Hey guys, been a couple of months since I switched to a Toyota Sequoia, after having a brief conversation with him I decided to make a build thread dedicated to the sequoia in this section!

This is the Sequoia as it sits today!

Dang that's a sweet vehicle on the right kidding. Welcome back. I do miss the "build thread" type threads for other vehicles I own too. Discord just ain't the same.

Anyways without getting too side tracked, this is what it looked like when I purchased it in March from Idaho Youth Ranch for $5500.

First thing I did after selling my Jeep was take the running boards off, which made a big difference already.

Next thing I did was a 40% seat delete on the middle row, for my fridge and other random accessories.

I also added that seat molle panel that I got from my sister in Christmas.

Eibach has a nice lift kit for it! I recommend looking at the stage 2 Coilovers, rear shocks, and springs.



Dobinson also has a couple of kits. I’ll recommend their IMS, although they might be too soft for a heavy rig. Eibach will better support and control the weight.



Dobinson MRR has front and rear reservoirs with low, high, and rebound adjustments.



From what’s available for the Sequoia the MRR’s will be the best.

All option are better than stock !
