Beautiful Job. I moved from a 97 4Runner to a Silver 05 SR5 4wd with 85K that is pretty much a bone stock blank canvas. Your rig is an inspiration!

You've seriously got me considering a Sequoia...

Best Overland SUV IMO.. space, capacity, Reliability, payload. All with a V8.. tough to beat

Joined specifically because of this build. I may end up going this route vs buying a newish 4Runner.

Forgotten note from Death Valley: Suspension needs more travel - possible solution = disconnect/possible removal of front and primary rear sway bars.

After much research and discussion with our small group of Sequoia off road enthusiasts... I decided to remove the sway bars for a few days and get a feel for Wanda's performance.

Plan was to drive around the neighborhood, then nearby trail, then work up to normal driving conditions around town, highway, freeway etc..

That all happened in about an hour.. answer: should have removed the sway bars a long time ago... ride quality is much better, minimal body roll change, suspension rides smoother and quieter, and my goal of more suspension travel was accomplished. A few days later I ventured out with the trailer to experience the same results.

You can see our on-going discussion about the removal of anti-swaybars here: Who has their anti-sway bars removed?

Watch her flex... (that isn't even maxed out..) View attachment 83507 Mission accomplished!

That looks awesome

I just got an 07 and want to tackle some lighter trails. Brand new to overlanding. Thanks for the detailed build!

Kool Build, helps with deciding what larger SUV I may get, best bang for the money. At this point I'm looking at either a 4Runner or Sequoia.
