I did Rav4 maintenance for my wife today. The rear springs were replaced with OEM toyota pats but the shocks got upgraded to Bilstein. All the rubber parts and the sway bar end link bushings got replaced too. You can see the lower isolator was worn though before 70,000 miles. I hit all the rusty seams with a wire brush and sprayed with rust converter before reassembly. I have the struts and springs for the front but that will require an alignment. She will have to wait until the lung pao panic is over to get that done.

Upgraded lighting. 4x4 Fabworks brackets and KC C-3 amber cube spots. Intent is for a fog lights on steroids, for help in dust, fog, rain, snow. Set the beam position between fog and driving per the KC directions, with intense light contained mostly within the low beam.

Pulled the roof rack off. Have a vibration that I'm pretty certain came from a poor weld on my part when I added a plate on the rear of the platform. Replacing the Quick FIst clamps, pre-wiring for 4 new 4" KC LZR LED's. Cleaning up some rusting areas on one of the clamps. In other words, some good old fashioned fun on a war, windy Easter afternoon.
