Very nice

 

Front Kings are straight up Tundra

 

Rears are custom due to misalignment spacers and lower mount, took ORW 3 months to get these right

 

PSB1, Bully Dog and Rear airbag controller

 

Rear shocks and rear suspension

 

My favorite part

 

My "zombie" lights

 

Awesome!

 

Nice!!

 

I live in east county I’ve seen your rig a few times I’ve always laughed at the license plate that is awesome!!

 

flag me down sometime! probably seen you around, but there's a lot more Tundras than Sequoia's in our neck of the woods

i get a lot of questions about the plate... my wife thinks i'm ridiculous, but she doesn't get it

 

Ran these headlights for a while, but the passenger U-bar LED started flickering, and i wasn't satisfied with the adjusters and light output, even with HIDs in. Went back to stock

 

these just came in the mail today! bought used, i'll post updated pic once installed

 

Another perspective. Bling!

 

Really nice!

 

How are you liking those ucas? Do they squeak at all?

 

Not a sound.

Only difference driving now is flooring it in 4wheel drive, it feels like the front end is squirly. The alignment was done but it feels so much different.

Otherwise normal driving feels the same. No off road yet

 

I think the range of motion in the front will be sufficient. This is driveway poser shot with sway bars connected. I don't know if these IRS rigs can stuff the rear tires like a solid axle can



Really need to get this thing in the dirt...

 

Very nice Sequoia. I am going to be upgrading my wife’s Highlander later this year and I want to get her a Sequoia. I started researching suspension lifts and there isn’t a lot for sequoias. Did you modify these for your sequoia? I will reach out to you whenever I pick up her Sequoia.

 

i bought a 1'x5' roll of carbon fiber vinyl wrap from Amazon ($6.55) and wrapped the instrument cluster cover. This was my first time ever using this stuff and took me about 3-4 hours and lots of cussing and burning finger tips with the blow dryer. Messed up a couple of spots (corners of the vents split), but overall am very happy with the outcome. would have worked better with a slighter wider roll, 12" was absolute minimum that would provide coverage of all the plastic.




And the pillars with what was left over

 

a set of 2018 sequoia LEDs would look perfect on your rig.

 

Bushwacker OE fender flares are on, really like the contrast and it breaks up the miles of body panels

 

Nice truck.
Those wheels are dipped? They look great. I wanna do mine. How long has it held up? What was the prep? You recommend it? I like this color brass monkey, it's a dark metallic bronze

 

yup, dipped them around June of last year so coming up on 8 months and only recently took some nicks when i had it aligned after putting the new control arms on.

prep was just following DYC instructions for cleaning prior and applying evenly. totally recommend!

i have already purchased the kit to do another set of wheels which i hope to get in the next couple of weeks. it will be the same color gold

 

there's an update in the lighting department coming soon!

 

I wonder if the new 2020 sequoia trd pro grill will fit? Not my money lol

 

Of course it will, do you really think Toyota changed even a single bolt hole in 12 years? Lol!

I'm already adding that grill to my mental "to-do" list
