? They really have a great eye for custom work. Love the way yours came out. Thanks for posting up the MC upgrades. Looking into improving my braking response, as well, and deleting ABS since it's disabled.

Nice build. I've seen your rig parked at the shop. They built my front and rear bumpers for me too.

After about 100 miles of shaking down the new front suspension on-road, I have to say, it does take a little getting used to. It basically steers like a race car, but rolls like a pig. I used to be able to get away with not having swaybars, even on-road with the OEM hardware, but that's a bad...

Fancy.

Just like legos...except you build every brick yourself. Nice job.

Pulled the SPC cams. They were the culprit for the steering, tracking, and stability, issues that have been plaguing my Sequoia since the initial installation. See original post for updated details.

I'm currently in the process of troubleshooting some steering and stability issues. I changed so much all at once, I have had to use the process of elimination to track it down. As a result, she's down for the moment, so I can't really comment on road handling yet. It is my hope that once I...

I saw on a recent thread on a Tundra facebook group that it was still on the plate to be developed. And thanks!

This past winter, I disco'd while it was snowing/raining and forgot to pack up one side of front/rear links. It didn't change my ride characteristics much so I took it all out rather than replace the lost components. With the added unsprung mass of the Solo kit, the front doesn't seem to...

Awesome deal. Glad to see I'm not the only one with the kit. Solo has been awesome to deal with and have been very supportive when I had questions. Did you still have your swaybars installed?

Yep. It'll be nice to feel less anxious when on the road or on the trail, for sure.

Great read, as usual.

No doubt about it. This kit addresses all the things that makes me nervous about being on the road. I hear ya. This was a pricey upgrade, for sure. They're the only game in town for lower uniballs. The CVs have the clearance, though the angles are extreme. If it wasn't for the 7.5" diff...

MODIFICATION: Solo Motorsports Mid-Travel Kit, SPC Cams, Icon ET Coilovers, Limit Straps GOAL: Improve the IFS system and make it more resistant to key suspension and steering failure. PURPOSE: If you hang around the various first gen Sequoia/Tundra/Tacoma and 3rd gen 4Runner forums long...

Thanks!

Thanks! Appreciate the read through.

REPAIR: Remove and Replace Steering Rack TROUBLESHOOTING: Other than a leaking guide bushing, the rack was, otherwise, functional. The rack has been leaking for years and it was a super duper slow leak. Having refreshed the diffs, the rear, and the transmission, it got on my nerves (finally)...

There's an organized group buy on the Sequoia off-road Facebook group going on at that moment. A few people have participated already. https://m.facebook.com/groups/1517237998306158?view=permalink&id=2092790390750913 They can also be purchased on Amazon, but they're currently unavailable, for...

MODIFICATION: Dobinson Rear Shocks GOAL: Get the ride under control. PURPOSE: Having verified the the shock dims and a better feel for the valving requirements, it was time for the real deal. Considering my rig's carry weight, I opted to go with the LC80 shock. Seemed like a good idea and...
