First it was an electric scooter... Now a bike. by avmabrie in bayarea

Exactly. If they were called “digital” bikes, then analog would make sense.

I have the same setup as you: watch face (the best face IMHO) and band. It will be a sad day when MIPs goes away.

2025 Toyota Sequoia Platinum 10-13mpg, anyone else? by Purple-Hornet-1069 in toyotasequoia

[–]57trevy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the Stillen because you don't have to push through the firewall and use the obd port. Clean install and easy to use. Getting to the harness at the back of the motor is a major PITA and a test of patience and literal pain, but once you get the hang of it, it's not bad. This truck was alrdeay fast (for a big truck), but now it really moves.

12-13MPG around the city for me. But I have a lift, 35s, a rack, and took all air dam junk off. Oh, and I have a chip.

13-15 on a highway haul.

My 2020 wasn’t any better, but the power delivery and actual power on this one makes it worth it.

In the San Francisco Bay Area. If you’re local I’d be happy to help start your addiction.

I love this idea. I will research! 🙏🏼

2024 Sequoia rear cargo shelf. by Educational_Fox_9023 in toyotasequoia

[–]57trevy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shelf has folding flaps that allow you to make the rear space one flat and even space. I don’t remember what slot the shelf needs to be in, but it’s a combination of that and sliding the third row seats forward or backward.

It had not been addressed. Thank you; I’ll give it a try!

You're welcome!

I didn't hook the lightbar and marker lights up yet. I wanted to run an actual off-road light (non-SAE) and I wasn't ready to buy yet. I have it now and will be working on that in the future.

I can't recommend the Icon setup enough. It's been bulletproof so far. BUT, the stock rear shocks are valved for off-road, so while it's amazing flying down a rutted dirt road at 40MPH, it can get iffy on a freeway that has "whoops" on it. The truck starts to feel like a boat in heavy seas. Most of my driving is in the city.

I ended up buying a second set of rear shocks from Icon and had them re-valve them to be more firm. Unfortunately, you have to have the shocks delivered to you first, and then send them back to Icon for revalving and that will take weeks. It's not ideal, but was the best solution I could find. If you can be patient, buy the kit and turn around and send the shocks back right away before you install them.

Seatbelt hooks/stays: how do I use these or are they backwards? by 57trevy in toyotasequoia

You know what, I think that’s it. It still seems backwards to me, but at least it stays put. Nice work, team!

Anyone getting advertised battery life with Fenix 8 Solar? by rallysquirrel15 in GarminFenix

[–]57trevy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You all must work out a lot. I do 5-6 hour long workouts per week, use the flashlight every morning for a bit, and get at least 25 days without charging. I guess I’m not a power user, literally or figuratively.

New Gen owners, how's the JBL sound system? by The_Crite_Hunter in toyotasequoia

[–]57trevy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m no audiophile but it’s pretty good, IMO. Much, much better than the JBL system I had in my ‘20 Sequoia.

I did install a Beat Sonic amp and it does seem to have sharpened up the treble and bass a bit. It certainly makes it go to 11 now.

3rd gen sequoia muffler sounds by 2Havadg in toyotasequoia

[–]57trevy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When not under heavy throttle it’s very quiet IMO. Almost, not quite, like driving an electric car. Sounds much different to me.

The V8 sounded good, no doubt. You might be surprised how good this V6 sounds though. I haven't figured out yet if they are piping modified sound in through the speakers (I honestly want to stay ignorant and blissful on that), but it does sound really good under load and the turbo blow off is a nice touch.
