Ill get some pics if he gets stuck, and it does say 4wd on the back of his hatch. Hes got very little clearence, but he thinks he has to try so oh well.

I wheeled my Porche 914 way back when cause my truck was down and I wanted to ride. Threw some 31s on the rear and all was good in the mud and hills, rocks were another story. I'm guessing he doesn't plan on doing anything too crazy in the Rav4 or else you may need to plan on a trailer to get it home.

heck even I'm knocking on wood over here, I don't think anybody could stand the embarrassment of having a toyota pull you out. Whatever you do don't stuck
