That vid was really something. I believe the grip theme was very well communicated. Nicely done. I have the STT Pros, as well. With the exception of icy slush, the STTs have taken everything I have thrown at it so far with not a mark to show for it. Quiet for a DD and wearing out very...

Pretty much where I'm at. Taking measurements and testing to see if I can find an off-the-shelf solution or go custom. Thanks! The Sequoia has been solid. When I was looking, T4Rs were too small and LCs were underpowered and/or expensive for what they were, IMO. It has gotten my family...

Take care of the car and it will take care of you. ?

Thank you for the kind words. His SAS has got my brain spun up, but I'm not there yet...? She's definitely built to take me and my family places. She's no crawler, but I'll do what I can to make sure can crawl over rocks and back when needed.

I know! I've followed both of you guys on T4R for years. Dirtco was the one that actually inspired me to cut into the Sequoia to make it what it is today. The window coverings look...familiar, don't they? ? So, I was pleasantly surprised when you picked up Scotty's Sequoia and see what...

No problemo and thank you for the kind words. Glad that worked out easy. It's been a real chore on the Sequoia since no one offers a specific application. We, as a community, have had to borrow parts or just flat out make our own. Once I've verified my findings, this should make it easy for...

I know this! ? I saw on Dirtco's adventure thread that you were able to keep up on that back country trip. I've only been desert road expo trips living in SoCal, so seeing that makes me confident I'll be alright for my trip up there in August.

I ordered some lightly valved 5125s, which are universal application 5100s, and hope it arrives by the end of the week. The waiting is making me anxious...

You'll get no argument from me, bro. ✌

TL;DR LC100 rear shocks are also short for use on the Sequoia. So I've addressed the FJ Cruiser 5100s are not a good shock for Sequoia. What about Land Cruiser 100-series shocks? Well... Dobinson coil length: 16.7" Dobinson installed coil length: 11" Bilstein 5100 extended 23.5"...

TL;DR 5100 rear shocks, or any FJ Cruiser shock, are not at all "good" for the Sequoia. And shame on you if you still recommend them after seeing this post. So, just HOW BAD are FJ 5100 shocks (33-187174) on Sequoias? I'm glad you asked because here's some tech for you. Dobinson coil length...

There is a mod available to add a switch to lock the center diff even in 4HI on 01-02s that duplicates the function enabled for later models. FYI

Thanks for the compliment!

(y) I suggest holding off on shocks for now. Going to test some shocks and will be reporting back what I find.

There's always this place. (y)

Here's you're fix, then, lol. Don't be a stranger.

thanks guys!

TECH: Dial in the Rear Suspension GOAL: Check clearances for stuffing 34s in the rear, size the bumpstops, and take measurements for spring/shock applications. PURPOSE: I have had the Bilstein 5100s, PN: 33-187174, for a few years now. Considering they were for lifted FJ Cruisers, I've often...

MODIFICATION: Califab Rear Upper and Lower Control Arms GOAL: Reinforce the rear control arms and improve articulation. PURPOSE: I've been lucky that I haven't bent my lower arms yet over rocks I could not bypass. So when I saw these arms become available for the Sequoia, I jumped at the...

MODIFICATION: Dobinson Rear Coil Springs GOAL: Upgrade to a better spring that can handle the added load, but minimize rear lift. PURPOSE: My build is all about being low slung and minimizing lift. Up until recently, there were no Sequoia-specific springs. Had to "borrow" from the Land Cruiser...
