What kind of mileage are you getting now with the JWT twins? I'd say 23mpg highway is pretty darn good, heck even for a stock G I never saw a whole lot better than that...

Nissan has the Murano, but the styling on that isn't something I'm too fond of.

When my new wheels come, I may throw my gold iForged on the RAV4 for kicks. lol

I think the Murano is decent looking but I didn't think it was in the same price range as the RAV4 though. I thought the RAV4 was still in the compact SUV category where the Murano is more mid-size?

Hey I'm sure you could get some springs for that thing pretty cheap too

No springs for this thing...i'm enjoying the smoother ride and don't want to worry about bending a wheel. 225/65-17 is a great cushion to pot holes compared to 285/30-20.

I once tried to keep my 'daily driver' stock..

I had a bmw 540i, that was my fast, fun car. I got a 1998 4th gen maxima as my daily driver/beater. Well, shortly afterwards I found out that a y-pipe could give you 10 to 15whp on the 4th gen! Pretty amazing.... so I got one...



Fast forward three months later and my 2004 VQ35DE engine swap was complete I've since given up on the idea of keeping a stock daily, lol. Hell I almost threw a turbo kit on my wife's corolla

Here's hoping your RAV stays stock for longer than my maxima did!

The daily driver was purchased for a specific purpose. It's a compact SUV, so speed is not in the works. Fuel economy and utility is what it's main use will be for.

I was always paranoid driving the G after it snow'd/ice'd...hate the idea of sliding around on some pricey wheels and possibly messing stuff up.

I took this around 9PM last night. By 11PM it was about 4" when I went outside to clear off my satellite dish. And it was still coming down.
