    Lifted, off-road, needs minor body parts replacement, has canopy attached to Driver side roof, all new front and rear suspension work. (now doing shocks) MAF (swapped myself) New rack and pinion steering, setting up for trip. CAR CAMPING!!! Adding device to increase MPG. SEQUOIA V8 Batman Dark Knight SHATTERED. Love driving my Sequoia Limited 4x4 sounds mean, tough, I can handle anything in it. Desperately need RUNNING BOARDS, mostly for my father my hero, best friend (Air Force vet 28yrs, Parkinsons Owns him, he won't give in). Sequoia was a project for my Dad and I to teach me, learn from him. But, his advanced form of Parkinsons has taken that from us. My new title aside from being his caregiver is "GREASE MONKEY" Thank you Dad, I love you!!
    My dad and I, project for a road trip.
    06 Sequoia Limited 4x4.
    Advanced form of Parkinsons advanced faster than expected.
    So I read everything I can. Watch YouTube videos and most days bounce questions from Dad. MY GOAL: finish it, before he passes. My dad. Born in an Era girl's have there place, definitely not working on cars. I've worked on cars off and on since high-school with now ex-
    Husband. So far I've proven to my dad. I'm mechanical (grease monkey) lol! But, your a girl you shouldn't do this, it's a boy's job. But, I love working on my vehicle I love car's. As frustrating as they can be I enjoy it
    My dad gave me his own set of tools. THOSE ARE THE BEST!! Surprised me with my own Sequoia mechanic book, he said read and study it- IT is read worn, and work worn now has grease, and tears of frustration on it. LOL!! Best gift a girl can get from her Father.
    Thank you so much Dad, I love you.
    My dad's message now is. depend on yourself not a man, it's better to WANT someone in your life on your terms. Don't ever get yourself in a position that you NEED someone to survive. There is a difference, I see that now........I will miss my dad, my hero, my best friend I hope I have him around as long as possible every moment I get with my dad is a GIFT.
    Anyway I will be asking A LOT of questions. I'm glad I found a place for those questions!!
    Thank you for listening and thank you for having me.
    Denise Batman65.

    Welcome to the site. The days of "men do xxx and women do xxx" are coming to an end. We still have roles that we separately fall in (obviously).

    Sorry to hear about your Dad, but it's great that you are learning from him and he is passing down his knowledge. As an extra bonus, you get to spend valuable time with him.

    Post up some pictures of your Sequoia when you get a chance. :cool:
