Good luck, please keep us posted. Are you doing the spring at home, or bringing to a shop?
Springs will be at a shop, I'm not even close to that handy lol.
Got a recommendation for tow mirrors?

I went with these (can't remember where I purchased from):
Amazon product ASIN B00AFV7DHW
These work good, Looks factory when istalled. Not very big though.
My brother had a 2008 sequoia and had the universal clamp on style mirrors that worked well too.
I had non folding & missed it, got these.
They are 90% OEM quality & not the astronomical 1200+ of the only other folding tow mirrors I have seen.

Apparently there's OEM tow mirrors (LH Assy. 879400C221 RH Assy. 879100C221), and they're pretty reasonable. $180CAD each before my discount which would be around $268USD for the pair. Thinking of going that route just for the quality and fit.

That is a good set, I need the folding feature due to tight garage space. I also like the larger size. Cant beat OEM though...might look into that. thanks!
Do you need to install buttons or something, to work the folding and whatever else on those?

My 2012 sequoia came standard with power folding mirrors, the button is right next to the power mirror adjust buttons and the LH side of the steering column. I thought they all came with this???

Don't know, I just bought my 2010, went to the mechanics to perform safety inspection (required for registration/plates), and it's been sitting there ever since waiting for me to find some springs. So it's not even here that I can check.
Which Province? Onterrible?

It's been a long time since I've checked-in or posted here - way to busy. My 2012 Sequoia is doing well, nothing major to report, just normal maintenance and care. These trucks are BORING! Read the tire update below - not good.
General Updates:
- Currently 135K miles, LOTS of camper and boat towing and mostly in-town driving.
- My AC Delco battery failed and froze last night, below 0F temps here. New battery on the way today.
- Drained and filled all driveline fluids at 132K miles with good synthetic lube.
- Coolant flush at 130K miles
- Replaced from brake pads and rotors with extreme duty parts at 125K miles. Also lubed the rear brake caliper slide pins. It is very common up in MN for these pins to corrode and lock up. The upgraded front brakes make a world of different when towing the camper.
- Engine and cabin air filters, wipers, oil changes etc done when needed, normal maintenance.
Tire Update:
- I'm still running the Kenda Klever A/T2 extra load tires in the original size.
- These tires have amazing traction on ice and snow. Zero issues with tire traction or towing performance in any conditions.
- These tires are very LOUD and have been loud since day 1 - like a mud tire.
- Tire wear is bad. Even wear, rotating every oil change. The tires ONLY HAVE 23K miles on them and will need to be replaced before summer driving. YES, I check pressure and rotate regularly. Lots of heavy camper towing, max PSI of 52 is used when towing the camper.
I would not recommend Kenda Klever A/T2 tires due to poor longevity and noise. They will only get 30K miles before needing to be replaced.
The next set of tires will be D or E rated all terrains like BFG etc...will report that when it happens.
A few pics for fun:
