks good with a bit more light.
Great videos on those items. But what I really like are your wheels and the grill. I was wondering who makes the wheels and the grill. Yours is one of the best looking r4s I've seen. Thanks and
Hello Danny Please tell me if there is a way to hang my spare tire on a roof Rack. let me explain. I have to ride from Tampa Florida to ORMC IN Orlando Florida for treatments. its a nightmare on my back and body. I'm looking to put a bed body in the back of my 2019 Rav 4 Prime XLE. I plane on using the spare tire wheel well for medical supplies and clothing changes since I have to stay in the area for 3 days at a time. Any suggestions would be very helpful. thank you Sign P& L Stage4
Enjoy your RUclips channel. I just bought this RAV4 hybrid. Has 75,000 miles on it. Concerned about battery. I hanever been able to get the battery to show full charge. Recently on a trip on the interstate this, in the picture is the best it would do. When it gets to three empty bars from top it starts using from the battery. Is this normal? Is there an adjustment needed for that.? I could figure out how to send the picture. What it is the picture of the engine running the car at 74 mph. Also pulling voltage from the battery with only 4 bars of battery. The battery level never gets higher. I had driven on interstate 30 minutes when picture was taken.
Nice video man….I changed all of the interior lights to LED’s a couple of years ago on my 2019 Adventure model and it makes a world of difference. Toyota should be ashamed of those stock lights are they give literally no light. Awesome video man✌🏽😃✌🏽
I like all the mods. I think I will wait awhile since we just picked it up from the dealership yesterday. I am considering a start stop eliminator. Do you have any experience with that
Hey I got the led bowl door handles and the power window led switch as well....how am I supposed to connect both? Do I connect the harness of the les door handle to the power window switch harness and then the end of that into the power window connection?
Nice mirror light install, but it would have been helpful to see the process that you fast-forwarded through where you were positioning the wiring for the light in the driver’s mirror.
@@wolfstriker3992 Ford has been putting out great numbers with their EcoBoost engines-if we can’t have a V6 RAV4 again, we should at least be offered a turbocharged one!
It’s official time to save up money to buy a rav4 Trd off road. I just like how it’s an off-road suv and fuel efficient. If I had money money I’d take the new sequoia lol
Nice Rav4 4.5. My 2018 Rav4 XLE (Rav 4.4) has a total Lasfit conversion done to it. I may have to consider getting those side turn signals now. Sadly the side mirror turn signals are a sealed unit like the 4.5. Strange that my 2018 C-HR XLE uses a bulb and is not a sealed unit. I did the Lasfit total conversion on my C-HR as well :-) The turn signal is all amber on the C-HR and very bright at night.
Watch the hood install. Some report that the thin metal up there may bend. I already see the hood vibrate as it's not glued that well to the underneath support. You forgot the horn... a 10 min $20 fix.
Yeah I’ve taken it out on the trail and there’s definitely a lot of vibration in the hood, but it hasn’t been too crazy-already did the horn when I swapped out my grille. Easy $20 mod!
The hood struts stacked on my ditch light mounts have created a little bit of vibration in the hood, but other than that everything has performed extremely well and have not caused any issues
What I like about my RAV4 is simplicity. I don't need to see lots in my window switched. That's a touch thing. You don't look down there every time you want to open a window. I'm more interested in practical options.
It would only void whatever part failed . So say your aftermarket turn signals messed up the wiring at some point , then you’d have no warranty covering the damage caused by then
Kudo’s to you for making this video for us in between spending time with family on Thanksgiving! You are a great example of a upstanding family man to us all… Very detailed and gave me several ideas I hadn’t thought of for installing… God Bless you and thank you so much for taking the time to make this!
Why has your engine by got no covers or sound proofing on the bonnet. My below windscreen plastic panel run-through whole with there is no gap between wing the hinges come thought rubber slots. Do the cut down on sound proofing for USA cars.
I would not replace original Toyotas part with something made in China if I didn’t have to.it might last for not very long compared with Toyotas original parts.
So for my rav4, my hood doesn't have holes or bolts for the hood struts. should I get holes drilled or do I have to get a new hood or what would you suggest?
@@DannyRocksteady it's a 2019 and it doesn't have the side mounts like yours. It has the bolt on the frame but not the hood. There's not even bold holes on the hood
Hi Danny, are the red liners inside your car @5:41 installed by yourself or did they come included? Really digging the look and I want to get them myself but don't know where to find them! Thanks!
@@DannyRocksteady cover, psi, charger iq, window switch kit, and Is steering wheel carbon fiber six things, The steering wheel was $400, And 3 weeks some getting the stereo In 3 weeks I'm getting the stereo
They do have some previous generation accessories on there-you’d have to check to see exactly what is available tho. cartrimhome.com/Toyota-rav4-2019?tracking=blueyota4
You what I absolutely hate, that I can't see the buttons for the cabin light.
Same here.
Someone solved this using clear bumper dots so you can feel them.
I did the hood mod and put 1/4 inch rubber mat in the space, works like a shock absorber
Looking at a 21 RAV4 XLE and wow I’m impressed with how much people have done to theirs.
For side mirrors. You don't need pry tool just pull it from the outer edge, much faster than prying it off.
Just a thought will any of these mods void your warranty
Interested in the turn signals, not so much for the rest.
The LED light bowl for the driver side will disable the power control for the side mirror when the car is updated with the latest Toyota software.
There's a front grill that lokks awesome out there. Seen on RUclips..
I have a video with one of the first installations of them
Trunk cover that hs sides is a must to protect plastics while having stuff in the trunk
I was taught in the military to keep gear secured in case of an accident or rollover--if you apply this concept you shouldn't need to worry about having loose gear damaging plastics.
didnt even know that the hood struts were an option, looks dope opening the hood with one hand!
I changed all my interior lights to LEDs and got the blue trim liners for all the openings and cup holders but I never knew some of these existed. Thanks for this video.
Is the backlighting for the infotainment system bright enough on sunny days?

Do you have a link to the window rain guards? Love that they cover the entire chrome strip.
they're from Amazon.
turn signals rock!!
My 22 Rav 4 has the driver side switches that light up... which ones did NOT come with the lighted switches?
I think the door handle light is to bright and not necessary. One year after posting that I installed the mini lights above the door handle and Love them. I'm going to install the 3 compartment lights on the dash also, looks good with a bit more light.
love that new turn signal action.
Definitely something you don’t get tired of!
@@DannyRocksteady Hey, would you have an opinion on what is the best 3 way dash cam to purchase?
My ranking is:
1. Illuminated window switches
2. Smoked turn signals
3. Door handle lights
4. Interior LEDs (these are insanely bright)
5. Hood struts
Hi, great video! For the illuminated window switches, did you choose style A or B?
@@dfleurius looks like I got style B-only has an illuminated dash versus illuminated window icon.
Thanks for this amazing content, Can I have the link where to purchase this light bar please ?
Just ordered the turn single lights for in the upper grile!!
My 2020 rav4 le came with 235/65R17 yokohama geolandar ans spoko rims....alot of other rav4 owners think it looks wrong but i like it
But I'm liking the mods you showed

Fantastic efforts my friend, beautiful instructed. Like them mods😊❤🇬🇧
I like all the mods. I think I will wait awhile since we just picked it up from the dealership yesterday.
I am considering a start stop eliminator. Do you have any experience with that
mine thankfully doesn't have start/stop.

Can you post links for supplies and the upgrades
i cant wait to do this when i get my rav4
Nice mirror light install, but it would have been helpful to see the process that you fast-forwarded through where you were positioning the wiring for the light in the driver’s mirror.
It’s literally a plug and play process. Unplug the old one, plug in the new one, reinstall.
@@DannyRocksteady Thank you for the reply and the info! Much appreciated!
The trd should come with eibachs, bigger tires, and recovery hooks
I just bought a new 21 trd and i agree it should have come standard and i wish the engine was also a turbo as well

Great video!
where can i get that raptor grille for a 2023 rav4 adventure?
Hey, nice mods. Where did you buy the orange liners did the interior?
They were bought with the car--it's a standard feature with the adventure trim.
where did you find the front bumper like that? it looks really cool tho
I have a video on the grille conversion here:
ruclips.net/video/N_Eon8_P7BA/видео.html
Dude went all out 😂
Can I know what are those ditch lights and the box that’s on the roof rack?

Nice! Thanks for the Facebook group recommendation.
What was the name
great video! I think I'm gonna smoke the mirror signals on my 4th gen and maybe vinyl wrap the mirrors black.
Thanks for checking it out!
Ah man I need those sequential turn signals. Those are sweet! Great video. Thanks
So if you have the le version are the wires still available for the mirror loghts??
Nice!! Hey question? How bout the grill lights did you put them on or they came from the factory? Like that?? They look nice too.👍
I have an install video on the grille setup here on my channel.
Love the hood idea. How is it holding up?
There’s a little hood vibration at high speed with the ditch light brackets-but should be solid on a hood without ditch lights
I loved ♥ your angle of camera to small details.
Do they make an overhead console with sunroof controls that light up? It sucks the overhead buttons don't light up.
Not that I’ve seen
Wonder how long the hood struts would last?
What roof rack do you have ? Does it completely replace the factory rails ?
Is it capable of attaching a roof top tent ?
Plenty of videos and video descriptions on my channel answer that FAQ.
This is awesome! Did you rub with that wheel and tire set up? Any spacers necessary?
No need
The first 3 I will be doing! Nice complete video.

What did you guys do to the horn? I’m interested as the current sound like a beetle
@@TacoMonster4eva hella horn plug and play Toyota kit
@@DannyRocksteady ok pls
Also the raptor grille lights , do those work on a stock adventure grill ?
Excellent video and information. Love the upgrades you’ve done. Time to upgrade my own RAV4
What roof rack and boxes are you using??
Hello. I’m planning to get rav 4 xse hybrid How’s the rav 4 driving experience?
After installing them how have they faired so far? The sequential lights and button switches
The hood struts stacked on my ditch light mounts have created a little bit of vibration in the hood, but other than that everything has performed extremely well and have not caused any issues
Good video. But removing Japanese-made parts to install Chinese-made parts seems like a bad idea. Even if they are a bit cooler.
What I like about my RAV4 is simplicity. I don't need to see lots in my window switched. That's a touch thing. You don't look down there every time you want to open a window. I'm more interested in practical options.
Does doing these mods void any part of Toyota’s warranties?
It would only void whatever part failed . So say your aftermarket turn signals messed up the wiring at some point , then you’d have no warranty covering the damage caused by then
I installed new fog lights and now my lta , headlight , and pcs malfunction. Someone please help
