Just started following, I really like the content. I used to be the guy that got rid of my car as soon as it hit 100000 miles and would stop taking highway trips over an hour after the car reached 75000. Now I am enjoying the process of having an older car. I have a 2016 Cadillac XTS that I bought in 2018. Car has just under 100000 miles. I plan to keep it for at least 250000. I have kept up with all maintenance and am religious about oil changes. Car runs as good now as it did when I first purchased it. I had to replace the magnetic ride shocks a few years ago but found a local mechanic who did it for half the price the dealer wanted to charge. Anyway, keep up the good work and I love that you are showing people that you can find good cars for decent money and can run well if you keep up with basic maintenance….In terms of the XTS engine, it’s actually quite bullet proof. GM did a great job with it and many livery drivers get 300000 or more with their XTS vehicles..
@@LensOfMartin Bro I have to ask. How much did those OEM window moldings run you because OEM is almost 600. Did you run across some backyard deals or what??
Man! Just ordered 2884 springs w/ 5100’s for the front. Went Dobinson in the rear tho. Let us know about that 4WD problem. Curious to hear if it’s the transfer case actuator or ADD
Hey, I have an ‘03 and the DVD system works, but the player doesn’t play video. Would you be interested in parting with your player unit? I’m assuming it worked prior to the upgrade. Thanks! 😊
Yes I have same issues. Abs / anti skid comes up / breaks start pulsating when going in to corners / on ramp off ramp get scary to drive. Old crap is junk. One time one of the pulleys got stuck and ripped my new serpentine belt. Too many problems to list.
Nice job. I have 2005 too. You mentioned suspension, but not covered. Does it have air suspension (at rear end)? I did not see buttons to control height. That is where you put USB plug.
I wouldn’t buy it. Ull regret. It’s big in size yes. Lots of space yes but too many issues. Listen to your wife. I just had to purchase a. Awd actuator from Japan for $550 vs dealer asking over $1k. Mine has a rod where transfer case must be opened up to replace it. Called many mechanics and nobody really want to mess with it. One guy quoted me 1250 for labor and he is 5 hours away and he needs 12 hours to replace. Some sequoias come with actuators where rod can be disconnected without messing with transfer case. Not in my case. Another time one of the pulleys got stuck ( spider looking pulley) and it ripped my serpentine belt. Glad it happened when I was near my house and without my kids. It’s mpg sucks too.
Got 300k miles on my 02' Blazer ZR2 4x4. Love her. She still looks new & after a new HD Tranny, all new brakes, brake lines, front shafts, wheel bearings, rear diff locker, a $1k in the 4.3 Vortec engine & much more. She's running better now than my Wife's new car & it's getting better mileage than the sticker (16 town) getting 18 now. Had a $15k offer but passed. I just love her.
Awesome Sequoia truck. Black exterior and black interior.
Sequoias are truly a hidden gem.
Hidden gem with too many issues.
If those Issues are addressed. You have a very reliable vehicle
I drive a 2002 sequoia with 370 000 kms bought it with 304 000 a few years back still running strong 💪🏼
I always thought the Sequoia was ugly, even the model after this and the newest model. This Sequoia in particular is beautiful 😍. Good job!

I’ll give you $500 if that car makes it to 250k
What brand is that mat for the trunk?
I'm a 4th gen 4Runner owner that I've nodded. Really enjoyed this video. We have some common mods.
What android head unit is that ?
Love this, I have an ‘07 and am always looking for ways to keep it up to date to make it last longer.
I love what you’ve done with the Yota. Next time you press the 4WD high drive forward and it should engage.
Saw somone on instagram with the plate SICCOYA....before you got yours. Just throwing it out there.
I’m definitely not the first, but a fun thing to do 😅

Bro I have to ask. How much did those OEM window moldings run you because OEM is almost 600. Did you run across some backyard deals or what??
@@Cmoney860 I think I paid around $400-500 on BAM parts 😅
@@LensOfMartin
Thank you for getting back brother. Appreciate that shid!
I just got a 2007 with 230k miles for $4k 😄. Looking forward to adding some of these features!
Had a blast following your progress, keep it up! I just purchased a 2002 Limited
Same. Rust free frame. Hoping to have it for a while.
Looking really good over the last several months!
That caris awesome!! I love the steering wheel change

Clean build! You got the link to the usb insert?
Awesome Work man, really beautiful Sequoia. Can you share brand and model of the head unit?
Hey! Link to the OEM window door trim pieces? Love the build. I have a very similar 2007
where did you get the steering wheel? cant find them
Link for headunit?
What brad are the H4 mini proyector lights.?
I had the same 4x4 issue in my Sequoia. I fixed it by replacing the fuse for the 4x4
Recall? On the frame?
Hi. Can you please tell me what fog lights are you using on that Sequoia?
What kids of cargo mat do you have?
Did you have someone install your speakers and Sub? Had issues trying to repair the fronts speakers connect with the DVD player.
Hey, I have an ‘03 and the DVD system works, but the player doesn’t play video. Would you be interested in parting with your player unit? I’m assuming it worked prior to the upgrade. Thanks! 😊
Nice, Where did you get the USB port plug for the lower center console ?
Link on the android head unit? Your build looks nice!!
Could the brake booster be the reason my brakes sometimes feel almost like the router has bumps on it
Yes I have same issues. Abs / anti skid comes up / breaks start pulsating when going in to corners / on ramp off ramp get scary to drive. Old crap is junk. One time one of the pulleys got stuck and ripped my new serpentine belt. Too many problems to list.
What brand of trunk mat did u put in can u send me a link since I’m not going to have the third row in as well
Nice work. Keep it up!
do you have a link for the head unit?
I got 2005 and i can,t find where is the gas filter..? Or is inside of the gas tank…?
Inside the tank with the pump.
Is that the stock steering wheel or aftermarket? Also great videos!
Awesome ride man. Question was the speakers plug and play?
Nice job. I have 2005 too. You mentioned suspension, but not covered. Does it have air suspension (at rear end)? I did not see buttons to control height. That is where you put USB plug.
It just has normal suspension (no air) and I upgraded it to something a little more substantial for light off roading
what size is the head unit? 9 inch? 11?
where did you get the head unit from??
What android headunit did you use?
Great truck, great video!
Just curious...how expensive was the timing belt service?
I actually did it myself in a weekend and with $250 in parts, but dealers charge $1000-1500 from what I’ve seen
@TheLensOfMartin thx for the response
Definition of; Tastefully Done. 👌🏾
Saw a gasden flag so I subscribed. 👍
That a nice truck !!
beautiful truck
Do you still have it?
Recently sold it actually since my needs changed
@@LensOfMartin smart move.
Is it reliable to take kids on long drives. My wifes doubt n wont let me buy.

Redline sent me !!! Show us the gx550!!!!
I love my sequoia I want Is a six speed in it though that grandma ass four speed with no vvt is laughable especially in the mountains

Not rare just getting harder to find not completely rusted out
Wheels and tires look way too small
