I had already known I was going to want an alignment prior to the start of the season – I was expecting the camber to be a little lower in the front, so I had wanted to get that taken care of – what I didn’t expect was how off the entire car was –…
Got an easy one here – replaced my Sequoia low-beam bulbs today. The lights had been looking fairly dim before this, and as it turned out, the passenger’s side headlight was out. The foglights that I always run had been masking the issue to a degree. The low beam bulbs are H11s, and are accessible…
Decided to compile all the other 2020 updates I had for the Sequoia here, as they are all fairly minor, including: New dashcam This is the same one I use in the Prius now as well, which records both forwards and behind. 4-way Plug extension We don’t ever expect to use 4 plugs, but it…
This post is a tiny bit of a cop-out as I didn’t take good pictures of the process, but the fluid change for the front differential might be the easiest job of the fluid changes to do. The drain and fill plugs both use M10 hex heads, and are both located on the driver’s side.…
I went to top off the oil in my Evo when I had a bit of an incident happen. The bottle of oil I use has an insert in the cap that is supposed to stay in the cap – unbeknownst to me, instead of staying in the cap, it sat on the top of…
Just a small update – new air filter ordered for the Evo (Amsoil EAAU4560-EA). The old one was looking quite worse for the wear and checking my logs, has been trucking on for 3 1/2 years – well past its prime. The availability of the EAAU4560 seems spotty, so I ordered 2, which should last…
Another solid UOA result for the Evo. This car was driven HARD over this period of time, with a lot of track days. The Evo is going to start seeing much, much less mileage on the clock as I now have a tow car, so the UOA analyses will likely stop as well. Overall really…
This is a how-to for the 2008-2020 (Gen 2) Toyota Sequoia’s air filter change. You gotta love Toyota’s design simplicity here, no tools required. Items/Tools Required: Air filter (I chose this)
This is a how-to for the 2008-2020 (Gen 2) Toyota Sequoia’s rear differential fluid change. This is probably the easiest maintenance you can do on the Sequoia – might not even need the car lifted, but I had mine up anyway. Items/Tools Required: 3T + jack & stands or ramps 10mm hex head & 22mm…
This is a how-to for the 2008-2020 (Gen 2) Toyota Sequoia’s transfer case fluid change. This is also a pretty standard job, the only additional step is removing the small shield that covers the drain plug. Items/Tools Required: 3T + jack & stands or ramps 12. 24, and 22mm socket 2qts of 75w85 GL5 Gear…
