    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    On the front of the car I was able to free up the front most two bolts. The front-rear bolts would not move and I didnt try the tie rods. Car aligned good enough for me considering all the work I did and I have much more confidence in my driveway alignment skills. The tech said the tie rods...

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    Put a set of 5 bargain walmart Cooper Discoverer AT 275/60/20 (33") tires on there. Car swallows them right up and they look stock. Should have gone for 35" E load range tires which look like they would fit. Still needs an alignment but I am going to play with the front end and see if I can...

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    Last part was mounting the fuel tank torquing everything and giving it a driveway alignment. Mounting the fuel tank from the ground sucked bad and impossible to line it up using two floor jacks by yourself. I ended up just stacking scrap wood and tires under it. I am really worried about all the...

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    While I was in there, the rear bumper and tow hitch area was kind of crusty. I look the cover off, pressure washed, wire wheeled, painted and fluid filmed. Used 3 quarts of FF just behind the rear wheels.

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    Most of the rear brakes went great... I picked out the 2 best rotors out of the 4 I have, cleaned them up and checked the runout. Funny little tidbit, in maryland when a rotor rusts to the hub it is usually a really horrible job that destroys the rotor. One of the junk yard rotors fell right...

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    Weather didnt look great the rest of the week so I took off last Tuesday and kocked out most of the rest of the work. The control arms came fully assembled from the junk yard and I really didnt fell like messing with taking it all apart. I took the upper arms off both sides and mounted that...

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    I was looking over the old subframe and found some more weak spots. Drivers side lower control arm mount was barely holding on. I am very happy that I made the call to do this project.

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    Installing the subframe went great using my custom wooden transmission jack. The 4 nuts on top did not want to spin when torquing from the bolt heads on the bottom so that made things a lot easier. 239ft lbs is quite a bit and I could not get my trusty CDI wrench to click. For fathers day with...

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    Pressure washed the rear diff, then went over it with some amazon knock off rotoloc sanding discs. Then painted it with the finest rust primer and semi gloss spray paint walmart has to offer. I installed new seals and new breather. I was able to use my custom 3d printed seal press that I am...

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    Spending so much time under the car I realized that the boxed frame had a lot of junk for it. Saturday was all ready a damp day so I decided to try washing it out. WOW, I am no longer a toyota box frame elitist. I dont have any pictures from my first pass but I got about 2 quarts of rocks and...

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    While everything was off I decided to replace the brake lines with OEM for around $100. All the clips along with frame rail were brittle and I snapped a few of them before I resorted to just cutting the old line and sliding it out. Routing the driver side line to the junction under the pass side...

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    Subscribed to TIS last night. Nothing in the FSM about the torque for the "rear suspension member" as they call it. The older bolts are 18mm with two notches which decodes to m18 class 5t and the new bolts have one notch which are m20 class 6t. Max design torque for these should be around...

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    "Gen2 Sequoia Solid Axle Swap" was the first search I did when starting this project :). And after this project I dont think I will ever willingly own another IRS AWD. With the subframe removed there is a ton of space under there to fit a tundra axle. I think the issue is going to be that the...

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    Mystery solved, there was a revision to the subframe bolts. Went over all the parts and only needed to get a few things. Local dealer was friendly and should have the parts I need this week. I have not broken open the brake system yet and I was on the fence about doing the hard lines. I...

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    Success was short lived however. There is a difference between the junkyard subframe and my rusty one. Mine has 4 16mm bolts holding it on and the junkyard one had 4 18mm bolts holding it on. The mounting holes in the subframes are also 16mm and 18mm respectively., Apparently toyota rev'ed this...

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    The 4 bolts holding on the subframe... WOW. It is almost as if toyota did not design this to be taken off with the body still on the frame. On the drivers side you have very little clearance and the nut flanked by the fuel filler neck and vent. Same deal on the pass side except there is an...

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    First thing yesterday I set out to remove the diff and it came out without any fuss. I dont have a tranny jack so I made a custom one! The diff was missing one of the front 4 mounting bolts which has me a little concerned that someone has been in here before. I just happen to have an extra...

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    I forgot to buy one of the nice spring compressors before this project and I saw your post on using the rental spring compressor from autozone. After a accident using a floor jack as a compressor on my first car as a teenager am terrified of springs. I was able to get one side off using the...

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    Wow this job sucks. As a bad omen all except one of the 10/12 mm bolts holding the ABS and brake lines snapped off with very little torque. Then I did not realize that every bolt holding on the control arms would be "sleeved and seized" just like the cam bolts normaly do. So every bolt was...

    Gen2 Sequoia Subframe Rust and Replacement

    A few weeks later I have a southern junkyard subframe and was able get a decent package deal on the control arms (and all the $$$ cam bolts). New parts will be getting a wash and fresh paint before starting the project. The main issue that I am hitting now is the lack of info on the rear...
