    So I guess I messed up. I went to take a crack at the VVTi change last night and it appears the timing chain slipped after I had already laid down paint marks (pic attached). After drawing paint marks, I went to go turn the crank 10 degrees CCW to relieve tension as the TSB says, then went to...

    Hello, this forum post is almost a last resort before going to a mechanic and spending more $$$. My 2007 Rav4 2.4L engine shakes super aggressively when stopped and in Drive. Like at a stop light or anytime really when I am stopped. Only does it in drive, everything is normal when you're in...

    Hey all! I have a Toyota 2010 Rav4 with 147k miles. It’s the base model with a 4 cylinder. About 3 years ago we noticed that when going in reverse, if you gas it a bit, there is a hesitation. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is but the feeling you get is that the car is going over a...

    So I noticed today that there's a slightly bigger gap on the passenger side part of the hood near the headlight and extending past that towards the windshield. Does anyone know if that's normal? I just bought this car and it was brand new, so maybe I am being a bit anal about it, but it seems...

    I'm looking to install the "Trigger 2100 Wireless Accessory Controller 4-Switch Relay System" into my 2018 Hybrid. I have no idea how to connect anything to the battery or 12v switch. How would I go about this?
  7. 4.1 D.I.Y. and Modifications
    I bought my 2000 rav4l 4 door about 4 months ago and I’ve been loving it, but I really am feeling underpowered when it comes to acceleration and hp. So I’m looking to upgrade in any way I can, I’m not incredibly mechanically minded and my bank account is somewhat lacking so I’m looking for cheap...

  12. 4.1 Faults & Fixes
    Hello again, I planned on replacing the valve cover gasket however I can’t seem to get it removed, what is blocking it and how did you guys remove it? I was able to remove a couple more nuts/bolts but the problem would be that coolant would spill out more (unless there’s another leak…) My main...

There’s a used 2020 Rav4 (XLE) with most the add ons making it 80% of the way to an XLE Premium, which is odd but it checks most of our boxes and...

    I'm new to this whole world of caring about cars so please excuse my lack of know-all, but after getting my 2020 RAV4, this forum has inspired me to venture into the world of aftermarket. Recently, I purchased the KMC Bully wheels to swap with my 17in OEM wheels. First, I brought it to the tire...

    Throwing a hail mary here... I have the Thule WingBars and Podium with locks, but am desperate to get my hands on the THULE FIT KIT 3177, as Thule direct and virtually all online retailers are backordered until September.
