Super stout! Went to Hollister Hills SVRA over the weekend for some off road fun... shovel and axe didn't budge one bit. As far as locking mechanism, we'll probably just run cheap bike locks thru the handles and around the rack itself. Breaks are squealing, sorry about that

Meeting at Santa Rita Mickey D's. What route are we taking to Pollock Pines?

Hi All! This is my 2001 4WD/AWD RAV4, been in the family since new. Stock suspension, does fine on the novice and moderate OHV park trails in my area with the 4cyl... but certainly do have to watch that approach angle. An old man emu 1.5-2" lift is on the long list of wants... No performance...
