Installed my Drink Docker, and cleaned the interior a bit. Which I always seem to need to do after my wife drives it. 
What have you done to your RAV4 today?

Don't have the lights mounted yet, but once I have the brackets on then the rack will be cleaned up and sprayed with black rockerguard paint (super durable and looks good).
Thanks! I don't just yet...I will once I get the lights on and have it all painted. I tried to keep the rack as low to the roof as possible and it's fairly easy to install but virtually impossible to steal (it cannot be removed without an air ratchet). :
The uprights look pretty gross right now...but it's because I used muratic acid to strip the galvanized coating off prior to welding. It will be cleaned up really good prior to paint.:

Just a little teaser but I gave it some shiny! From a phone so no prize winners but the pearl is there for all to see. The entire car gleams like that. (click pics three times for a close up)

Took the roof rack off and tack welded on the brackets to mount the lights. Have to finish welding them, clean up the rack and then paint. Wait a few more days and then it'll be on the Rav and ready to wire up. :
:Finished painting the roof rack last night, felt really wasteful while painting as you realize how much overspray you have when you're trying to paint expanded mesh! :lol:
Also painted up the front Toyota emblem on the Rav (had the chrome stripped off a few weeks ago). It's a nice gun metal grey color.
Should be getting the rack on in the next few days, along with mounting the lights, installing the Toyota emblem and reinstalling the caps (which I covered in 3M DI-NOC carbon fiber adhesive) for the roof rack rails.
Next it'll be wiring in the lights and then possibly doing the dual battery setup.:

Hopefully this weekend! Just have to give the Rav a good carwash (couldn't wash it with the rack on as it was exposed steel) and toss the rack on. Lights won't be wired up yet...but I am going to order a Blue Sea fuse box before adding any new circuits to the Rav:make sure to post pics!
I thought one of my halo's went out on my black projector headlights. I got a chance to check it out today and it was just a lose connection. All is well.

They were installed crappidly after I had to replace my front bumper from getting side swiped, therefore they got ripped to shreds during winter with holes all over them from my tires rubbing against em.
In other news!
Got the trucklet detailed inside and out today... to get ready for the big day Monday...
