I don't think there is a manual specific radiator available anymore. If you look on RockAuto's web site, a couple of the options show a diagram with a few measurements. You might want to compare them to what your old one looks like. I guessing they will fit, you just have to be sure to cap...

I believe the wheel base is the same for all T100's. You might try entering the VIN# for both trucks into a Toyota parts website and see if it pulls up the same frame part# (if you can get the VIN off the donor truck). Some sites will list multiple frames but both partsouq.com and...

You might try an 1 1/2" Dremel cut off wheel on the nut if it will fit.

You should ask you friend if he ever changed the spark plugs and if so, when. If I were a betting man, I would guess the old plugs are probably approaching the 100K mile range.

I'm amazed of how well it drives (now at 102k miles). No, it's not built to the same standard as the Land Cruiser, but if you research SUV's with the best longevity, the Land Cruiser is the only SUV that beats the Sequoia. If the Land Cruiser fits your needs and you can afford it, then you...

The BKR6EGP (and the Denso K20R-U) are factory equivalent . The BKR6EGP is one of the recommended sparks plugs for the 4.7 according to the NKG website. The BKR6EYA are "Fouling Resistant" and the BKR6EGP are "Platinum Alloy Fine Wire". They all have the same heat range. The biggest...

Last year I moved from a 1999 Land Cruiser to a 2002 Sequoia. My thoughts. For your needs, I would probably go with the Sequoia. The LC is better for off-road and has better aftermarket off-road support but that doesn't sound like a major concern for you. Where the Sequoia will serve you...

I was wondering if anyone has run the 16 inch "Snowflake" wheel off a 2005-12 Tacoma on their 1st Gen Sequoia/Tundra? There is a set with tires (which is what I'm really after) for a decent price locally as long as they bolt on. If I have to remount the tires on my current rims, the price...

I'm assuming it is a 1st gen Sequoia. I found the video on this thread helpful, especially on how to open the hatch before you try to remove the inner panel. https://www.toyotanation.com/threads/rear-door-latch-problem-03-sequoia.388489/ I was able to use a large Allen wrench to open the...

Another possibility is that it was a model only available through Southeast Toyota Distributors and not Toyota Motor Sales, USA.

If I were to guess, it was a dealer installed option package on a normal Tacoma to emulate the TRD package and pad their profit margin.

I'm sure they are recommending in due to the age. The manual calls for a timing belt every 90,000/72 months. From what I have read, it seems like the later VVT-i 4.7 (2005+) is more prone to engine damage due to a broken timing belt compared with the older non-VVT-i ones. The timing belts...

I'd be wary since according to the Carfax, it spent most of its life in the north east.

There are several videos on Sequoia lock/actuator removal. This is one example. Looks like the OEM lock/actuator assembly runs about $225-250 online. 690400C020 Front Left 690300C021 Front Right Double check to make sure that these are the right ones for your Sequoia.

Thanks for all the interest in my Land Cruiser. I took a deposit tonight from a local buyer. Sad to see it go but he seems very excited to get it.
