08 Sequoia build

Thanks man! I’m actually lookin into building a 4 runner and going solid axle up front. The sequoia is great, I had my 3 neices my nephew and my two boys on the last little trip. But I want something I can hammer on.

 

Great build!

 

Looks killer

 

Thank you. I thinking I’m going air locker next.

 

I'm jealous

 

Nicely done!
You should join us on our Big Bear run in September. I need someone to run some harder trails with.

 

Idk why 35”s look big on everyone else’s rig but mine

Looking really good. SC’d sequoia was up for sale recently and it took everything I had not to pull the trigger on it...awesome vehicles.

 

Would you happen to know if anyone makes a conversion kit to remove a platinum sequoias air ride for springs? Or is it easy and just replace air for spring?

 

That's a really tuff looking ride. Nice work!

 

Damn! That's a BA Sequoia build!!!

 

badass!

 

Damnit I haven’t been on the site for a while... I’m definitely down for some trails! Are you from the IE?

 

Hahah see I think my 35s look to small. Ive been looking into doing somethin else here. I freaking love my rig, I know everyone says they are to big but I’m 6’8” and it’s perfect for me.

 

I actually don’t. Unless the spring pocket was a different size would be the determining factor.

 

Thank you!

 

i'm curious what your ride height measurements are at the front and rear fenders? i'm sitting at 38 3/4" all around, but i always want more!

i know those 35's are gonna bump you up a bit, but i dig your Sequoia. working on a few things for mine and then getting around to my build thread as well...

We need more Sequoia's upgrading so we get better aftermarket support!

 

I’m not really sure of the ride height. I actually never measured. I put my front coils to be about a 3 1/4 and my rear is 1 3/4 above stock.
I definitely agree! I’m going to build a rear bumper soon. And a roof rack.

 

Here’s a little lifting action. Not a really good picture but you get the idea.

 

this is almost as good as porn

 

I ended up pulling the rear bags out and used spring LCA paired with the dobinson spring. We just got it all setup on 35’s

 

Are your dobinsons rear springs the max lift height they offer? I'm still trying to figure out what springs my Sequoia has, lift was installed by previous owner.

 

It’s not my truck, but yes the springs are the max height they offer. Owner wanted more height so we had put in a small spacer on top of that. Needs a little longer shock. The dobinson shock is too short.

 

I believe the biggest they offer is the 1 3/4for the rear.

 

That’s what I’m running.

 

It’s a decent setup, but it needs a custom shock/shock hoop get gain a bit more travel.

 

I'm gonna do some before and after flex shots with sway bars attached, then fronts disconnected then rears disconnected. I think we can get a fair amount of articulation out of this IFS/IRS combo. Traction aids will pick up where flex leaves off.

Anyone know ARB part number for a rear air locker?

 

you need more pics in this thread man

 

What do you want to see? I’m kinda tapped out on what I’ve done so far.

 

I was mostly kidding, just living vicariously! You painted the grille black?

 

Hey Chris @08sequoia nice build. I'm working on a Sequoia build myself and would love to see what you ended up doing with the rear shock mounts if you wouldn't mind sharing.

Thanks
