I'm pretty disappointed with my rack purchase experience so far. I bought a Bravo rack for my 2021 RAV4 with a pano roof, based on UpTop advertising this rack as working with the panoramic sunroof. Unfortunately, it absolutely doesn't work with the sunroof -- at least if you want it to open. Any attempt to open the roof hits the crossbars. All it would have taken is measuring twice, cutting once before sending these out in production. Worse, when they sent me the kit, the instructions were wrong, as were the references to included parts. Found that out in the middle of an install.
Do you guys have roof rails still filling the Rav4's channels? I asked uptop overland about the rack, and they said their rack installs like a prinsu, so what's the deal with your Rav4 appearing to still have the OEM rails on it underneath??
For every modular roof rack that requires you to remove the OEM rails, you'll always have to bring down the headliner. That's Toyota's fault, not anyone else's, as it's OEM bolts that you gotta remove behind the headliner.
what tire size are those? Are you planning on doing a lift?? I wish the rav4 came in a 3.0 engine option.... Man the size of the vehicle is great, but i want more power. So maybe the prime will be my next rav4...
I have the exact same set up. How did you cover the drip rails after rack install? Also where did you run the wire to get from engine compartment to the inside? Any ideas why my harness fuse blows every time I turn on the light bar?
more Rav4 content please. Nice build
2019 Toyota RAV4 XLE looks awesome!! cant wait for more 2019 Toyota RAV4 XLE content...
Did you have to remove the roof rails in order to install this rack?
Finally, I’ve been waiting for this one to come out. Install video???
Maybe when we have another one come in for an install
Can’t wait for the lift video.
We need to finish editing that video soon!
Same, lots of amateur lifts of RAV4s out there, I want to see how your shop does it
Where's the install?
Nice build man I have an xle hybrid as well and thinking of doing the same thing as your build. Has your mpg lowered with the wheels you have on?

How do the brackets to the roof rack attach to the roof? And what do the brackets look like?
Wish they came out a year earlier with the rav would have gotten instead of highlander looks so good
Wish the gas tank was bigger on it as well. maybe like a 17-18 gallons
Nice stuff buddy!
So do you have to undo the roof liner to install or do i just pop it on like a cross bar???

id skip the awning thats a big kick out, but otherwise its dope
What does a kick out mean? Like a lot of wind drag? In terms of mpg bad?
Looks good.
This is great! I'm curious on what your MPG is after your tire install along with MPG after rack/RTT install.
We were still getting around 32 MPG
32mpg w/ the camper + awning & new tires? Not bad
@@Jclicky that is AWESOME 🤩
On the rav4 tire upgrade , was there any rubbing with ko2s?
I was wondering the same thing. Did the offset play in any part of the fit of the larger tires
I’m running 245/75/16 bfg ko2s with a 0 offset and 2 inch lift, very minimal rubbing when at full lock
They are running a 245/65/17 with a +28 offset no lift. I wanted to keep 17 inch wheels
What is the current MPG with the wheel tire and rack?
Will I have to go into the inside of the car and remove the headliner to install this

Who installed your roof rack I am also So. Cal. LA and Inland empire area
Where is the link to the extreme LED lightbar?

I forget but we have a video on the tire size. But the hybrid engine is pretty good, even with bigger tires
Would I be able to build a rolf deck on top?

We chopped the rail and stuck it back on. There are a lot of rubber grommets to enter the inside so we picked one. Something is wired wrong
Does this RAV4 have a panoramic roof?
How’s the wind noise with just the rack? It doesn’t look like you guys drove it without the accessories, but just asking
No wind noise at all
This setup is very cool!! Where can one find those awesome looking wheels and tires?
