    Anyone here have any experience with Sequoias?

    I just happened to look at this thread again, lots of nice looking rigs in here folks!! I'm actually just selling our 03 Sequoia as the wife wanted to start RVing so I bought an 08 to get that 5.7 for the extra towing capacity. Yes 05 i think these 1st gen Sequoia's got a 5 speed automatic and...

    Best 4runner for new driver

    Oh I'll likely chap some folks. I'd recommend a 3rd gen over a 1st or 2nd for safety and reliability. I haven't owned a 4th gen but I think you'd get traction control, more air bags as said above etc. Ive still got a 3rd gen, have owned several, love it still. Biggest safety issue I had sending...

    My wife wants a Sequoia...thoughts?

    Really different vehicles comparing a Sequoia to a LC. We've had an 03 Sequoia for several years and recently bought an 08. The 5.7 is harder on fuel in town but no worse perhaps better on the highway. 4 speed tranny compared to a 6 speed though. I absolutely love the added torque of the 5.7...

    What to watch out for when buying a 4runner?

    I think there was a used buyers guide at the top of the 3rd gen 4runner section. The others have the highlights, 3.4L to me for the extra power but timing belts and water pumps need replacing together as to whichever fails first. Non interference engine so a broken belt leaves you stranded but...

    Anyone here have any experience with Sequoias?

    We have owned our 03 SR5 for several years. Recall on lower front ball joints, some have blown out and happened to see another one at the local dealership a few weeks back. The rear latch can fail. I had to address a loose heat shield on an exhaust manifold. Ours is part of the recall for the...

    2015 4Runner SR5 rim and tire sizes that will fit

    Just wondering if 16 inch rims from my 3rd gen runner and 03 sequoia will fit/clear the callipers etc. I've also got a set of FJ 17 inch rims which I hope will work to?? What size of tire can one run without rubbing on these new 4Runners?

    Driveline vibration

    thinking that an option might be to take it to a shop that does leaf spring work. Not sure if adding another or replacing 1 or more could resolve the issue. I used to get my 1/2 ton chevy work trucks in to add 2 leafs to the factory stack to maintain ride height while carrying a fair amount of...

    The Thundra needs a new rear end.

    I would be thinking a wrecker as well unless you can find someone parting out a vehicle. Could price new but gear sets are usually pricey. I wonder if any cross references to earlier models?? The odd guy has been converting to solid axles so perhaps try Pilot on here ??

    02 tundra starter

    It makes me wonder what the teeth look like that the starter teeth have been trying to mesh with? I don't think that Toyota's normally require any shimming for alignment like an older GM would for instance but it makes me wonder if the teeth are still ok on the torque converter and that some...

    Good idea to put 99 runner rims on an 03 sequoia

    well I tried putting my 99 16X7 alloys onto my 03 sequoia tonight.. no go folks... it rubs on the front caliper plan B now for winter tires..I guess new or just peel them off the runner rims and install them on the sequoia rims.

    Is there such a thing as

    well I think you are into a 2005 or newer to get the 4.0L I would think the other options would be available each year but...:hhmm:

    Looking at a 1999 4Runner

    I'm thinking that when we are talking about $1000 bucks either way then the potential repairs it may need is something to look at. When were all the fluids changed? what needs changing? include brake, steering and coolant especially. Then of course the diffs, tranny fluid and t-case. I really...

    Good idea to put 99 runner rims on an 03 sequoia

    Wondering if anyone thinks this is a bad idea? I have a set of snow tires mounted up on 99 4Runner rims and would like to just bolt them onto my 03 Sequoia. I won't be towing anything but just wondering if the extra weight is fine on these rims? Same size tires 265/70R16 I searched some other...

    Tell me about Sequoias

    I'm not certain I understand the seating difference that Bigtree mentions between the years. We are generally pretty happy with our 03 4x4 that we have had for 2 years now. I looked for good maintenance records and a recently changed timing belt as the 4.7 is an interference engine although...

    EMERGENCY!! 5VZ-FE Head Gasket Question

    The idle speed will drop as it runs for the first few minutes from cold. I'd have to check but I think a warm idle speed is about 800 or close to that. Drive might be a bit less but within 100 if I recall what mine do. Don't know about best practices on using thread sealant or not. I wouldn't...

    What happened to my 5VZ-FE?

    I admire those who want to rebuild but isn't a guy time and money ahead by just putting in a complete engine from a wrecker?

    3rd gen 4runner rear hatch wiring question

    My fuse that fed that was AM1 which is a 40 amp fuse so it would take quite a bit to smoke it. Unless that circuit to the rear hatch is fused lower elsewhere.
