Man i truly appreciate all the feed back and support! The team from fieldcraft did an amazing job editing this I am beyond excited for what the future holds
Worked at a dealership when I was in high school quite a while back; We had multiple parking lots a few miles away from the dealership due to space constraints, and we used a Sequoia to get there. When I left, it was over 300k miles and still kicking. We used to wholesale them to the middle east all the time, they loved them over there. Great machine, and awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Hope you're doing well Derek, and Mike H. Love the channel Mike G.
As a father of two kids under 6, it’s tough getting the time to work on our projects. Huge shout out to our wives for helping us out on our projects. Good job on your build👍
This was a great story I used to be a Toyota Technician and loved the Sequoia easy to work on and a pleasure to drive. This video took the Sequoia to a whole new level for the first gens.
Mad respect for you and the team. I have done extreme rock crawling in Moab, and Rubicon and similar areas. Sierra Nevada kicked my ass. Came off the trail with brake liners thinner than a credit car. Mechanic looked at me and asked, "Why are you even still alive?" My skills were never that great, but I learned things about myself, pitting choice of lines and the like, and being with good people, it's just one of the best things you can ever do in life. But your ability to fab the machine is so far beyond anything I ever did. Having once been strapped through 9 of 12 miles, picking up U-joints and other pieces along the way, carnage happens.
Great job Derek, listened to the podcast last week and was waiting for the video. What you guys accomplished was nothing short of a huge success. Be proud.
Man, this video gave me chills... for one, I have a gray 07 Sequoia on a 3" lift with 33's... seeing what you were able to do with yours is impressive. Sequoias are always underappreciated. Props to you, your wife and your entire team for getting as far as you did..
That looked brilliant and I was truly happy for the whole team that they lasted longer than a lot of the more specific vehicles there that day. Go Fieldcraft Survival.
This is so awesome. I built up my 04 limited for minor overlanding and have yet to hit a trail,,,, after watching this, im ready to chop it up, put in a roll cage and do the same thing. This is just awesome. Well done Derek and team!
That's just freaking amazing! The fact that you built it then worked with family and friends is incredible. You've got an awesome team and family around you! Much love and support!
Everyone has a dream, but there are few that have lived theirs and fewer that have attempted something as monumental as KING OF THE HAMMERS! Your achievement to those who know you, those who know this race and those who know what you did to get their, will forever remember you succeeding in one of your life's greatest challenges. CRAWL ON LITE BRITE
Amazing video guys! Had a blast working our way back out of Outer Limits with Derek and Mike. Hope to see them again next year or at another race this season.
Killer video!! I’m stoked you got footage of pushing the ranger up in Cougar, I was a couple cars behind you and it was pretty epic. I own the 4659 DKA Motorsports Comanche and our race didn’t go too well either but was still a great time and managed to get some livestream time in lol.
1st gen sequoias are the only affordable Toyota hidden gems left nowadays! (Stop telling everybody 😄) Great work from a hard working family! Congratulations!
By the way for anyone unfamiliar, completing a full lap of a KOH race with a rushed, freshly home built, non-tube buggy kit car is just incredible, especially being able to leave the track under it's own power 😯 👍👍👍
Finally someone that thinks outside the Box,,Encouragement to do more to my 2004 Sequoia ,I am Just Replacing all the worn part's but some day i want it to just go on regular off road's ,,,Nice Job You guy's have done it , made a race Sequoia,and it is Badass!, As they say ,Keep on Trucking!
Awesome video, Awesome build! Love how out there even during the real race many are still stopping, checking on each other, and helping each other. Even if it's a quick thumbs up it brings the race down to reality. It's a race but it's also a bunch of buds watching out for each other.
Awesome video! So cool to see what you and your team accomplished. Great to see the family effort and that of your friends. Sorry it didn't go as planned but you'll be back stronger! Was there and I'm pretty sure I saw you guys 🤘
Was into offroading years ago, had an 03 TJ I built on tons/40s/stretched to 110in but was sold when we had my son and been doing other stuff ever since. I just got an 05 Sequoia and got the offroading bug again... Seeing this reignited my dream/bucket list item to build something for KOH (no, not my Sequoia, I'll build a dedicated buggy). Awesome job and super unique build!!
Lemme tell YOU a story of 99 4runner. It has 260,000 miles, has been getting me to work on a drilling rig in West Texas, has only been down ONCE and that's because I hit a barditch at 60mph. They are unlike anything out there and someone would have to kill me to get that thing. Her name is brenda
Thanks for sharing Kick ass event and put 1000% heart in your equipment and your team that worked to make happen. This stuff of America was built on. Endeavor of setting out put try like Hell to make it a go. Thanks share and keep it up.
I just bought an 03 Sequoia to turn into a trail rig. Nothing quite this hardcore, but I’m looking forward to getting it on the trail. Well done you guys!
I’m building a 96’ T100 piece by piece in my garage. Don’t see any of them around town or on the trail. You’re a f**** inspiration dude! Party on and keep filming!
That’s bad ass. The moser I see these being used as big bad off-road machines the more I kinda want one!! I recently did a walk around on one with a solid axle and built for overlanding and it’s awesome but this, this is next level cool
Congrats man! Very cool journey. I’m gearing up to complete my prerunner Tacoma and this was just thing I needed to get excited for the next big push of fab work 🤘🏻
If you’re ever in southern Texas, Mr Mike would you please stop by my parents ranch? I have a truck made for King of The Hammers. We picked it up in pieces basically. But the reason I want you to stop by is to check out my EarthRoamer, sir. Give me some feedback on some of the options I chose. Like the auxiliary diesel tank I got. Every thing on the truck is diesel powered, the stove, the genset, the water heater, the oven. I can go 1,300 miles on a fill up. If I dip into the secondary auxiliary tank I can go 1600 miles.
My 02 sequoia is the most comfortable, capable rig I’ve ever had, if the dang back hatch would open reliably, and it got better than 11mpg, look out world. Tough enough to go off roading yet spacious enough for a family.
I was at the hammers, wish I would have seen your guys rig, and might have seen y'all at the rubicon if the rig didn't have the field craft logo on it yet
Epic. I grew up watching mainly road racing but have always considered King Of The Hammers to be a bucket list event. Would love to see some BTS content - was this completely the in house video team?

My parents siqoua is sitting at 475k miles. Still kicking strong. That 4.7 is unmatched.
I just bought a 4.7 4WD 4runner...Starting to believe itll be the best purchase of my life
Only by 6.2s probably.
@@odys3803 Ehh GM quality is not in the same realm.
@@dixonsantana-lamboy8432 I wrote 6.2 not GM. If you don't see a difference, you might have a problem.
@@odys3803 Please do clarify here then. Are you referring to the 6.2 diesel or something else?

Belief in self, strong marriage and partnerships, will and exhaust fumes. Excellent work!
Absolutely enjoyed watch this!!! Amazing!
The thing that stood out to me the most is the amazing support of his wife👌👌 may we all be this blessed 🙏🙏 sick build man.
Great job Derek, listened to the podcast last week and was waiting for the video. What you guys accomplished was nothing short of a huge success. Be proud.
I love my 02’, she has 335k miles on her. She loves to be driven hard and never complains. Great job Miller family and friends!
That took some balls. I shared this to Toyota usa twitter page.

Love seeing the Sequoia get some much needed attention!
Saw you guys start! Rebuild, and we will be looking forward to setting you next year
Amazing video guys! Had a blast working our way back out of Outer Limits with Derek and Mike. Hope to see them again next year or at another race this season.
Great job! Crazy gratitude for you all putting yourselves out there to share these experiences.
This was a cool change of pace! If there's a weak spot on your truck then Johnson Valley will show you where it is. It's a tough race for sure.

That’s awesome and amazing. Love the teamwork, dedication and commitment.
Awesome bro super inspiring
I absolutely love Sequoia! This is by far the baddest one I have ever seen.
amazing work making it through a lap of one of the hardest races in the world
Pretty cool, way to go!

I own a 06 toyota sequoia limited with 475000, still drives like new. currently modding it to be an overlander, hopefully be done by a year.
Good luck to you bud that sequoia is a dream truck in my eyes!
I just bought an 03 Sequoia to turn into a trail rig. Nothing quite this hardcore, but I’m looking forward to getting it on the trail. Well done you guys!
Awesome story!! Can’t wait to see what you do next year!
amazing! congratulations! keep pushing!
That was awesome guys, this year was a great race, hope ye go back next year
this man and his team needs to be on Hoonigan AutoFocus
Wow, I got a 1st gen sequoia too. Your car a beast
Amazing, simply amazing. Well done! 👍
I’m building a 96’ T100 piece by piece in my garage. Don’t see any of them around town or on the trail. You’re a f**** inspiration dude! Party on and keep filming!
What a good woman Derek has. Positive mindset. Not there to tell him no.
That was awesome, the fact you completed more than 1 lap in such a limited time build is amazing. Don't doubt on Sequoias, they are a sturdy chassis
Fantastic accomplishment even without the extremely short timeline! Bravo.
What a big beast… man Toyota should sponsor you.. Ivan Ironman Steward would be proud of you 👏🏼
Absolutely amazing job what an inspiration.
I loved this!
Awesome adventure Derek and Mike!! The Sequoia Beast is the best! 👊
I'm buying Fieldcraft shit just for being such an awesome sponsor and supporting this team!
Exceptionally ballsome!! You guys performed ! Many lessons learned, good times and best wishes on the next race!!!
Hope you guys go back for KOH 2022 awesome job :)
Awesomenessssssss !!!!💪🏽💪🏽
ĶOH needs a class just for this type of grass-roots vehicles. "Just Legal"
300,000 miles on my sequoia. Toyota strong baby. Made it home on its own power. Legendary
Amazing!!
This is incredible guys! Congrats on the run!
Love this!! Fellow Sequoia Offroader in Las Vegas. 2004 Limited 4WD 275K miles no issues
grate job!
That’s bad ass. The moser I see these being used as big bad off-road machines the more I kinda want one!! I recently did a walk around on one with a solid axle and built for overlanding and it’s awesome but this, this is next level cool
Man this was awesome to watch. This team is great as well. You guys are just good people.
Congrats man! Very cool journey. I’m gearing up to complete my prerunner Tacoma and this was just thing I needed to get excited for the next big push of fab work 🤘🏻
Love there drive of this family. Hope to see more in The future
Dang how the heck did Seth Rogan land Drew Barrymore as a wife/pit manager?
Nice challenge Johnson Valley KOH is truly a proving ground.
Great job.
I was rooting for you guys. From a fellow tree to another. 👍
Awesome build.. Love it! 👍🤩
All we need now is a RAV4 Beast and a 4Runner Beast! 😜
Epic! Good show, brother!
Great story. I'm looking for a sequoia to carry my growing family around...
I was there and saw that thing pull up to the starting line and was like WTF is that, now I know the rest of the story. 👍
Awesome video!!! Great crew!!! Badass tree!!!!
I had an 05 Sequoia and I loved it. It had 300k when I sold it and planned on driving it to 500k. It is just big 4runner and I loved wheeling it.
I need one of those sequoia beast hoodies for when I'm wheeling mine!
Tshirts are available. Hit me on IG. Dmill_withawelder
Akio Toyoda: Hold my Saké!..
Well done, learn from it and keep moving forward guys!!!
Derek if you're not in First Gen Tundra's / Seqouia's on Facebook you should be! Awesome stuff man

Found this channel from a random Redcell video. This opening shot, I subbed.
My 02 sequoia is the most comfortable, capable rig I’ve ever had, if the dang back hatch would open reliably, and it got better than 11mpg, look out world. Tough enough to go off roading yet spacious enough for a family.
This was dope as hell!!!
As a proud Sequoia owner I need beast merchandise!! 😐
Working on it
Tshirts exist now. Shot me a Dm on IG
Absolutely amazing and thanks
I was at the hammers, wish I would have seen your guys rig, and might have seen y'all at the rubicon if the rig didn't have the field craft logo on it yet
You guys are rad! Well done!👍👍
Fukin pumped !!!!how did I get here ??? Haha
Great video!!!
Damn good job gentlemen! Thank you for sharing.
Is there a build thread or walk around video of this rig somewhere? I thought I had a cool build but this is beyond my build by a long shot lol

Very well constructed video.
