2021 Toyota Sequoia TRD PRO Build

[VeteranDan]

This post is for discussing the build on my new 2021 TRD PRO Sequoia rig for overland adventures with family and friends. The primary choice for a Sequoia was the ability to use the massive interior space for sleeping quarters vs. a rooftop tent with the amount of wind we have in the midwest. Primary use with family and friends is for easy - moderate trails.

Current modifications:

* Toyo Open Country MT 285 65 R18 10 Ply E Rated
* TRD Pro Spare Rim & matching Toyo Open Country MT
* Additional TRD Pro crossmembers (x3) for additional support (600 static weight lb distribution)
* Spare lock nut socket
* Yakima Megawarrior basket with extension for use on TRD Pro rack
* Yakima light mounts
* RIGd hitch mounted spare tire carrier (Toyota lug version)
* RIGd Rotopax mount
* Rotopax 4 gallon fuel
* Rotopax 2 gallon fuel
* Pro Eagle offroad jack
* Westcott designs Sequoia TRD Pro lift (1.5" front / 1" rear) for TRD Fox Shocks

Please post a few pictures. How does it ride?

Bone stock straight from the dealership.

First day home with new ‘21 4Runner. Had 33” Toyo OC MTs installed right away.

Crossmembers arrived at a local dealership after searching nationwide for additional parts. I had to provide dealership of purchase and VIN to verify I actually owned a Sequoia TRD PRO.

This would be essential for mounting the Yakima Megawarrior with extension over six points on the TRD PRO rack.

It looks very nice. I saw a stock Sequoia at the top of Hurricane pass in Colorado a couple of years ago. They do well on the passes around Silverton and Ouray.

Rigd Supply Mega-Fit Ultraswing spare tire and Rotopax mount. Awesome piece of gear.

Nice i have been looking at that swingout and the Yakima skinny warrior for our 21 Z71 Tahoe. We already use a roofbox and i wanted a way to secure the tent and extra fuel up there.

1 week to CO overland trip. Added additional Rotopax fuel pax for backcountry preparedness and/or assistance to others. Rock Slide makes a great system for Rotopax on your spare tire. Using this All Top bag for review to see how it holds up next week.

Scottsbluff is a Nebraska spot few even know about. It’s not all flat here.

Base camp was set on a 7,000 acre cattle ranch. Our RIGd ultraswing and table was helpful for making a quick meal.

Every time our family gets out to overland in NE, CO, WY, or SD we love every minute. I can’t wait for the next adventure.
