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…
I’ve only had the Sequoia for 3 months now, which is incredible to think of because of how much driving we’ve done in it. I’ve driven the car a total of 5,500 miles so far, and I’ve towed the Evo 4 times now, twice to Wisconsin and twice to Michigan. Towing has been easier than…
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.…
Another modification for the Sequoia – the pedal feel on the Sequoia wasn’t up to my standards, and after replacing the rotors, pads, calipers, and flushing the fluid, I figured the culprit was with the brake lines. The stock rubber brake lines had seen 228,000 miles of torture, and it seemed likely with the age…
Given that this is my first large SUV, let alone full-size body on frame SUV, I had difficulty getting used to the Sequoia’s roll in corners. The entire car felt like it was going to tip over, and I was not able to get used to the feeling. There are not a lot of options…
We are big fan of Canvasback liners for our daily drivers, and with all the hauling the Sequoia does, it was a sure thing to get a set for this car as well. The liner is a little more involved than our other cars, as the captains chairs get 2 sets – one for when…
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…
