Comments: "My RAV4 is a 1996 Forest Green GX Automatic. It has genuine Toyota additions as follows: Arch extensions (fender flares), stainless steel bull bar, stainless steel side protection and a stainless steel rear step. The stainless steel rear wheel cover and the towbar are not Toyota (too expensive). I am fortunate that I live only a few miles from the North Staffs 4X4 Centre (Formula 4x4) which is one of the largest 4X4 after market suppliers in the UK.
My tires are on standard Toyota steel wheels and are BF Goodrich P215/70 R16 99S M+S on the sidewall. What I really like is the raised white lettering. They give a good ride and about the same road noise as the originals (Dunlop GrandTrek) but they are much chunkier!!"

"I have an interesting mod (as seen in the thumbnail photo on the right) for those who have purchased a stainless steel spare wheel cover. Instead of having a boring black centre why not use the "redundant" original by cutting a hole through the middle of the black cover. I think it is a great improvement."
