I have been lurking on the forum for a while. I haven't seen too many 2nd gen Toyota Sequoia build. But, here is mine.
I got my 2nd Gen Toyota Sequoia about a year now. The SUV is very solid, comfort, roomy & capable engine. Due to my requirement, I opt for a 8 seater SUV instead of 5 seater Toyota Tundra Crewcab. After a short research, I found a local dealer have a 2010 Toyota sequoia limited with high mileage. The car fax history was too good to let it pass, so I purchased it. The car live in New England area for the whole time and only have 1 owner. I'm the 2nd owner.
Since owning, I have started to build it for overlanding/expedition use. I have future plan to drive up to Alaska. Last year, I'm able go out for a mild expedition with the family up north to PEI, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. You can read about my Newfoundland trip on my blog.

Since Nov 2016, I have been acquiring parts for my build. My ride currently has a Front Runner Slimline II roof rack. Here is some pics.
Here is some more planning in a short future.
1. Lift/leveling the SUV using Bilstien shocks/struts with Dobinsons Coil Spring.
2. Roof Top Tent
3. Expedition trailer - I have a pop-up camper for now.
4. AT tires - BFG KO2
If interested, you may find installation write up or build on my blog.

Since owning the SUV, I have found limited aftermarket parts available for this vehicle. I see more parts available for LC200 Land Cruiser or LC125/LC150 GX 460/470. Due to limited support from aftermarket manufacturer, my build option is pretty limited. I'm hoping to see more build here.
