Front suspension geometry questions in regards to a SAS.

Wouldn't you be better off in the Hardcore section? I want to follow this as well.

He is correct guys that build and fabricate are on that section that may have already done this or at least thought of doing this. I will also recommend starting a build thread there and bounce ideas off those guys not everyone on the 80 section can fabricate or know anything your wanting to do or know .

Post # 3 I suggested he head over to the hard core corner and spend some time
I have a 06 tundra but it's staying stock 80s are already to big for the trail IMO.

s*** dude, you got me. Total trolling all the way, up to and including bringing the axles home for this picture. I’m really going to do an IRS swap.

Btw- build thread’s over in the Sequoia/Tundra forum. Don’t get butt hurt if I’ve changed course a bit from what’s been discussed here. I’m not an askhole, I swear.

Sweet, I'll follow along. I'm curious to see what you come up with.

We wanted to love our first gen Sequoia, but the vehicle just sucked by Toyota standards. We thought an 80 series would be too impractical, but the difference between them is night and day.

I'm very familiar with the IFS woes of the Sequoia. A terrible design choice, indeed.

You can certainly go down this road swapping a solid axle, but I would highly advise getting a 80 or 100 series instead.

The Sequoia handles terribly, even in stock form. The hatches fail. The engine and transmission are great, of course. But the 80 has enough power in stock form. You can upgrade an 80 and it's well within its abilities. Upgrading a Sequoia is asking for trouble.

Maybe a 2nd gen Sequoia would be better for you? I don't know how they compare. After having many Toyotas, the Sequoia was by far the lowest quality rig we've had. It'd be good for in town use and light trails, but not any kind of regular abuse. And even in town, the handling is terrible!

If you need something just as big and better built, I'd see if there's better domestic options. Or maybe you'd like a 4th gen 4Runner with a V8?

I’ve had the Sequoia for seven years and my opinion of it is the exact opposite of yours. Had a 80 before that and it no longer met my needs where the tree does. I wasn’t asking what truck you want me to drive, but thanks for the unsolicited opinion/lecture. You do you, and I’ll do me.
