Hi mate. No worries. That was after some heavy rain that we had for a few days. Still waiting for some snow though. That will be fun when we get some or it might be a bloody miracle if we get some in Bristol. 🤣
Hi mate cheers for that. I have replaced all the coil springs and shocks and it has a 40mm lift kit (not that it looks like it at the back) don’t know what seems to be wrong with the rear as the front is nice and high but rear not so much so gonna see if I can get longer rear springs plus stronger ones so it don’t sag under weight. I’ve replaced std size tyres with 235/70/16 a/t to give it more height as well. If you’re going to get a rav mk2 then I would suggest diesel due to much better mpg and better torque, mine’s petrol and it seems to have a drinking problem 🤣
@@rav4offroad Ahhh brilliant mate!! By any chance where do you get the lift kit from and is it permanently 4 wheel drive or what mate can’t quite work it out online and does it also have diff lock?? The One I’m looking at is a diesel i believe I can imagine the petrol engine has a big drinking problem haha 😅🤣
@charlieedward8909 Hi mate most are permanent 4wd with the exception of some of the 2door versions that are 2wd. The lift kit I got is from eBay the brand is terrafirma, think I paid about £180 but if fitting it yourself careful when torquing down the top strut mount bolts as they don’t seem to take as much torque as the original bolts coz I snapped one when I fitted mine 🤦♂️ but they did send out a few replacements so that was good.
Nice off-roading at the night, thanks for sharing Ben.

Soon be time to get my swb d4d lifted
Do it, you won’t regret it. Then try either wheel spacers or wheels with 0 offset so they stick out a little. 👍🏻
