There is no hiding my constant changing and evolution of vehicles...From a 07 FJC, 04 Tundra, 07 Tundra + 4wc, 2000 100 series with over 400k and still going to a mud member. To my now sequoia. After a mix of everything, I think I finally have the idea in my head of what will HOPEFULLY be exactly the mix I want.
Bought the truck stock after buying one before it, with 96k on it. ALMOST mint with one rust spot, like this one. Had some title issues because I guess wholesalers jumped the title? Idk. I was able to get my money back since the guy on craigslist was actually a decent human. Fast forward a couple weeks and I picked this one up. 170k on it. I dont ever mind mileage on a 2uz now, you can just feel if these motors have been taken care of once you drive them and walk around. Maybe it is just me?
Got to reading on what I would want for this and came to the idea that the rear axle was similar to a 80, which would then make it similar to a 100? I had old 100 springs laying around for the rear. Ordered some dobinsons shocks and went with what is known as the 80 series slinky shock. Paired it with eibach 700lb springs up front to get ready for a front bumper to be added and winch as well as SPC UCA's. So far the ride is amazing and I have a set of OME springs for the rear when the rear bumper is done with the swing out....They're just to stiff atm to be in. Its funny, I actually really enjoy the stock 100 springs in the back.
Plans for the future is a sleeping platform and to get the spare out and on back. Get some sliders and skids on the bottom, then start with the smaller detailed s*** so the bulk and most important part will be done to enjoy it. Plus I still have ideas to come up with before the rest that was mentioned.
Heres the day I got it. I knew as soon as I got home, the steps were coming off. That was the start, then to enjoy it....Which lasted 3 days....
Shortly after seeing 13487362487 other sequoias that looked like mine. I got annoyed...Ordered a set of wheels and tires. I've had great customer service with the guys at Black Rhino & also shot photos that ended up with me shooting some for them.These came out this year. They're 17x8.5 -10 offset. (they wont clear the front on a 80 without a small spacer FYI). Also have really liked my coopers in the past. So I went with 285/70/17 AT3 XLT's.
It looked tough on stock ride height. Didnt rub as bad as I thought either during normal driving. I do need a BMC
Give it a couple more weeks & I just couldnt hold back. Ordered up a set of DOBINSONs all around. Eibach front springs, and reused my old 100 series rear coils with 420k on them..lol.
