Default pimped out rav4 before and after

so my dad wanted to buy a jeep with 4wd but wanted a 2.0 as he doesnt want to pay high tax. i have never been a fan of these jeeps as i always thought they were a bit puny looking. anyway he put 19 inch alloys on it, set of side steps, wind deflectors and i paid to have the front windows tinted, oh and he fitted a tow bar. i was actually impressed with the end result. all comments welcome
cheers

I was expecting to say it looked shite to be honest. I was however wrong, I actually think that looks really rather smart

Ive noticed that. the big american SUV pimped gangsta look seems to have invaded our shores except of course CHAVs cant afford an escalade or a hummer (or even a recent range rover) so put bling on a old jap import or as you say an l200 or similar.

Whats even more funny/annoying is you meet such 4x4s on a narrow road and they refuse to get even and inch of thier 24" wheels muddy and basically mean you in your road car have to go offroad because the bellend cunt in his offroader is afriad to go... erm.. offroad rediculous situation really.

Looks ok mate. I used to work on toyota and did a bit of work on these.

There was recall on these cause 5gear used to fall off inside the gear box.

Good look for when it needs a timing belt done.

Looks quite tidy for what it is, the side steps have beefed the side up nicely.


Cheers,

I was on a very narrow country road myself last week and a new white Range Rover coming towards me would not move over and I had to scrape the side of my car in the hedge to avoid hitting it!! Selfish and arrogant!!! I was well pissed off. Luckily I was not in my Saff!!!

Funny thing is tho most of these cars are on lease the fookers cannot afford to buy a new one.
