Builds 2011 Sequoia Overland Build

[TREEHAUS]

Come up 12k on there, got the midland coms hooked up as well. Went with LFD crossbars for the OE roof rack - heavy and recommended. Replaced three out of four wheel bearings, fourth one was not boxed right.

Other big change is the front and rear e lockers and 5.29s are in and broken in. She loves to pull in 4th gear, I have a feeling that this thing will end up being a tow rig for me moving forward. Some pictures of what’s been going on this summer.

37x12.5x17 Baja Mt’s on some machined Nomads. Had to do some more extreme body mount clearancing but got it done with no rubs. Alignment up next to try to grab some caster out of it so I can put my front mud flaps back on. Had the dobs IMS adjusted to the max height to get things sitting a little more level after the winch. Probably going to do some airbags in the rear. Also have front and rear TRD sway bars staged to go back on. The extra inch of travel isn’t worth the wallowing back and forth when bumping down the trail.

With the 37’s and 5.29s I am at 2050 rpm at 70

What offset did you go with? I have a set of 17" Nomads and if I can, I will move them to my Sequoia once I need tires. Your Tree looks great!

They are the 0 offset ones - thanks!

Pretty solid summer season up here in the state doing woods stuff. Big bodied did everything I threw at it and hung in with the smaller rigs. Plenty of trail stripes for proof.

Battling a squeak in the rear coils, thinking I have it down to the upper coil spring isolators in the back. Two new OEM ones to go in, along with some rear airbags to help this thing carry its 7800 pound self around a little better. I also got tired of it wallowing around on the trails without the sway bars, so got on eBay and got a front and rear TRD bar sent up with some new OEM links to do this fall as well.

I’m not super happy with the offset of the nomads so tentatively planning on getting into some Icon rims this winter to tuck it up a bit more - I figured I was at +28 with the spacers and 35s, so +25 that icon otters should be pretty perfect.

Stuff on the futures list:
- power solution and an electric fridge
- shower awning and portable shower (Joolca vs Kakadu vs -? Open to suggestions)
- Hewitt bypass/SAIS delete
- install new OE front glass (FB 200 bucks in the wrap)
- some spotties and ditch lights
