Self-proclaimed “dirtheads” Fred and Dave are back with another episode of Dirt Every Day airing on the MotorTrend YouTube Channel. This time around the guys take on a FWD RAV-4 with the goal of converting it into a hardcore rock crawler the guys dubbed the RAD-4. What might seem straight forward on the surface required the guys to relocate the engine to the front passenger seat, build a cage and custom subframe install a pair of built solid axles front and rear with the help of a pair of BDS (Jeep XJ) long arm crossmembers, BDS (XJ) long arms, BDS builder joints, FOX 2.5 remote coilovers, full hydraulic steering and a set of 35s. Check out video to see how the guys went from stock to rock (crawler) posted above and available on YouTube.
