- Ayo! It's a Sequoia, not a 4Runner! We get questions and compliments on our rigs all the time, so we figured we may as well make a vid highlighting our Toyotas, and here it is!

What kind of rig do you take on your adventures??
A VW Golf 💪 We're trying to join the roof tent life soon or look for a small camper, not sure which is the better move yet
GX460
First gen Sequoia.
80 series land cruiser
2007 TRD Sport Tacoma 😎
I am absolutely in love with my 2002 Sequoia. $3,500, 190k miles, had to replace the whole exhaust with cat converter and O2 sensors as they’d all been cut off, cost around $2,200. Some new brake pads and speakers, fixed a leaky rear differential, turned an almost junker into a fantastic truck. I too am planning on painting mine and putting a lift kit on.
Please quit telling everybody how great they are. I'm trying to save some money before everybody runs the price up on them! Lol
Haha
The secret is out, everything Toyo is great. They hold their value. I’ll have my 2019 SR5P forever. Nice mods. Cheap? Not new, but they LAST. Awesome for mtb and ski trips. I’ll consider Sequoia next time. Silver Lake rocks. I’m here in Cle. Great review!
Thanks! Silver Lake is awesome. We took ours there a couple years ago!
I have two for sale now one with 129k and the other has 342k call me at 14049877867 ask for Cedric
i know right ...im looking at one a salsa red with 133k on it for $10,900 at a dealership ...i wont it bad since the saqlse red are rare. but idk if i wanna give $10,900
For anyone curious about reliability, my 07 sequoia has 290k miles on it and it runs fantastic.
Whoever gets a 4runner confused with a sequoia, shouldn't drive because clearly they are blind.
It happens all the time😅
Lol yeah big difference
Yeah not even close to the size of a 4Runner.
@@emguyqn ur comment is a little hard to understand idk if u are saying the Sequoia is smaller or not as small ???
@@mycorrhizae1832 Sorry. What I meant was the sequoia Is much bigger then a 4Runner. Technically the Sequoia is bigger then a land cruiser as well.
Awesome! The sequoia is so underrated. Reliable and roomy!!!
It's so nice to have the extra space on big trips!
Dont forget extra extra extra jerry cans🤣🤣🤣
This warms my heart.
🥰
Your channel is awesome n warms my heart 2 thank u for all ur videos
Take care of the frames on those vehicles.....get them sprayed every year with either KROWN or FLUID FILM...they are rust inhibitors that work great at protecting the frames.....do it every year.
As mentioned the 05-07 had a bit of a mid gen refresh. 5 speed auto (vs 4) , a bit more horsepower, different grill, tail lights etc. Most importantly the ball joints were redesigned to keep you from dying and the 4x4 system was revamped. You can’t actually lock the center diff on some of the early years. 05-07 you can lock the center diff in high and low plus you still have the all time 4x4 mode available, great for slick roads in the winter.
You guys definitely need to make a video taking it muddying or off-roading, that would be really cool to see how yours does
1st gen Sequoias the past 2 years recently went up in price. I have a 06 Sequoia limited with 475,000kms and still drives like new.
nice vid :)
I paid 500$ for my 2005 sequoia 4x4 in perfect condition with 224k miles and its an absolute dream
What a deal
my 2004 sequoia came from wonderful tennessee , a completely rust free 20 year old truck. i have never had a single issue with it and it’s still running and driving strong at 380, 000 miles !! can say enough good things about these vehicles
Awesome truck! I have a 4th gen 4unner, I go mountain biking with friends and we hit up awesome trails here in SoCal 🤙🏻. I love my 4runner 😁
We want to get to those SoCal trails eventually!
4runners are different: body-on-frane construction instead of unibody like the sequoia
The 1st gen sequoia is body on frame
Just bought my 2nd sequoia. No regrets
Congrats🥳
love my 06 4runner but this kinda makes me want a sequoia! Cool vid!
So much more room for activities!
Not if your Runner is a V8..
My 2002 Sequoia has 308,000 miles and still runs great! Been in the family since purchase and has been well taken care of. I’ve tried to trade it in but i can never commit to losing her… I may just put some money into her and get another 10 years out of her I don’t expect my truck to take a 🤬 anytime soon!
The pealing window trim is common in all Toyota's. My 02 Taco did it as well. I pealed it off and embraced the chrome found behind it.
need to replace the tensioner pulley that's what's making the sound.
Good stuff, made it here from the tsor page. Got my 03 4x4 sequoia about 6 months ago. After my kids get a little older looking forward to traveling and hitting some mtb parks. Happy to find this channel, subbed.
Thanks for the sub! So cool to see other mtb riders from tsor🤘
I just bought a 2007 sequoia with 96,000 miles. It was barely used by my moms friends husband who passed. I paid $5,000 for the car and I'm extremely happy!!!
Sad to hear about the husband... but you hit the jackpot on that one!
In Cali... those things are Gold... if you get one under $10k ... they got like 230k miles on them... so rare for 10k under 150k miles
damn all these sequoia videos are going to increase the prices even more
Oops🤭
Sequoia’s are definitely under rated. I ended up getting a 2001 Land Cruiser with the 4.7L engine. These engines are made out of cast iron vs aluminum. My LC has the 2.5” OME lift kit (front & rear shocks, rear springs, torsion bars, diff drop, rear shock cards), 3 SLEE OFF-ROAD skid plates, White Knuckle rock sliders, and a couple other mods. These rigs will last as long you don’t skimp on OEM maintenance.
Sounds like a solid rig!
I've had a 2007 2WD for use as a family hauler for 10 years. it's at 270K and is just starting to leak oil. Going to trade it for a 4WD model, and start messing with it a bit, now that I no longer need to haul so many kids around. These are great vehicles.
I’ve owned my Landcruiser new since 1998 and the 2uz-fe engine is the greatest most reliable engine in any truck.
Absolutely an underrated platfrom.
It absolutely is! You guys do some incredible work! The best looking roof racks for these rigs! The Belford is so sick 😍
Unfortunately in many areas the 4x4 1st generation Sequoia is pretty hard to find. I don’t think they sold very many of them in most parts of the country. Plenty of 2WD examples though.
Don't do spacers for a lift.. go with Bilstein 6112 shocks and you're good
Hey on your trim Peeling... My 83 Supra did the same, Peel off as much as you can, then take some sand paper and lightly sand the chrome, Prime it with EPOXY primer and Paint it with some Epoxy Paint to prevent rust... it will look good from a few feet away and good enough up close. Cost you less than 20 bucks.
🤙🏽 Yota for life
Same here bro!
Trading in a m3 for a older FJ with higher miles than my car I can't wait for my first Yoda
Got my 03 stock for just under 6k. 2 in lift and some 33in Cooper MTs. Flowmaster super44. 260k miles... love it
I need an SUV that can tow a little and a Sequoia seems perfect for my needs. Also the fact that they’re not super expensive used like 4Runners. Hopefully I can still find one for a decent deal 🤗
Cleanest sequoias I’ve seen !!
Thanks 🤙🏻
Lol limited edition serpentine belt. Love it. If I can find a decent one in Reno I might get it.
WOW! If anybody ever got me goin for a Sequoia, it is you and and your video here! I have a 2010 Highlander and it is GREAT....BUT......
When you said the yeti fits I was sold, already sold but yeah, badass SUV! and it’s a real body on frame SUV not some imitation SUV
After searching for a couple months, I finally found a pristine 2003 Limited Sequoia 4x4 on Dallas Craig's list . 133k. One owner, fully serviced at dealership it's entire life. $8000. It's alot smaller than my Excursion that I'm planning on selling. But I do like this little Gen One.
Prices are rising quickly, and the really clean, low mileage ones are snapped up immediately.
I have an 02 with 276k still going. Been to Ohio and back to Florida 4 times and have never left me stranded. Love it. What part of Ohio y’all from? I use to live in Cleveland area before moving to Florida.
Nice video guys of the greatest suv on this planet. I have a 2002 Sequoia that I bought in 2007. Now has 158 k Miles. The only problem I have is the 4 brake system lights on. The mechanic told me that the computer cost like 1200$ to replace. But I still use and drive my truck. If you have a Sequoia just keep it. They run really nice.
Here before prices go up
📈📈
My big a$$ water bottle fits in my holders...hidden gem these vehicles
I recently acquired an 06 seqouia 122k miles with the cats cut off for 500 bucks. I'm excited to get started on this build, I'm just planning on running a couple universal cats. Lifting it up on some bilstein 5100 and throw some tires and lights, replacing all fluids including, diffs, and transfer case.
2:22, I fixed that on my Prelude with electrical tape and it 100% matches the semi-matte oem finish lol.
This vehicle is slept on.
Thank you for opening the 2nd row door and showing us/me the seats with the strap going to the oh shit handles... I just bought an 06 sequoia and noticed that strap tucked away when I was cleaning. Now I know what they’re probably used for. Cheers.
Also, could you give some more info on how you secured the cooler rack? Does it incorporate the third row seat floor bars?
The cooler slides are bolted onto the wood floor I put in. The piece of plywood is bolted down using the factory tie down points in the back
Nice rig👍🏾, I own an 02 4runner that I’m building at the moment to camp in but the thought of my bank account draining from frequent gasoline purchases just gets me down .
No car payment though so it’s worth the gas!
No 4wd under 7k in california im so bummed...gonna drive my subaru outback till 300k miles hopefully. I love these sequioa vids!
Toyotas and Subarus are 👌 glad you like the vid!
Yessir I second that. Been looking for 4 months now. The 1st Gen sequoia market is tapped out just like the old Lexus sleepers.
@@TheBillyBlack the lexus gx 460/470 prices are going up now too
Yes there is if u dont care about mileage... beside most are in the 200k+ miles..
I got an 04 sr5 4wd shes got 283,000 needs a timing belt head gasket which ill fix as soon as I make some more money and some suspension work. She has treated me so well. Love this car
2UZ motor is amazing. Seriously one of my favorite trucks I've ever owned
awesome setup bro!!!! i love the bikes too!
Thanks Bud!
Those earlier Toyota's are so great!! I am looking so hard for an 05-06 Limited Tundra. I can't wait to get one because they are still such solid trucks!! Y'alls trucks look great!
The tundras are awesome! Good luck finding one!
Man, i just got mine yesterday and I'm psyched to start doing stuff to it.
Great vehicles - got two of them and they're rock solid.
I had an Xterra and it was horrible on the interstate, it was soooo top heavy and wallowy and it felt like it really didn't want to go any faster than 55mph, I replaced the springs and shocks, and it was still horrible. I got a 07 2 door Rubicon now and it's way more reliable than the Xterra. Feels way better on the road too.
Wow, Ive been looking at used 1st gen tacomas to buy for the past year now and they are insanely expensive, although it makes sense why. I never knew how good a 1st gen sequoia could look until I saw yours. I will definitely consider getting one instead of a Tacoma now. Thanks so much for the great video!
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching!
I would definitely be interested in seeing a video of your camping setup (rooftop tent and when you sleep inside the back)
Great video sold my built pathfinder to get a 07 sequoia.. slightly more room just a better truck all around ..love it so far ..thanks for taking the time to make this available for all to see.. keep up the good work..
Thanks for watching! Glad you like it!!
Great vid
It's videos like these that fuckin make older cars skyrocket in value....
Oops🤭
Sickeeee rigs fellas. Scored a 06 for a good deal, can't wait to mod it out.
Hell yeah!👊
just had a co-worker offer me their 2005 for 3k only 140k miles I'm super excited, I've wanted a Toyota suv/ truck for a while but everyone wants an arm and leg for theirs. looking forward to doing similar mods to mine as you did to yours
My 2 first gen Tundras window "mascara" started peeling too. Honestly doesnt look bad if you just peel it all off. Love the rig!
Another good one to look at now is the GX470. Lexus,V8 and can be had cheap! Love the slider you have in the back might look into it for my 4runner
I (Blake) was looking at some of those GXs but couldn’t find one nearby that was in good shape for the right price, so I ended up with the Yota!
Most toyota gass hogs are cheap
@@mryang3644, speaking of gas hogs, what is the mpg of Sequoias?
@Sophos1964 Not sure, but my bros 06 tundra double cab 4x4( same motor as sequoia of same year) geared 4:88 on 315/70/17, loaded with suppies for hunting trip, 2 person in truck, front steel bumper, rear steel with tire swing out and jerrycan carry, gets 10 MPG...yes sir...
Swap a 5.3 or 6.0 chevy vortec into a SEQUOIA, u be golden... them motors are pretty reliable and more useful power than the toy 4.7l.
our 2003 still runs great even after 18 years and 301K miles later.
you guys seem chill ur brother did overpay big time u can get them for quite cheap in cali but nice video! i know these sequoias are sweet but i dont really offroad much i just have a tacoma i use for my business and if i get another vehicle itll probably be a car just to get decent mileage when im whipping
I definitely overpaid😓 but I was in need of another car and that was the only sequoia around that was in good shape so I had no choice!
Like for Murica!!
That’s the fan pulley going to your fan clutch and water pump. Mine broke otw from MS to Colorado in Amarillo Texas and left me stranded. Sounded like that when started up. Look into it. Seriously
Oh and I slept in the back with my pitbull because I was over landing. Lol
The Sequoia is gonna be what the GX460/470 was 3-4 years ago.
Got an 05 Tundra DoubleCab. Love that thing. Looking for some FJ Wheels : )
Replace the squealing accessory belt with a Continental Elite belt (used to be Goodyear Gatorback.) That will fix the squeal.
Love the builds on these
Between Toyota and Subaru for AWD vehicles, it never gets any better than that! 👍👍👍 Awesome video!
🤘🤘
U do kno AWD and 4x4 is not the same right?
My wife won’t get rid of hers. 2002 4x4 original owners! Has 190,000 miles. Stock SR5. Such a solid ride.
I think we will keep ours forever!
My friends call my tree a 5Runner
I like that!
Mask off the area above and below the window weather stripping so no or very little over spray, and respray the black window stripping with black plati-dip in very light coatings and it will look like almost factory!!!!
I have a good condition 4th gen Runner (White) with 2” lift kit and nice wheel/tire set of FJ Cruiser. 185K miles, runs like a champ and love it but it’s time for a new one. I hope to sell it to another Runner lover.
Right on!
there is a TSB for the belt squeal that involves a new tensioner and A/C bracket.
If you haven’t done so yet. Replace those LBJ’s with OEM ones
Just got a 2003 sequoia! I got all terrain tires and I’m building a camper in the back. Can’t wait to go out west this summer
You’re going to love it!
Send 'er Buds first gen sequoias are the ideal budget overlander/adventure vehicle. I’m building a small bed in the back, any recommendations on what to use for window covers back there?
is that the 64 or 46 or 36 oz yeti? looks smaller then the 64oz for sure. want to buy the right size.
*EDIT: the answer is 36 oz fits the cupholders*
can't find them in CA for under 10k with 4wd. I think the secret is out!
You can use vinyl wrap fix that trim on the window.
Nice build! About to do a light weight budget conscious build on my Tacoma TRD off road to support my fatbike adventures.
That would be perfect! You don’t need much to make it way more capable. Bigger tires and maybe a small lift!
Just got mine today!
Love the builds!!
You’re going to love it!
@@Blake_Cherubini thanks!
Can wait to start on it!
that's not the belt bro, is the tensioner. i had to get the whole assembly from the dealer bc the pulley from my local discount parts stores did not fit properly.
Hmmm, how come it stopped for a while though when I replaced the belt? Chase also had the same noise, replaced the belt, and has been nice and quiet since🤔 I have no clue😂
@@Blake_Cherubini really!? I replaced mine with a dayco then 3months later noise came back. Thought the belt was cheap and got a Toyota one with more parts, now that is cold it made noise again and I found out it was the bearing bc it wobbles. I will replace the tensioner assembly this weekend. Hoping that’s the end of it.
Either the tensioner or one of the idlers pulleys. They're very easy to replace, usually just a bolt or two.
A scotch brite pad and SEM Trim Black will make that window molding like new. Or a little tape and Plasti Dip
bro for the sqeaking belt seriously try some CRC BELT CONDITIONER that stuff really works i use it on my 01 new edge gt needs some good conditioning thats all you will love how it works!!! gets rid of the sqeak everytime!!
Own both 1st and 2nd gen sequoia and they are the most reliable vehicles ever. i cannot turn either into an overland as neither use Atrac or have a locker. I also own a 2010 FJ Cruiser with Atrac and Locker. That thing truly goes ANYWHERE. I would love to turn one of the sequoias but i am looking at selling one just to buy a LandCruiser which does have Atrac. i have had the Sequoia flexed and the 2 wheels without traction just spin and the tank goes nowhere. amazing vehicle and tons of room for camping but if you go anywhere with flex be careful if you do not have a winch. Getting a 6500LBs Sequoia stuck is no joke.
A locker can easily be added to make it more off road worthy
@@Blake_Cherubini which locker would you guys recommend? How involved would it be to install? thanks
great vid! i have the same ride and even white. 2” lift with spacers and 33’s. i have the led headlights but haven’t found a nice taillight. are your taillights aftermarket or tinted? they look good
Thanks! They just have a tint on them! They were like that when I bought it!
Big lawn mower! LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣, no shit! 😂😂😂😂
Thanks this is good info. It’s either this or a GX 470 I’m buying next but now I’m leaning more towards this
The 470 is an awesome vehicle too!
Awesome vehicle man. And i love those bikes specialized Enduro 🤘
Thanks bro! The enduro is a sick bike too!
Thanks 🙏 looking for toyota Sequoia very cheap in my area Pennsylvania
Sick, glad I found this I'll be looking at an '03 tomorrow. It's 3am, I'm excited haha. What would you say the first thing I should do is? (If I decide to get it)
I have the same truck and have been dying to give it an upgrade. Where did you get your parts in the description. Like the freedom off road arms
#ToyotaGANG🔥✊🏽😎⚡️⚡️🔥
Put some dielectric grease on the belt the squeaking will go away, just a little goes a long way
Ah the moor mans land cruiser! Awesome!
Where I live in Belgium or just Europe in general it’s hard to find a good Sequoia for under 20,000.
I wanted the Sequoia and or a 4th gen 4runner but they're horribly expensive. After looking for months I decided to spend the extra money on a new lexus gx460.
We got in before everyone found out they are amazing! The 460’s are awesome too!
