A Different Type of Build

[drobb]

Right on! We've done several Sequioa's at the shop, just keep thinking outside the box and your mod list will never end.

Thanks flyingwil.......She's BIG, she's heavy and fondly known as "Bertha". There's not a lot of support for the Sequoias......so most is custom, which makes ya have to think wayyyyyy outside the box

Thanks Derek...... but good 'ol CA requires one and the last thing I need is a reason to get pulled over:littlefriend:

btw...Did you call BAMuffler yet? Go order one!!!!!!.........lol

Yeah I hear ya. Haven't called yet. Been busy with my truck, but soon!

I am jealous for the lack of rust....the northeast just destroys cars. We just bought an 08 V8 4runner with such little amounts of rust which is awesome (it only had 45k miles)...but it won't be long until the cancer sets in

Either way great build man....be thankful for the lack of salt.

Thanks......not a lot of rust and salt in So Cal....we're lucky if it even rains

Very nice! I considered a Sequoia before I bought the FJ. When researching it, I found very few builds. Well done sir. It's nice to see a good one.

 

[drobb]

Thanks brushogger....She's big....but the size works well for our needs.

I need to get a brake controller. I have been looking at a Tekonsha Prodigy P2 or P3. Would like to hear pros or cons from experience.

Thx!

I use the Prodigy P2 in my Tundra, and it works fine - No problems and it just plugged right into the Toyota wiring harness.

Thanks Pathfinder!....the P2 looks like it will work fine.

...on another note. I was doing some general cleaning on the Sequoia the other day. Someone had inquired about the rear cargo area. Here's a pic......and yes, there are 12 tie down points with the 3rd row seats out (our usual configuration).....gotta luv it

 

[Derek24]

I always tell people it's the same as my tundra, just with a welded on camper shell ha!

 

[drobb]

Totally agree Derek!

Well it's desert season. Making our first shake down run today with the new Sequoia setup. Can't wait to get dirty!!!

 

[marshal]

this thing needs 35s like no ones business :drool:

 

[BigTree]

Solid inspiration. Good to see the Sequoia get some love

 

[drobb]

A few pics from the shake down run at Ocotillo Wells. Windy as all HELL....lol. Overall VERY impressed with the new suspension and exhaust setup. Took the Quads out before all the wind. Then took the Sequoia out for a test run. Out Pole Line Rd. over to Shell Reef, then to Blow Sand.....Drives awesome with the new setup!!!

Nothing to do with my build, but damn this was cool. I live close to the Camp Pendleton Marine Base. I have seen various military vehicles on the fwy, but the other day this happened to go roaring by......One Bad A-- toy!!!!!!!
