How can I install a RAV4 TRD bumper part on my vehicle?
so the other day, I was trying to give my RAV4 a little TLC and decided to swap out the bumper for a TRD one. thought it’d be easy peasy, right? wrong. it’s like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
first off, I had to figure out how to take the old one off. you wouldn’t believe it, but I ended up Googling for an hour. and then there’s all these hidden bolts that you can’t even see until you’re half way through. like, why do they do that?
once I finally got the old bumper off, I thought “this is gonna be a breeze now.” but then comes the new bumper. it’s supposed to just line up but it was like playing Tetris with no instruction. do you guys have tips on getting the clips to fit right? they kept popping out on me, ugh
anyway, after a lot of grunting and maybe a few curses, I finally got it on. but it feels like a small victory. has anyone else done this? or am I just battling with my RAV4 alone?
I ve installed a TRD bumper on my 2021 RAV4 here in Michigan and it was a bit tricky at first. You definitely need some extra hands for holding it while you bolt it on.
The difference in look is so worth it though. Just make sure to keep track of all the screws trust me. It’ll save you a lot of headaches later.
So I ve been thinking about the RAV4 TRD bumper lately here in Ohio. Just got some tools ready but there’s so many screws it’s kinda overwhelming. Hoping it’s worth it in the end.
I’ve had my RAV4 for a couple years now and decided to upgrade the bumper last summer in Washington. It was easier than I thought just needed some basic tools and a solid afternoon. Not sure about all the TRD hype but it does look cool.
I remember when I put a TRD bumper on my RAV4 last summer in Colorado
it was a pain at first since I didn’t have the right tools
but once I got going it changed the whole look of my ride
so worth it honestly
I ve installed a RAV4 TRD bumper last summer in my garage in Ohio it was kinda fun but a bit tricky with all the clips and bolts. Had to watch a YouTube vid like five times before I got it right. Would recommend some extra hands if possible.
But man it really gives the RAV4 a meaner look now.
I installed my RAV4 TRD bumper last summer in Colorado and it was a bit tricky but worth it. I ve got to say watching a ton of YouTube vids helped a lot.
Make sure you have the right tools like a socket set and a torque wrench. It took way longer than expected but seeing that beefy look on my ride was awesome.
Ive been hunting for a TRD bumper for my RAV4 in Oregon the install seems tricky but worth it for that rugged look. watch a few videos first.
I have some buddies who helped me with mine and it was actually pretty fun once you get into it. Just be ready for some surprise bolts.
I installed a RAV4 TRD bumper on my 2020 RAV4 last summer I live in Colorado and it was a bit tricky at first I remember thinking where the heck are these screws hiding I ended up watching a YouTube video that saved my life honestly It looks great now and gives my SUV this rugged vibe I’ve always wanted
Definitely worth it if you’re into off-roading and that bold look
I installed a TRD bumper on my RAV4 last summer in Michigan. Thought it was gonna be a hassle but I’ve found it pretty straightforward. Just a few bolts and wiring to deal with.
The custom look is definitely worth the effort. Just be careful with alignment. It can be a bit tricky. Overall I love it. Hope yours turns out great too.
I’ve never installed a bumper myself but I remember watching my buddy do it in his garage in Oregon. Took him like forever but it was all about patience.
Honestly just follow some YouTube videos and make sure you have the right tools.
It’s a cool upgrade though looks sick on the RAV4 for sure. Good luck with it
