Welcome and good looking Sequoia! I'm pretty sure I've seen you on the road. I commute up and down 74 from from the Monroe area to downtown CLT 5 days a week. Lifted '06 with the black TRD rims, same color as yours. I'll give a beep if I see you passing by!

@magic_bob Still wondering what setting you've got your 5100's on. I'm installing the 2885s this weekend.

Thanks! I did not swap out the UCAs. Just replaced the LBJs while I was in there and moved on. No rubbing and it aligned fine.

Who else is in the Charlotte area? I've seen a couple other modified Sequoias around town but not too many. I'm actually in the Matthews area - one of the few natives. My rig: '06 Phantom Grey Pearl Limited 4x4 -Bilstein 5100 on 4th notch w/ stock coils -OME 2862 & 60020L -BFG AT KO2...

Thanks for the info. Time to check mine out. OK sorry for the hijack! Back to the build thread!

Sal- I used to have a 3rd gen T4R as well and am familiar with the LBJ issues on those. Did all years of the 1st gen Sequoia have the same issues? I thought I'd read somewhere that the 05-07 had the issue addressed from the factory?

I don't have a solution, but I have almost the same problem. Mine doesn't jump off the track but the passenger side sits lower than the driver side. It doesn't leak and hasn't gotten stuck so I'm kind of ignoring it but its really annoying that my rear defroster lines are crooked in my rear view...

Nice looking tree! There aren't a ton of lift options which is good or bad depending on how you look at it. Take a look at some other build threads and you'll get an idea pretty quick of what the popular options are. Bilstein 5100's up front set to the amount of lift you want and then just...
