Sequoia lifted w/tires and wheels!

[stom]

So it's not necessarily a LC but close and just thought I would share.

So after long deliberations about everything under the sun, I finally decided on my tire/wheel combo along with a my lift. I ended up going with Toyo MT's 275/70/18 (33.6") and the KMC Monster 18x9 with the 35mm offset. I got the 35mm because I didn't want the tires to stick out beyond the fender wells. They happen to line up perfectly! I also was able to have the spare fit which was an important requirement for me because I didn't want to huck that huge thing on the roof!
For the suspension, I got Icon C/O's up front along with the TC UCA. For the rear, I got custom springs made 2" of lift.
Overall I'm pretty happy with the setup. The front is a little on the high side and I need to lower it about 3/4" to make it flat to the rear. The ride is surprisingly good. The Toyo's hum a little bit but that was expected. I'll let things settle and reset the suspension. Also I have zero rubbing issues.
I'll be heading to Mammoth next weekend to try things out on some trails.
Here's the finished product;

Looks great! Always wondered what one of those would look like lifted.

How much did you pay for the total chaos uppers and how long did it take to install them? Looks great!

Thanks. I've seen them range from $630-755. I ended up paying $680 plus 1 hour of labor.

I love the Icons and the Toyos -- excellent quality and great-looking too!

So is the front suspension on sequoias identical to tundras?

This sequoia looks real cool by the way!

Yes, the Sequoia front end is the same.

Back from Mammoth. The Sequoia did great! No problems. Granted we went over some fairly mild stuff. Here are some pics from the adventure;

I have to agree Sorry Stom,
I always thought the Sequoia looked like a MORBIDLY OBESE 100 Series.. :whoops:
But Other than that, You got the coolest Morbidly Obese 100 Series on the eplanet!

Looks good......perfect setup for those trails. I'm assuming the rear shocks are stock?

How soon till you add an ARB
