You may well know this and just didn't mention it. There are a couple of plastic T connectors on the heater hoses that get brittle and break causing a loss of coolant and overheating that will stop you in your tracks. Cheap, easy fix to stop what could be a big problem. Plenty of KZfaq videos on it. Also, if the original radiator is still in there, it should be changed before a failure leads to coolant in the transmission. With that, you will have covered al of the Sequoia weak points. Proud Gen1 Tree owner and these things are beasts, but often unnoticed, as you say. They are kind of an offensive lineman in football. Big and strong but not really flashy.

I bought one because of your video. I love mine! 280,000mi and running really strong. I changed LBJ’s and timing belt in the first week of ownership to make it last even longer.

The original alternator on my '02 lasted to 310k followed closely behind by the original radiator. So be prepared for some things to start to age-out.

You can fix the storage cover in the rear by hitting it with a heat gun and putting clothespins on it as it cools which will reengage the clips to where they'll catch again

Adhesive velcro: Use the felt half of stick-on velcro strips to the black bumpers on the lower side of the hatch. This will wedge the hatch more securely against the latch. I put tiny squares of felt under the center console lid bumpers to tighten that up as well. Also I've used a velcro to secure the cover on the rear storage area because the plastic clips are old and tired. Kitchen lights: I've replaced the map/entry/dome lights with LEDs but another rear cargo light solution are under-cabinet kitchen lights. Most are rechargeable through USB, nice and bright, low profile, and can be used as an emergency work light/flashlight since most mount by velcro or magnetic plates. Trash Bag: Those loops on the side are meant for plastic grocery bags. Speaking of grocery bags, make a trash bag by looping one handle of a bag through the slide out cup holder in the dash. I've put on Amazon special headlights on my truck when I bought it and they lasted 6 years before turning yellow and hazing over. Replacing them again in a few days. I've tried TurtleWax restoration kit and it lasted for 6 months.

Nice to hear that it's going well. The Sequoia just moved to the top of the pile for my next car. Found out two weeks ago that I can't comfortably fit my 6'6" self in a 4Runner. My wife and I want 4 wheel drive capability to extend our camping adventures and there are considerations for starting a family, too. There aren't a lot choices that check the boxes we want. Prices are still a little hard for me to wrap my head around, though.

My 2005 sequoia also rattles. And I too am ocd about interior noises. I've removed some panels and added some sound deadening. But getting rid of interior noises with the panels is a difficult task. I think you would have to put something like a small weather strip along the plastic edge where it butts up against the sheet metal. The sequoia is also a vibrate'y vehicle. My theory is that the sheet metal is too thin for the size and weight of the body as it sits on rubber body mounts. And there's no body mounts under the center of the body along the sides

@davidkaminski615 Жыл бұрын

I've inquired about that on my rig and it's something to do with a change in vacuum pressure. The brake booster uses engine vacuum, and when the A/C compressor kicks on, it affects the amount of vacuum going to the booster. Don't know if it's indicative of a problem or if it's just the way it is. Mine's been doing it for a while and still stops fine.
