That sure looks like a Wonderful "Bolt On Accessory" from our view! Lots more fun than some 'blow up kayak' Any Day! She really messed up, because You don't have to 'touch' to BUY!

I-20 and 285 make me miss Detroit's bomb craters on I-75. I recall driving my brother's brand new 4k mile X5M into one of those in Grosspointe. The insurance company didn't even blink when they wrote it off. He was a little sassy but he's always ornery.Maybe check for some backside/offset spacers? Seems like 1/4-1/2" would be all You'd need? Let's face it, whether fender walls, tire sidewalls or Monkeypox...rubbing 'together' is not a good long term thing? Man I agree, the last time on I285 was in August Bringing our FJ100 Back from 'up North' after purchase...the truck did fine, but everybody else was getting bounced all over the place. Hit a couple pot holes that I swear were bigger than the factory '16's w/also 265/70's! If I hadn't been buckled in, I'd have gotten a CONCUSSION off the roof! Even belted my hat got squashed on the noggen tighter! I said out loud (driving alone) "Holy Sh*T! Now THAT was a HOLE!" It's pretty sad when ATL's Roads make PA's Seem Great?!!
Every morning a tractor and trailer gets swallowed up by six flags (I-20/285) and it shuts down the entire highway until lunch. I'm just impressed that Sequoia survived them. I thought about the spacers but I just do the lazy thing and avoid full lock except in a confined space like a parking deck. The noise scares everyone around me and they stay away from my girl. It makes the sweet little KO2-shaped dust clearing on my outer frame worth it.
I’m so curious about this epoxy trick - and the set up you have. I’d love to see a pic of your set up.
Sorry, that work truck is 25 mi. away in my workshop. Will try to get some pics made for You, next job I have to go do; Here's some pics of both sides of a basic Marine Battery Switch & Isolator. The epoxy gurus, created a taped 'dam' around where the wires exit the back & Did an 'epoxy pour, level/flush to the back of the the switch unit w/all wires connected. Excellent "insulator" to prevent any chance of arcing/grounding on frame/firewall/wheel well (where mine's mounted). I have cables that run to a tool box in the bed where deep cycle batteries are connected to a 3kw 12v Inverter from Xantrex (did the same setup on our sailboat w/another 2, absolutely Stole 3 of these at a lcl pawn shop, NIB, for $350. total. 2 went on our boat, 1 went in the wk truck. I have a high output (140amp) Alternator that keeps everything charged & trickle on Main/Starting battery when not driving daily. It's a pretty slick setup, we had a marine electrician set the 2 inverters in series since all banks of batteries on boat were configured & powering 24v 'everything' that wasn't 110v or 220v (Cruiseair built in A/C is the only 220 circuit in the boat), all house/land outlets(110v) are all hard wired throughout the boat direct to either the inverters, or can be switched over via secondary inverter isolator, to shore power. I didn't do all the marine wiring but learned it well enough to pretty much understand everything. We also have solar & wind generators that contribute to the battery system(s). (I 'borrowed' the pics from an ebay seller, finding pics of the BACK Side of the switches is impossible to find via normal sources?) Third Picture is what You'd be looking at typically new, west marine, boatersland, etc.

modded the stance a bit on my 2019 1794 edition with 295/75/R18 Ridge Grapplers and new Method wheels. Had a blown shock so added Toytech 3/1 lift with SPC UCAs, and dropped the running boards for AMP research swing out steps.
Got Kenda Klever A/T 2 tires installed (275/55/20 XL). (only $170 each, couldnt pass that up).
After years of resistance - started the de-chrome.
Looks Years Newer!
Installed this 3 leaf mini pack and 1" lift shackles from Alcan on my 07. It had a 1" lift block, which got removed. And sits right at 2" over where it was with the block. Now time to see how stiff this ends up being after a few miles. If it ends up being to much, I'll remove the stock overload leaf.
Moab. That is what we did.
Added a few goodies to help my day to day and for fun on the weekends:
Decked system (used from a tundra in Austin). $600
Camper shell (ranch brand, used from a tundra in Pittsburg, KS). $750
Tundra deck rail system (used from a tundra in Tulsa, OK). $65
Working on a topper rack that actually uses the length of the double cab’s bed. Most are only 5.5’, not even 6’ for a 6.5’ bed.

Keeping up with the "big brother" at Corral Hollow trail head. Rear lockers in the future a must.
Installed an OEM tailgate electric lock kit. Should be factory installed. And it really needs some decent install instructions. Took about 45 minutes, more than half of the time was trying to figure out the next step in the instruction set. I think it'd be about a 20 minute install the second time.
But it works great. And it's worth the price for me with a bed cover to keep stuff safe.
And a pic from down the street from my house on a nice day. Because it's a better post with interesting pictures.

Swapped out the gaudy and obnoxious chrome 20" wheels with fake beadlocks that the previous thought was a good idea for stock wheels from a 2016+ 200 Series and KO2s. Ahhhhhhhhhhh, much better.
I have always wanted to see the LX570 20” wheels on the sequoia.

Pulled another truck home with my truck.
Love the white letters out on the setup - nice!
