    New shocks are in, but it's still not great handling

    Yeah, the 80 is pretty much stock so that could be part of it. I bet it'd feel a lot more loose with a 6" lift. It can be pretty jarring on washboard, but it has a really nice and planted feel on the highway.

    New shocks are in, but it's still not great handling

    Hi everyone, We ended up selling the Sequoia, but just got new Bilsteins put in just before the sale. Stock height on 265/70R17s. 2007. The original shocks were blown out, or at least one was. So very bouncy ride over bumps. I was hearing a lot of people say that with the Bilsteins, the ride...

    I’ve searched but can’t find

    Unfortunately, I've heard that uniball is great for racing, but is a ton more maintenance for a daily driver. I don't have any first hand experience with it, though.

    First gen Sequoia value

    I appreciate your replies! Thank you. It's just been sitting a while and am wanting to move on another 80 series. Decided to drop it to $5,900, matching the other prices we saw. I figure the condition is not as good as some of them, but the newer vehicles do have some desirable features. I...

    First gen Sequoia value

    Hi everyone, I've had very little interest in my Sequoia. I think I bought it at the peak of the market prices, and in a rush. As it stands it's listed for less than what I've paid, especially after money I've put into it (not a ton, but a few hundred easily). I have it listed in the...

    I’ve searched but can’t find

    Is there actually a way to do this? I've never heard of any reasonable way to flip the joints around. If it's doable on the first gen Tacomas / 3rd gen 4Runners / 1st gen Tundras/Sequoias, would really add a lot more value to the platform.

    Solved: 2007 Sequoia, front wheel is stuck to the hub

    That's funny that yours were seized on as well. I wonder if it's something that this wheel material is more prone to. My tire codes said 2019, so it hasn't been *that* long that they've been on there. My tie rod ends looked... okay, I guess. I didn't feel them very well but the alignment...

    Solved: 2007 Sequoia, front wheel is stuck to the hub

    Driving with the lug nuts loose did the trick! I did it to all of them at once, assuming they may all be some degree of stuck. I thought I felt/heard it give way in the first few feet, but I drove a but further just to be sure I'd have a good chance. Thanks for the help!

    Solved: 2007 Sequoia, front wheel is stuck to the hub

    Thanks for your reply! Yeah, they're aluminium. I wonder if steel is less likely to stick like this. I don't feel great wacking it on the aluminium wheel, but I'm hoping it'll break off before something breaks. I'm just thinking that all of these may be stuck, so a drive could be the fastest...

    New Owner for 2001 & 2003 Sequoia--His and Hers

    I'm sure there are some counterfits on Ebay, although I've had a very good experience with Ebay and sellers on there in general. If you go to different dealerships, you'll see a huge range in prices. I think the dealer markup is substantial, so it could be that, or maybe it's a knockoff.

    New Owner for 2001 & 2003 Sequoia--His and Hers

    Here's an option for the rear hatch: Aireddown Adventures - https://aireddownadventures.com/ Haven't tried it yet, but seems promising. As far as doing the front shocks without a whole strut assembly or spring compressor, this may be a good option: Aisin's timing belt is probably pretty...

    Solved: 2007 Sequoia, front wheel is stuck to the hub

    I can't get the wheel off to do the lower balljoint. I've tried hammerining at the wheel, prying, PB Blaster, and letting off the jack to put pressure on it. Should I just go for a drive? I'm worried other wheels may be stuck. Haven't had this happen before, but it's the first time removing the...

    Yet another lower balljoint thread

    I don't think the issue with the LBJ, or likely other ball joints on the Sequoia is a quality one. The LBJ fails catastrophically by design (maybe not intent) and possibly wears faster because it's always under tension instead of compression. While I would encourage OEM ball joints all around...

    Yet another lower balljoint thread

    Might 4Runner LBJs fit? Part number 43340-39465 is one of them. It says online that they do not. The boot around the balljoint is definitely different. Not sure if it's close enough, or no way.

    He's awesome! Thank you so much. Ordered a set from him. Great price.

    I'm not on Facebook, unfortunately otherwise I'd definitely contact him.

    Yet another lower balljoint thread

    I appreciate that! I'm not. I'm in North Idaho. I called around at local dealerships and all are charging the full MSRP on parts. I'll probably do toyotapartsdeal.com, which is in California so should be faster shipping. Slightly more money than McGeorge, but lower shipping price.

    1st gen Sequoia rear disc parking brake

    I got them off... The bolt moved it slower than I thought, but it worked. The other side had two good threads, so much easier. I've figured out what's wrong. No brake shoes!! Why?? I guess this clears things up. Will have to look into what parts I need. Also, never seen this kind of rust...

    1st gen Sequoia rear disc parking brake

    Just got it on stands and got a wheel off. I thought there was a gear to adjust through one of the two holes passing through the rotor, into the drum area? I'll have to pull the caliper and the rotor to see what's going on. Edit: Getting the caliper off was easy. The rotor is very, very...

    1st gen Sequoia rear disc parking brake

    Hi all, My first generation Sequoia has rear disc brakes and a useless parking brake. I feel nervous doing more work to it without fixing the parking brake. From what I understand, the parking brake is some kind of nested drum? There was very little tension. I adjusted and ended up maxed out...
