    Yes I've been trying to find a fix for this. I put foam in the vents under the seats to try to help and also wrapped the AC lines under the hood with pipe foam. My 1 year old in the back seat gets hot in his car seat and sweaty. The air can't even get to him. I use a small battery powered fan to help him. And the front on a 100 plus day is still hot too. I've also attributed this to the design of the windshield angle.

    I've heard that putting in a Sequoia blower is stronger but I have heard mixed things. I would do this if it was for sure it would help..

    In the "Zone"...
    only thing i can think of is putting spacers on the outside bolts (that are now showing signs of rust) and try to get it lined up as close as possible. people flash me all the time coming the opposite direction cause its in their eyes or all the way in the ditch...

    also when i wired them in to the existing fog light harness i didnt put in a reducer relay and now when they come on the radio gets interference...

    Yes, It's better than my Honda, but not as good as my daughters 2008 Camry. I actually have to turn that thing up because I get cold.

    I would be really surprised if Toyota did a different blower motor for sequoia. Has anyone actually done it?

    Tundra P/N: 87103-0C040 Listed to fit 07-18
    Sequoia P/N: 87103-0C051 Listed to also fit 08-18 Sequoia, 11-18 Sienna.

    My guess is that the electrical motors themselves are probably the same, but the differences are in the mounting and possibly how the speeds are controlled (hence the speculation on having greater speed/volume/air flow).

    They were both listed at the same price: $119.04 https://www.toyotapartsprime.com

    I bit the bullet and just ordered a new Tundra one. Only one way to find out if the problem is a worn out blower. I've heard that the sequoia one mountd the same but you have to switch the positive and ground because they are reversed. Makes sense Toyota would use the same motor. But the idea that the sequoia high might be a little stronger is probably good enough for me. I'm not sure if I should try the sequoia one or stick with my order of the replacement tundra. 130 on Amazon.

    The reviews on the Tundra one are interesting. Buyers stating that they had what sounds like a similar problem of a weak blower and the new one improved significantly.

    The Sienna and Sequoia both have rear AC controls, wonder if that has something to do with it.

    May be a part of it, but I also think that there may be a separate fan motor for the second row passenger areas in those vehicles. I know that's how our 07 Sienna is configured. Outside of that I just kinda spit-balling.

    If anything I would go with a mesh grill. Of course in my opinion.

    I got a body mount chop and rear shackles installed today.

    Money well spent in my opinion.

    The shackles and the spacers for the driveshaft angle cured up some problems I was having. I had a real stiff rear end and some rigidity that I chalked up to the 5160s in the rear. So I lived with it for a year.

    Today I got some shackles installed and it solved all my issues.

    Only if I would have known sooner.

    I got my body mount chopped in anticipation of getting a 35s soon. Currently running 295/70/18s

    I vote after, looks better with it all being dark. Dark painted platinum insert would be the best I believe

    The headlight conversion isn’t cheap, but so worth it with light output and functionality! The LEDs are stupid bright, just hit up @xrunnerdude67 when you’re ready for a harness

    -Last week, drain and fill transmission fluid. Not hard, went back with Valvoline Max Life. 4.5 quarts came out, 4.5 quarts back in. No issues prior to change, no noticeable change afterwards. Old fluid not real bad, thinking previous owner had it serviced at some time.

    -Over the weekend did a (Speed) Clay Bar and applied some 303 Sealant. Some major water beads from this stuff. I may never wax again, maybe just reapply this stuff as the beading diminishes.
