REPAIR: Front Wheel Bearings DURATION: 2 hours COST: $400 SUMMARY: It all started when the Sequoia started to make a chaffing noise. As I suspected, it was the fan pulley bracket. Between traveling for work and work and prepping to hit the mountains, I was pressed for time. So in the shop...

MODIFICATION: Constant 12V Ports GOAL: Add some aesthetically pleasing, easily accessible, integrated 12V ports independent of the keyed ACC. PURPOSE: Really want to be able to charge my devices when boondocked without having to leave my key in the ACC position or have to use a battery pack...

Possible solutions I've come across are the webasto marine mufflers and dirt bike mufflers. Haven't tried them since they don't fit in my install.

Meh, I don't want to deal with people and whatever issues that comes up from a sale. You how finicky these heaters can get. Plus, I don't believe I could sell it for an amount to make it worth the effort. I am, however, toying with the idea of rebuilding the Rigid case to keep as a spare...

MODIFICATION: Diesel Heater 2.0 GOAL: Apply some lessons learned and "fix" some annoyances about heater 1.0. PURPOSE: Moving the heater to the roof really worked out nicely. However, it presented some painful and inconvenient aspects to it. So, I decided to repackage it. DURATION: 2 hours...

Thanks! She's easily recognized so, yeah, feel free. No issues as far as I can tell. Much more convenient on the roof compared to being on the ground and having to pack/unpack the heater when caramping. The controller is mounted loose for accessibility.

MODIFICATION: Heater Window Insert GOAL: Add a connection for the externally mounted diesel heater and keep the elements out. PURPOSE: I needed a way to plumb the heater into the cab. I tried different methods, but a rear hatch window insert made the most sense. This method enabled me to...

Meh, needs more descriptions. ?

That build looks super solid. ?

Lotsa good info here in this group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/668524523230008/?ref=share

Man! I want those manual hubs...but...ugh...$$$...?

You mean something that can be purchased off-the-shelf specifically for the Sequoia? I don't know of any of any drawer system like that. Nor do I know of something that could be retrofitted. All rear drawer solutions I've seen have been custom jobs.

I'd wager 18-20AWG. Having it pre-wired was a huge seller. That and it was cheap.

They are pretty bright. I don't think the cam was compensating. The true test will be when I take it out in pitch black conditions.

MODIFICATION: Rock Lights GOAL: Moar illumination. PURPOSE: Admittedly, I bought the lights on a whim after I put in my switches and electrical framework. "What do I hook up to my switches?!" After putting in my alley lights, I figured I might as well dust these off and make use of them in...

MODIFICATION: Custom Grille GOAL: Replace the old and busted with some new hotness. PURPOSE: I was tired of masking and repainting the front grille black. And the dated look. Because I like throwing the baby out with bathwater, I hacked up my front grille to update the look. DURATION: 8...

Yep. And headlamps too...when I remember to keep them charged. ?

I think I'm going to leave the alley lights alone. They were perfect when scouting locations off the beaten path at night, which was something I hadn't considered. I toyed with it while at camp and, like you said, the body got in the way and it really hadn't bought me much. That said, the...

Shoulda made the rack 2" wider per side. ?
