A comparison demostrating how much front end flex the Sequoia gained. Only difference between now and then is removing the sway bars, makes the vehicle handle way better on trails without sacrificing too much highway performance. Highly recommended mod.

Nice job. I have to say, I like the original wheels the best. The Duplicolor wheel paint is awesome and they have a bronze color which looks deadly with a lot of colors. Your tartan door panels kind of make me laugh. Install looks great though. My family’s tartan is blue and green, and my Sequoia is gray,so doors are staying stock gray in mine.

Cool interior fabrics are a must for me lol. Switched the tartan out for the Porsche houndstooth design recently, still gotta take some pictures of them. I like the classic look of the 8 holes wheels. Fits the paint scheme.

Also installed a pair of Hella 500s on the front to help with additional lighting.

Solid! What bracket are the Hellas mounted to?

I made a custom bracket out of aluminum that bolts up to the radiator support. Definitely not the best way to do it but I've had to mounted that way for 10k miles now and it's hasn't fallen off. Lol.

Haven't done much to the Sequoia recently, but I did replace the old leaky radiator with a Koyorad unit. I would upgrade to aluminum in the future, just a little low on budget right now. And don't worry I cleaned the parking lot after.

Sweet. Are the lights shaky on and off road at all? Got any pics of the brackets?

You can see it in the picture of the radiator replacement. It is a little shaky off road, but I plan on getting a steel bumper sometime soon and mounting the lights on the bumper.
