Saw this pic on RAV4World and thought it showed an interesting side-by side comparison.

The 4.2 facelift on the left does look a lot meaner with the lift plus the bar/lights and scoop

both would look even better with the roof rails

I like it

There are a few lifted Rav photos on the net, personally I think they look great given a lift. Very butch.

I might be wrong, but I think Ingolf's Rav has been lifted, Its certainly got bigger chunkier tyres.

haha

an here's me goin the opposite wi dropping the number 1 doon wi low ratio tyres.....! As it goes round the roundabouts on 2 wheels, we're looking at what mods can be tried!! Slower wasn't really one of them

One of the reasons I sold my Nissan 200SX and bought a slower, smaller engined car was to cut down my speed (I have little self-control when I have a fair bit of power under my right foot).
The standard top speed is more then enough for the roads I drive on if I want to maintain my licence to drive on them

I know what you mean hoovie, that was one of the reasons for getting rid of the XJR I like my licence

Ive lifted my Vitara , Perhaps do the same to the Rav next.

Hi Rav Man - how do you reckon the RAV4 is off-road compared to the Suzi?

Those prices are not too bad at all - and as a bonus, if you want to tow, it deals with the RAV4 problem of a low tow bar position

Ive been down a few mild green lanes in the Rav, but to be honest the lack of a low range, being too low and costing £23K, have slowed my ambitions down a little. The Suzuki was bought totally standard and ive changed it quite a bit since then. The main areas being protection (winch bumpers, skid plates and rock sliders) , giving it more ground clearance (3" suspension lift, 3" body lift) and giving it more traction (Limited slip diff, 31" Amazon tyres).

That said the Rav proved more than capable in the snow the other year and i did consider some slightly better tyres (the bridgestones are totally road biased). Pirelli do some nice All terrain ones but they are the next size up, 235's.
