I bought a new 2003 Sequoia with a factory flooded cell battery, #27 if I remember correctly. Almost immediately it started growing "corrosion fur" around the posts, and under the hood sheetmetal. Frequent baking soda was used until I put in an Odyssey PC1700 in late 2004. Everything went well until I replaced it in 2011 with another PC1750,
A few weeks ago I got the idea to replace the 1750 with a Sears 31M (another Odyssey product) to assist with my ARB fridge. I have a "dual" battery set up when I pull my cargo conversion adventure trailer. It has a PC2250 in it connected to the tow vehicle by an Anderson SB350 and #1/0 cables via a smart relay (just plug and go). The ARB can go in the Sequoia or the trailer via new style ARB sockets in each.
The factory Sequoia battery hold down would not work, but some i'net surfing yielded a photo of a 2002 Tindra with a different bracket. The Tundra bracket (74404-0C010) is essentially flat compared to the Sequoia. All is well, Close enough for a short trip. By the way, the plywood spacer is exterior that was Utilized in the 2004 change.
