RAV4 Front Brakes / Beginner Breakdown
Video:
A lot of people get charged so much for basic maintenance on their car. I thought I needed brakes so I decided to make a video showing how to: use your jack, how to use jack stands, how to remove and replace your brakes, and also your rotors. Beginner Style video! I’m glad I got to return mine for a return… hope I helped you!!!

    Hi Smithey, you have good idea in this video. However, you have to assume that we who watch these type of videos lack the necessary technical knowledge. Therefore, you have to take us step by step as if we have no clue. So you have to take close up photos for wire connections to see what color of wire and exact location and other information. Thank you and hope you edit this video for future clarification.

    • @smitheys
      @smitheys 2 дні тому

      I really wish I could help but my radio was defective and didn’t last long. I put a 2 month review video that mentioned my misfortune. What I would do is take out the radio and put in the original. See if it comes back on. If it does, put the radio back in and make sure you check your connections when putting it back in. Make sure they are all secure, all the pins aren’t coming out, etc. If it doesn’t come on with the Dasaita but does with the factory radio, reach out to Dasiata. You may have a defective unit. Sorry I couldn’t help more.

    I actually installed my oem hitch using your video. The new Toyota box did not have the instructions or template in i as it was suppose to and it was labor day weekend. It also was missing the nice rubber hitch plug.Your video was a lifesaver. I taped up the painted areas to avoid damage. I also wrapped rags around the exhaust tips . My Rav is the XSE Prime with painted bumper so cutting into it was scary. Did the job by myself but would be better to have a helper especially when disconnecting all the sensors and cameras from the rear bumper. Thanks again

No upgrades are really cheap anymore. Everyone that makes something interesting prices them to get rich quick. They do look great though, so no regrets. I wouldn’t buy them again though, FYI.

    • @smitheys
      @smitheys 26 днів тому

      No problem! Thanks for watching! With those reviews… take them with a grain of salt. People sometimes don’t like figuring things out and just return and complain. A lot of people don’t know the parts they were “missing” were in the bar itself. Rhino don’t tell you, i thought mine were missing until I just happened to open them and they fell out. Those bars are extremely noisy if you don’t cover that gap with the rubber, that are hidden in the bar. Good luck deciding! Hopefully you get a good set like I did if you go that route.
