    Hello All
    I know I know it’s not a Tundra
    But my reason for posting is sincere
    I have a 2020 RAV4 that has been modified for light to moderate off-roading and in its defense the damn thing is really very capable ( to my surprise as well I assure you!)
    Now for my reason for inter loping in its big brothers forum
    I want to relay my experience with RRW ( Relations Race Wheels)
    In April 4/4/21 my wife ordered rock sliders ( no laughing at little brothers aspirations) from RRW
    We knew the lead time was 6 to 8 weeks and resigned ourselves to the wait
    At about 6 weeks we emailed to get status for the order ( over a 1000.00 bucks) and … silence nothing no response
    Three emails later I made known that I know the one of the owners of San Francisco Toyota and suddenly got a reply assuring us the the sliders where being powder coated and would ship out the end of the following week
    Well that week came and went and now we have returned to silence
    I am now of the belief that we will never receive the sliders
    I have given them until Tuesday 6/15 to either send me a tracking number or cancel the order
    ****** Sadly this is a buyer beware******
    The company has no customer service! Zero! Nada! Seriously NOTHING!
    And apparently no commitment to meeting customers orders
    I will say they were very efficient at receiving payment from us but so far utterly incapable of fulfilling their end of the deal
    And the worst part?
    We really liked their sliders
    Oh well
    THINK THREE TIMES BEFORE CHOOSING RRW
    YOU MIGHT REGRET IT( I know we certainly do)

    There’s a thread or two on here about RRW and problems. Check it out, maybe someone had a way to get their attention and $ back at least.
    Let’s see the Rav 4! My son is getting one from gramps and grams for his first vehicle. Would love to see what you’ve done. You lift it? They’re so damn low to the ground.

    As soon as it’s back from camping with my son I will post pictures
    Eibach makes springs that give a little lift 1.5” front and 1.2 “ rear and levels the forward rack and allows bigger rubber
    I was able to fit 17” lp3 rims with 245/65r17 KO2 bfgs with zero rub or clearance issues
    Total lift ( springs and rubber) is roughly 3.5 to 4 inches
    Also added LP aventure front bumper guard with aluminum skid plates and as soon as I can get them fabricated I am adding two more skid plates in the rear area
    I have a prinsu rack that is waiting to install when I get the moment to do so
    I sound deadened the whole rattle trap top to bottom and built out a mounting plate for our dometic fridge

    it’s fitted with a RTT which has been mostly really nice

    the lights added to the front are rigid pod light ditch lights and a rigid 20” adapt light bar
    I included a photo taken right after the light install but prior to the lift install
    Had to weld new mounts on the LP aventure bumper guard as the adapt bar wouldn’t mount and added a tube in front to protect it
    I will post more as soon as I get them taken
    Damn thing has become popular with my family so everyone want to take it for a weekend or week or in my daughters case she just want to take the darn thing

    The reason is operator failure
    I am not the most handy fella with a computer/ smartphone and as I said my tech guru( aka my son ) is out in the forest with the rav
    I promise to sort it out as soon as I figure out what the heck I did in the first place
