"Wheel spin followed by sudden wheel grip equals broken stuff". Couldn't agree more!!!! LOL
Thanks for the shout. Love your vids. Learn something new every time.
Yessir thanks for your contributions to the community
i saw 10.5 axle swap and clicked so fast… definitely not disappointed in this one. epic! love your build.
Right on brother thank you
Doooood. Looks great. Had no idea the Tundra axles were wider than the Sequioa rear. Seems perfect for a front long travel swap.
It works out great for a LT front, got to ditch my 2" wheel spacers. Hangs a little lower than the 8" but everything's a compromise
Hell yeah here from the t case videos love to see a new post
Right on brother thank you
I was at the mud pit with my Sequoia on Father's Day. Loved it. Saw another Sequoia with clicking diffs. He was still full sending it. Love this shit
Now that's a great Father's Day
When cutting out your lower shock extension brackets you could have laid them out with the axle end connected them used a hole saw and drilled out that radius for two at the same time. Yes, you would need the correct hole saw or get yourself a plasma cutter before a plasma table. Good job getting after it.
I hear ya, I did cut them both at the same time but yeah I need a decent plasma cutter
The amount of blood sweat and tears you have put into your sequoia is phenomenal, love the content man you inspire me to keep at it with my build
I have given this thing blood...on multiple occasions lol. Thanks man
Excellent work. Your sequoia is just getting better and better! Appreciate the mention too. Cheers!
Thanks James you got it brother
Everytime I watch your videos all I do is add to my list of mods I want done 😂
Great work as always bro
Jeez your wife must hate me, unless your not married then mod on my friend
@@treehouseoffroad lol shes blissfully unaware ;D
Your wife must be a saint to put up with your shenanigans lol
This is so badass. Makes me want a sequoia
@Bonespur Thank you they're great trucks man
Nice job on the swap. Looking forward to seeing the front swap!
Thanks Jose 🤘
Now time for a 2nd Gen Tundra steering rack too.
That was the plan but since the steering setup is in front of the wheels on the 2nd Gen the rack turns the opposite way as the 1st gens 🤦
Still possible just not nearly plug and play
@@treehouseoffroad wow. RUclips at it again without the reply notifications. Anyways, what a bummer. I didn't know that. Looking forward to your next project! You're out here beating the odds however.
I have NEVER been so inspired to get a welder!!! Keep rockin' mang!!!!
Doooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiiiittttt!
I'm amazed that the 10.5" isn't a lot more popular..... This is a seriously legit axle. WAY stronger ring and pinion than the beloved Dana 60, and the carrier itself is dimensionally really close to the Dana 80 !! I've actually machined several Dana 80 lockers to fit these third members. Opens the door to 40 spline ! I love the light yet strong sheet metal housing, easy to weld, modify, ect...
I agree it should be more popular. You sound like you know what you're talking about, I'd love to pick your brain sometime in the future when I decide to beef this thing up. If that's okay maybe you could leave a social or hit me up at phin@treehouseoffroad.com.
Thanks for the comment brother.
@@treehouseoffroad Yea I was pretty shocked when I started measuring the internals on the first one of these diffs I got my hands on..... There weren't any LSD / locker options, and I really liked the unit, so one thing led to another and I had one sitting there with a Dana 80 locker in it, custom floater ends and shafts and Wilwood 4 pot calipers on 13" rotors LOL !! Nowadays you can get ARB air lockers, and Eaton E-lockers, so pretty nice options, but I also like my Detroits for simple, hard core builds. The late (1998-up) Toyota 9.5" is also a super overlooked, under rated diff. That third member is super stout, can be set up with 35 spline side gears in ARB air locker and bolts into ALL ealier Toyota 9.5" housings back to the 1950's, plus many Chevy 1/2 ton truck housings dating all the way back to the early 1930's (Yes, the 9.5" Toyota is a evolution of a very old GM rear end.) It's roots started in late 1920's Oakland / Pontiac cars in both open driveline and torque tube form.
@@timmcooper294 Badass man, what is your line of work?
@@treehouseoffroad LOL That's a long story! I can't even begin here , but suffice to say I am a welder, machinist, fabricator, artist that does a lot of freelance r&d work and prototyping, and tend to be extremely curious and "outside the box". I won't go into a deep dive now, but I am totally frustrated with the current state of the automotive / offroad enthusiast "industry"........
Absolutely homogenized "monkey see, monkey do" Nobody has any "deep" know-how or understanding of history, or wrecking yard parts !!. 30-40 years ago, people were doing builds way more like yours, figuring out solutions, being creative... Now, I go to Easter Jeep Safari and it's a sea of 4 door JK's and JL's , Gladiators and some giant late model Tacomas and 4Runners, all pretty similar style. So boring compared with the old days !! Good job on your Sequoia, something different and a solid platform.
@@timmcooper294 Thank you Timm, much respect
Always impressive work
You sold me as a subscriber because i just bought a 1st gen 04 its abeast already but you made me want more 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤great video and awesome shout out to the fam. Keep it real
Right on brother enjoy that 04 let her EAT
The 22 and up tundras and sequoias are using the same axle but went back to the 6x5.5 lug pattern. I’m not sure if the axle shafts will work in the old housing, but I do know the front wheel bearing from the 07 to 21 front hubs are the same as the 22 and up.
That's solid info thank you. I'm heavily invested in the 5 lug at this point though. Sort of an odd flex, definitely a conversation starter!
if I were going all out on an axle like that I would have powder-coated that thing.
I hear ya but naaaaaaaahhh
You are sick!!! Bruh straight up advanced
Thanks daaaaaaawg
That’s awesome! Thanks for paving the way for the rest of us. I’m assuming that you lost a little clearance since the diff is bigger?
Yes it was a compromise that I believe is worth the added strength
@@treehouseoffroad I totally agree! Gotta make it up by going to 40s 😂
I watch your videos every time I do a 4.7 timing belt change just to remind myself my mechanic skills are nothing special.
Hey don't knock yourself probably only 1% of the population could do a 4.7 timing belt, maybe less than that
@@treehouseoffroad thanks for the compliment. Currently in the middle of my 4th in 2 yrs. Doing my son's 4runner. Who knows daughter turns 16 this yr maybe I'll get to 5.
Great great video love all the information thank you sonic for sharing and thank you for the shoutout. Happy Father’s Day.
Hey thanks Frank but do I look like a blue hedgehog to you????
@@treehouseoffroad lmfao I just read back my message hahaha I was like what do you mean. IDK how that happened lol.
Such a great build!! Love watching the videos dude
Hey man you can't watch Sequoia content anymore man you're out of the club!
😆 The community will miss your contributions Isaac. How's the Ranger Raptor treating you? Oh and Happy Father's Day my man
@@treehouseoffroadit was a tough day watching it drive off, but I’m glad with the time spent and miles driven behind the wheel. It’s been good. Getting 24mpg on my daily 90 mile commute helps a lot, paired with some of the newer vehicle features my wife can appreciate have been nice. It’s hard to compare the two vehicles, but for the time in my life and how I utilize my vehicle, it was the right choice… for now… hopefully one day I’ll be back in the sequoia gang haha
@@isaacspoon If I had a 90 mile commute I'd be right there with you brother. I'm sure one day you'll buy another
Damn... you keep giving me a lot of projects with my 5th gen😅. I'm still learning with fabrication and welding. I'll do the FJ transfer case swap, and then I want to do the Tundra rear axle on my 5th gen 4runner. It seems pretty straightforward. I'm just gonna need some time and patience. 🤙🏾💪🏾👊🏾
That's right man time and patience. Only other thing one needs is physical space to work
Sick, well made vid man
Hey thanks brother
Incredible work. Are you a professional mechanic?
Actually no, luckily my partner is
Why do you still have that extra muffler in the back. I cut mine and loosened the connection after the big muffler. You have to force it to down turn the pipe cause there's some dimples in the pipe so they put it together correctly during assembly. It relieved a lot of back pressure. I've been thinking of getting old c6 Corvette muffler I think they might fit welded together in place of the current big muffler for true twice pipes
The resonator has been chopped off for a while, old footage maybe
You are very talented
Nice of you thanks 🙏
Hows the front diff conversion coming? When do you think we will have a video on it?👀👀
It's a challenging one for sure. Mainly bc there are aspects of the project that I can't do myself. Machine work to shorten the intermediate shaft, aluminum welding to shorten the housing. I'm at other people's mercy so there's no definite timeline.
Both those things are done though, and I have one spindle finished.
Short answer is say I'm 70% done.
@@treehouseoffroad oh i absolutely believe it’s challenging! I’m stoked to see it done though! Great job with this rear end though!
New Sequoia hybrid comes with 10.5 inch ring gear at rear from factory . Do you think it will be better at off road compared to previous generations sequoia’s
I think it has more to do with the driver. The new Seq probably has a bunch of traction control systems so maybe that would help?
Great video.
Thank you
Awesome vid!
Appreciate it thanks for commenting
What are those clips you use for the brake lines called??
They're called fluid line stoppers and they work great. I think we have an old OTC set but here's an example:

First!
Confirmed, where do you want your 2024 Sequoia Capstone 4wd delivered?
@@treehouseoffroad 🫣in all seriousness, once you get the 2nd g front diff sorted out, I’ll be one of your first customers!
@@joshuaosborn9878 Stay tuned it's getting there
Update?
Running like a champ. Need to re-gear, I'm running 4.30's. Other than that I've had zero issues
@@treehouseoffroad hell yeah looking forward to the next video on this
