    It is very clear now that the rack and pinion is leaking pretty bad at the right boot. I assume this is a full replacement, or is there a way to replace that seal? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Unanswered Noisy Steering

    Hi everyone, Just yesterday my steering became suddenly very noisy and a little sluggish. Looking for some advice on how to tackle this problem. I have not investigated too much into this problem yet, but here is what I know so far. 1) The power steering fluid reservoir is full. 2) The...

    Official Roof top Tent show off

    That specific tent needs three cross bars to bear the weight. So I mounted three yakima round crossbars to the factory rack. It worked fine when I had it up there. The biggest frustration I had was opening and closing the tent everyday so we now have a small teardrop-type camper and mounted...

    Considering 35s? 34s? 33s? 32s Here's some tech info for you...

    One more question...I'm heading out west in a few weeks for hunting and I often hear guys say that they recommend 10-ply tires. Are any of you running anything above SL? I will probably put some new tires on here before heading out and was curious about the load range you all use. I was looking...

    Front bumper replacement.

    How much does the Brute Force Fab bumper weigh? I ask because I'm trying to figure out some payload issues that I discussed here: Talk me out of selling my Sequoia

    Talk me out of selling my Sequoia

    While the power and towing is certainly better in the second gen, the payload and total cargo room doesn’t change much, if at all from my research. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Talk me out of selling my Sequoia

    I see no one really wanted to answer my original question, and I understand why. But I have related issue to this, I really want to stick with my Sequoia, even though I covet the rear storage space of a Suburban, I just don't like how they drive. In fact I would definitely stick with my Sequoia...

    Considering 35s? 34s? 33s? 32s Here's some tech info for you...

    So the big question I have after seeing this is, did you go to 275-70/17 for the spare too? If you did, how does it fit in the traditional spare spot? Does it fit ok? I'd like to go to this size but I was concerned about the size of the spare.

    Rock sliders:

    Does anyone have any idea if these will fit on a Sequoia? https://www.rocky-road.com/100-series-rock-sliders.html And if so, what is the risk of using bolt on sliders? It seems like what I've read, that bold on sliders are somewhat widespread, I know that doesn't by itself make them ok, but I...

    Talk me out of selling my Sequoia

    I've had my 2004 SR5 almost two years now. I still really like it, it is reliable and comfortable to drive. Yet I am considering selling it. I need to hear some reasons why I should stick with it. Bottom line, there are six of us in the family not including the dog (the dog came after the...

    Rear Hatch Handle

    Do you have any recommendation on where to buy the cable? I have to replace my hatch handle too, so I just ordered the one recommended above, but I imagine I should replace the cable like you suggest.

    Will my '04 charge a trailer battery?

    Hi everyone, I need some help. Internet research has come up inconclusive. How do I know if my '04 Sequoia will charge the battery on my teardrop trailer? I have the seven pin connector and I'm getting ready to install electrical on my trailer, but I'm trying to figure out how to set up the...

    Official Roof top Tent show off

    I wouldn't say that it is very noticeable to normal driving around town. You can feel a little more body roll going around corners and maybe a little more drag while getting up to highway speed, but other than that, I don't even notice it. I should add that my Sequoia is 100% stock at this...

    Official Roof top Tent show off

    I just got the CVT Denali. I've only spent one night in it so far, but I foresee five people fitting tight, and four people very easily. That's not including throwing some cots down in the annex room (which I have not used yet). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
