05 sequoia limited aka “turd crappley”

[Smileyshaun]

First off if you get the name reference from my favorite tv show without looking it up your awesome !!

This will be my second sequoia I’ve owned , loved the first one and regretted selling it so I got another after bouncing around so many vehicles that just didn’t have the right fit and feel for me . I say it every time I get a new rig but not a lot lined up for a “build” just going to Concentrate on creature comfort’s and storage for now and just getting out and driving it and exploring .

it’s a 05 limited with rear air suspension , leather , non working dvd player and blown jbl speakers .

I loved everything about it except for the amount of debt and limited carrying capacity. Thankfully I got out of it without loosing money .

And yes my friends and family already have bets going on how long I will keep this .

Had to make a run up to the Seattle area to pickup some boxes for work and head straight back , 320 mile round trip had the cruise set to 72 most the way . Not bad , I’m sure I’ll destroy those numbers soon with new tires lol.

Well as my mind does it’s normal thing I wonder crazy stuff like … what would it take to squeeze a 37 on it . Hmmm little trim here , tub a firewall there , little body lift , small suspension lift ….. hmmm . I mean technically were only speak in 2 1/2 inches more tire to fit in .

Went out for a little evening drive with my little one to let her drive a little and try out the sequoia on some gravel roads . Rides rather well over bumps I’m sure size and weight helps but ran into a small issue while crawling over a rock , it bumpers and rocked and somehow the airbag fell out . Luckily I was able to deflate it and continue on our way but it did cut the abs line in the process.

Oh man I’m behind
Took a weekend trip with some buddies up and around mount Jefferson in Oregon , popped out the airbag again ripping the hose and burning up the pump , scratched the hell out of it . Great trip with a real simple sleeping setup .

Fixed the suspension with some OME rear springs and a set of front spacers next up eventually is coilovers and some new rear shocks . Sits much better now

Made a simple platform to take the little lady camping for the weekend to see some fall colors and happen to run into a dusting of snow .

As my mind often wonders I wanted 35s with minimal lift . Ordered up a kenda klever 35x10.50r17 and tossed it on a spare rim . In the rear it would fit no problem but the front will require a spacer to clear the upper control arm and that will lead to a lot more trimming than I want to do right now ……..
so my thought went to a 255/80r17 shopping around found a great deal at 205 a pop for some wild peaks , if I end up thinking it’s not enough tire these will go on the little ladies GX eventually I I seriously think I will step up to a 37 . The sequoia is so big 35s almost don’t look like enough tire .

Looks like you are in the same neck of the woods as me. Following both for the rig and the adventures.
