Your Sequoia build is the reason why I traded in my GX460 for a 2nd gen tree. Love it. Also, I’m from Kitsap, so that just made it even cooler knowing you’re around the area. I’ve got a premium as well and trying to decide between rear air spacers or full on Dobinsons lift. I’ve had Dob’s on my FJC and loved it. Love the build man. Also thought of adding rear towing airbags to dob’s suspension to eliminate any sagging when fully loaded or trailering.

Oh hell yes! If you’re gonna tow just leave the airbags and add the tandem pucks along with shock spacers and you’re golden. If you’re not towing so much I’d go full dobi and eliminate the airbags

@@CoolGuyClub thanks for the info! Looks like I’ll be going with the dob’s lift since won’t be trailering as much. I’ll be adding the Firestone Coil Rite airbag system as well for added support in case of sag. Simple install and locating the air valve near the hitch makes filling up the bags as easy peasy. Saw the mod on a few GX builds.

A lot of good info. I'm currently debating what to buy to take the place of my 21 tundra. Tundra is alright and all, but my 1st gen sequoia seemed a lot more useful, and I was never expected to use it at work, whereas it is assumed if you have a truck the company is free to burden you with its use when no company trucks are available. I've been looking at RHD cruisers and prados but I really liked my 1st gen Sequoia, I was sad when I rolled it. Anyway, that little laser cut piece on the dash you were upset about the lead time. Chances are it was done through a service like xometry, oshcut, send cut send etc... and though their turn around is usually really fast for raw parts....powder coat can add SEVERAL weeks and sometimes even a month or 2. If they made them in house I would be disappointed, but as a person who makes stuff through these companies...I have my local guy powder coat any parts and sometimes he is backlogged 6+ weeks. Just a thought.

On your rack, it used 80/20 extruded aluminum. These crossbars accept 1/4-20 hardware. This can be 1/4-20 carriage bolts, t nuts, or drop in t nuts. While M6 is super close to 1/4-20, 1/4-20 is the best fit!

@@CoolGuyClub true. I agree. But my sequoia is a 2008 5.7 Sr5 premium (JBL and leather) with 216k miles. It runs like new, but I’m trying to decide what to actually spend money. It’s interior is still amazing, except a tiny bit of wear in the driver leather. The exterior is good except it needs a paint job and three tiny door dings from the kids haha. I really want to get it painted but everywhere said “$3500-6500” and it’s only worth about $9000 if I sell it due to the mileage. But, to replace it with a newer sequoia, as you know, would be anywhere over $30k. So….time will tell. She’s been great to me! I did just drop a $750 pioneer dmg-wt3800 9” wireless CarPlay touch screen. That required a $140 wire harness so I can maintain my factory JBL amp…so if I go spending too much my wife may get after me. Haha!

Had a rtt and awning on and off and realized it was starting to bend the spots it mounts on… plus the front mounts wore out the paint… normally I’d get annoyed but I have a heavy foot and think the bouncing around on trails helped as well… definitely shoulda done front runner or anything else other then a slim line roof rack.
