I bought an 06 tundra crew cab a month ago. Just been doing some maintenance on it and driving it. So far I have replaced the timing belt and water pump. Replaced the valve cover gaskets, replaced spark plugs, brakes all the way around, carrier bearing. New sterio and jbl speakers. Truck drives great. I have an Intermittent vibration in the front end, I can't pin point yet. Possibly wheel bearing. Got a lift kit on order. Love the truck. Enjoying wrenching on it. I'll get some pics up.

You might as well get it over with and start up a thread on it!
Changed oil on my 2012 Sequoia 5.7 at 109K. Yawn, these trucks are so reliable, they are boring.
I will take that kind of boring.
Agreed. After many years of German car ownership, there's a certain level of excitement in knowing that I can just get in the Sequoia and drive without drama.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I also needed to replace my front blower motor this winter when it was -15F at 107K. HVAC filer was clean. It had a bad bearing and was screeching / vibrating. Very easy to replace under the passenger side dash, like a GM.
Drove to New Jersey and back because I hate money.
Whole lotta this…
What does that go to?
The 4-Hi/Lo Actuators that are a common failure point for these rigs - and according to my research, Landcruisers and 4-Runners suffer as well.
I tried finding relevant information months ago and never found it. I documented my struggles and troubleshooting to help anyone else and uploaded to YouTube:
Replaced front wheel bearings due to front end vibrations. Did the old " while I am in there lift kit". Went cheap with this lift since this will be my son's to and from school truck in a few months. Vibration is much improved. Rides much better. Still need to replace rotors, drums pads etc... and possibly have a caliper sticking. Paid toyota for a brake job a few months ago because I was crunched for time. Should have done it myself. Replaced the valve cover gaskets and spark plugs too. Also replaced the steering rack bushings and sway bar links. I suck at taking pictures while I work.
^good looking truck!
Major PITA. Been there done that. Took it apart 5 times and finally got it clocked right … and voila! Good luck friend.
Did you take it to a shop to press out/in or do you have a good way of doing that at home
Took the knuckles to the local toyota dealer. They tried ripping me off multiple times. Buy your own parts and take the knuckles to a drive train shop.
First oil change at 5,590 miles. Didn't take pics but first work I've done to the "Bus" as I call her
Finished installing the new Solo Motorsports LCAs. They’re pushed forward 1” for better firewall clearance and added caster. While I was there decided to finish cleaning up the firewall and modify it a tad more, fixed the position on my fox remote reservoirs and replacing both tie rod boots (since I found both torn). Also decided to get some travel measurements with everything back together. Hard to get exact number since I maxed my Jack out on upward travel but we’re easily looking at 9-10” of travel with a good UCA and extended strut assembly.
This thing is always bringing me to spectacular places.
