5 Cheap & Easy Upgrades for 2019-2023 RAV4 Anyone Can Install!!

[@spicebabe0725]

You what I absolutely hate, that I can't see the buttons for the cabin light.

[@Wall.Street.AV.]

Same here.

[@this_foo_right_here]

Someone solved this using clear bumper dots so you can feel them.

[@daviddebergh254]

Looking at a 21 RAV4 XLE and wow I’m impressed with how much people have done to theirs.

[@andrejwalilko634]

didnt even know that the hood struts were an option, looks dope opening the hood with one hand!

[@airwalk247]

I did the hood mod and put 1/4 inch rubber mat in the space, works like a shock absorber

[@GinGin12]

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.

[@doubleaunboxing4697]

Is the backlighting for the infotainment system bright enough on sunny days?

[@SimplyCali619]

For side mirrors. You don't need pry tool just pull it from the outer edge, much faster than prying it off.

[@ReauDog]

My 22 Rav 4 has the driver side switches that light up... which ones did NOT come with the lighted switches?

[@Chitown388]

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.

[@lisajohnson8566]

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.

[@ABSVabeautifulsunsetvlog]

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✌🏽😃✌🏽

[@Jatomac]

What led lights did you go with and where did you buy them?

[@MrRaitzi]

Trunk cover that hs sides is a must to protect plastics while having stuff in the trunk

[@DannyRocksteady]

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.

[@DM-qe3ci]

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

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.

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.

Hey, nice mods. Where did you buy the orange liners did the interior?

[@MikealHughes-vg1tb]

Enjoy your KZbin 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.

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.

Wonder how long the hood struts would last?

[@jamesmckeithan6978]

Can you post links for supplies and the upgrades

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.

[@DannyRocksteady]

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!

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
