Good video as always! I was working on this too since the 2AR never came with a power steering pump and I didn't want to make a bracket to mount one. The EPS I grabbed was from a 2012 RAV4, which is mostly the same size as the prius one you used but has a larger diameter motor. Living in AZ I didn't want to lose those vents so I made it a "later project". I actually completely depowered the rack (removed the valve, the internal seals, welded all of the ports closed, and filled the rack with grease) and it was surprisingly easy to turn completely stationary without any assist, so I actually left it alone. Much easier than a powered rack with disconnected lines
Hey you should try to make the rav4 rear glass go up in down like the 4 runners have it i kinda wanna try to do it to mine so i will be experimenting with a fj mechanism and a junkyard rav4 door

Keep cranking out amazing Rav4 vids, Im going big on my rav4 with custom rear suspension and a full st205 swap looking for about 300-350hp cause it is my daily but wanna do a little off rally action on the weekends hence the custom rear suspension! awesome stuff my man! keep up the good work!
Sounds awesome, glad to see more love for the rav4’s coming in. Thanks for watching, I have quite a few things left for this little car! I think lab coat Paul will have some more videos coming with some of the parts I’m making for the ravs soon.
