DIY - Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Installation Toyota 2009 Rav4

This DIY is for a 2009 Toyota Rav4 Trailer Hitch 

Today is only for the hitch I have another video of the trailer hitch wiring .

Remove hitch from box and make sure it is for your vehicle . 

On the drivers side of the vehicle will be your tow hook and on the passenger side of your vehicle will be 2 open slots where muffler is located .

When removing the bolts make sure you keep the tow hook cause you will need to reinstall it again .

Then you will soapy the rubber isolators for your muffler , Carefully slide the hooks out then use something to hold the pipe up in the air while you install the hitch .

Once side will have 3 bolts and the other side will have two , Make sure knobby side of the washer is grasping the hitch as in photo . That will keep your bolts from backing out . 

Make sure you put the hook back on the drivers side torque bolts , Put rubber isolator back for muffler pipe and you are finished .

Your hitch will come with a paper to tell you how much torque is needed on the bolts . 

This doesn't mean I can pull anything I want but I bought a highest class that can be install on this vehicle . 

This is a Draw-Tite Tube Trailer Hitch .

DIY - Repainting Stock OEM RIms using VHT Paint

This is on a Toyota Rav4 but this can be done to any vehicle . 

Issue was rims were fading so I just wanted something to make it look better - I used Rim VHT paint not just any other brand . ( Very High Temperature )

You can either wash the whole rim with Dawn soap and water , Then I used degreaser , Let is sit dry in the sun . 

I found a scotch brite pad just to scuff it a little , You can get more detailed with sand paper but these rims were faded not ruined completely . Then with alcohol for the final wipe of dust and grease .

You can use business cards to protect your tire from being hit with paint . As you can see in the photo how bad the rims were getting . 

I only did two coats because I needed the vehicle right away but if you want to add more or even clear coat that is fine . But for me this is perfect for what I'm looking for . 

Final look .

DIY - Installing Door Window Vent Visors 2009 Toyota Rav4

This is a DIY on how to install window vent visors on a 2009 Toyota Rav4 

First thing you do is to let the window vent visors lay flat in the sun for at least a hour so that it can be more flexible , Activate the glue cause once you install it and do not put it in the sun the plastic will form and the glue will get reactivated and possibly fall off or shape funny .

You clean the door frame with alcohol to remove and grease or dirt . 

Make sure before you peel the tape that you properly fit the vent visor to make sure it is correct and to know where you will be putting it on . 

Peel strip then press with your finger if you can do it out of the sun , continue pressing area for a few days especially when it is in the sun to make sure the glue sticks real good .
