    here for product design research; what are the typical lift heights for the first gen Sequoias?

    Hi, 2-3 inches is the typical lift range. 3-4 years ago people pieced together components to create the lifts. Josh at 1stgenoffroad.com has put together a great business serving the Toyota crowd. If you check out his website you’ll see the packages he offers. On my 2004 Sequoia I have OME 2885...

    Tire, Wheel & Suspension Setup Rubbing Question...

    This was noted in one of Sal's threads, but over on expedition portal there are pics of modifications to clear larger tires. It's worth registering to see the info from Jose Wong and Sal. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/2004-tundra-adventure-cab-build-adventure-thread.127989/page-50...

    Gas gauge and paint matching

    The fuel gauge in my 04 does not read accurately. It will rise and fall without reason. I picked up parts to replace the fuel pump, filter, and sending unit. I'm at 170,000 miles.

    Replace coolant line tee connectors on engine near firewall

    I replaced the plastic tees and hoses on the 04 Sequoia tonight. There are other write-ups out there so I'll just share the tips that helped me. Prior to starting I drained half a gallon of coolant from the radiator. I'm not sure it was helpful since I still had coolant come out when I removed...

    help with cv axle removal

    Use a big prybar to pop it out past the clip. Or use a big punch and a hammer to drive it out.

    Speaker Wire Colors? Gen1

    I know this may be a little late, but if you use a volt meter set to DC. Attach the leads to each wire. When the red lead from the meter is on the positive wire you'll have a positive reading on the meter. When the red lead is on the negative wire then the reading will be negative on the meter...

    Pull during braking after lift.

    I wound up installing the Crown Performance brake lines up front with new calipers, pads, and rotors. Pull persisted. Replaced rear brake calipers, pads, and rotors. Will install Crown Performance lines when I have more time. Problem persisted. Installed SPC front upper control arms. Got it...

    Brake upgrade to 2007 4runner sport calipers and rotors

    Putting this modification on hold. I ground the caliper tabs down to about 15mm thickness and the caliper is offset on the rotor by a decent amount. I'm putting 13WL Sequoia calipers, OEM pads, and OEM rotors on for now.

    Brake upgrade to 2007 4runner sport calipers and rotors

    I'm going to pick up another set of calipers from O'Riellys and see if they are different from the Autozone 13WH calipers.

    Brake upgrade to 2007 4runner sport calipers and rotors

    I confirmed that it is the front brake rotor for an 07 4runner sport with 17" wheels. The sport model is 2WD, correct? I don't see a listing for a 4WD 17" rotor. https://parts.olathetoyota.com/auto-parts/2007/toyota/4runner/sport-trim/4-0l-v6-gas-engine/brakes-cat/front-brakes-scat

    Brake upgrade to 2007 4runner sport calipers and rotors

    I read all the descriptions on sequoia-forums and the expedition site before buying any parts and did not see anyone describe the issue I came across. That's why I asked about how much material was removed from the caliper housing where it sits on the edge of the rotor, not the tabs or the...

    Rear hatch strut upgrade?

    Brake upgrade to 2007 4runner sport calipers and rotors

    Hi, I need new front calipers and found info in Sal's build thread about upgrading to bigger calipers and rotors. Seemed like a great mod so I bought some parts. Front reman brake calipers from Autozone 2766 and 2767. Both calipers are stamped 13WH. I ground down the mounting tabs flush with the...

    2002 Limited 4WD

    Thanks, I'll have to clearance it a little. I saw in your pics about grinding down the tabs, but I missed the part where you took 1/8" out of the caliper housing. Thanks

    2002 Limited 4WD

    I started test fitting the 13WH calipers today to my 04 Sequoia limited. I'm getting slight contact between the outer edge of the rotor and the caliper. How much clearance do you have between the top of the rotor and the caliper housing? Thanks

    Front Dome Light Mod

    Good advice in this mod. I replaced two bulbs behind the homelink buttons today and thought I'd save the next person some time finding the correct bulb. OEM part number 90011-11038 I opened the sunglass holder, removed two screws, and gently pulled the assembly down. There are two arrowhead...

    Upper Control Arm Suggestions

    I read as much as I could find and then went with the SPC upper control arms. Sealed ball joints. I have 5100s in front and back, OME 2885 in front and OME 2862 in the back. 1stgenoffroad.com is another site and recently had a group buy on the SPC control arms.
