I'm a father of 3 and wanted to get a rig and turn it into something I can take them camping and on trails in the mountain around where I live. I have loved the 1st gen sequoia. Found this one in the jade mica and jumped on it. The kids named it Henry and it fits.
Since I bought the rig
Interior
- switched all power ports to USB quick chargers
- center diff mod
- kill switch(last few month neighborhood has been active at night)
- interior lights swapped for led
- scosche magnetic mount quick charger hard wired in
- red ambient light
Exterior
- Painted the grill and added trd colors badge
- plasti dipped emblems
- rain guards
- tinted the fog lights yellow
- headlights, fogs, and turn signals switched to led
-1 1/4 wheel spacers
- cut the resonator out to get slight growl(not much)
- removed the running boards
Mechanical
- poly steering rack bushings
- F/R poly sway bar bushings
- valve cover gaskets
- fuel filter
- F/R diff fluid change(synthetic)
- transfer case fluid(synthetic)
Right now I'm working 6 days a week and the one day I'm off is for family. Fortunately I have another vehicle to drive so "Henry " hangs out in the drive way. I did order a 3mm red led light to put into the overhead console for ambient light at night(idea from Sal R. and his 02 limited build) but I can't decide to run it always on with the dash lights or on its own switch. Then in the next month or 2 im going to be doing timing belt, serpentine belt and pulleys, and transmission fluid with synthetic. Then I have to do the 100k service on my wife's 16 sequoia. Busy but I love working on them and teach the kids a thing or 2. Oh and also now my wife want her car "Fiona"(kids lol) to be overland...ish so I have 2 builds to do
