Most people dont realize how much this mod can make on handling adding the brace to the original one make a big difference also having a lower one depending on suspension setup help also add to the rear will help also it allows and upgrade of shock work way better then body flex judt adding gussets at drive line attachment point makr a world of difference or adding seams weld were body panels are spot welded will stiffen the chassis credibility in a unibody car this help if u dont want to add a cage and hide most the work thankfully if had pleasure of riding in car with seam welded in many areas and it felt like my full cage car just cost of welding structure point and some little braces

Hey Paul, I really enjoy your channel. I'm subscribed and have all notifications turned on but I received no notification. It might be my setting but I thought I'd mention it. Also, I did double check my notifications settings

There's a reason I have 38 repair videos. This car is cute, but it's old and needs tons of repairs. A first generation RAV4 isn't a car, it's a car repair hobby.

Hello Paul ! I like your videos a lot because I have a rav4 the same, a while ago I searched for videos on how to adjust the back lash on these cars but I haven't found any, it's great that you make one, greetings from Costa Rica 👋

Cusco also made also made a front strut bar as well. I had one and it cost $150 at the time, but I never got around to installing it (sold it back to my friend) because the US battery was too big so it didn't fit.

Are these OEM braces only found on the RAV or will one from another model work as well? In your opinion did it change the ride feel at all?

Hey Paul, What could be causing some popping and bogging at 2/3 - 3/4 throttle on a 150cc GY6 scooter? Can you think of anything electrical that can be.causing this? I've already installed 3 new carburetors, 3 different csi boxes, different coil wires, and a couple other things and I can't seem to get rid of it. Can you help me please?
