The Toyota Rav4 Crawler project finally finds its limits and hits the ceiling of its performance envelope on the trail. Our little high mpg, low-cost friend gets in over its head and has to call it quits. Is this the end of the trucklet as we know it?

The progress on our little Toyota Rav4 project continues. In this installment we swap out our mild mannered street tires for some Dunlops more suitable for the dirt so we no longer have to worry about getting mired in the mud.

Our Toyota Rav4 hits the trail for its first shakedown run. We explore the Cleveland National Forest while testing out the Armor Craft skidplate. Check it out as we put our low-budget four-wheeler through its paces.

We usually find 4-wheel disc brake systems on off-road race cars, race trucks and purpose built rock crawlers. It's this race technology that we want to tap into for our trail rig.

Rigging PIAA trail lights for the Rav4-Crawler was not difficult, but complicated. Small steps needed thinking out, and important details couldn't be left wanting for the right way to sort them.
