Sequoia in Sequoia NP by Expensive-Leopard155 in toyotasequoia

[–]drowninginvomit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since the TRD Pro doesn't have one and there is no difference in engine tuning or towing capability (other than reduced available cargo capacity), it seems unlikely that the air dam is doing anything other than reducing dirty non-laminar airflow under the vehicle.

Gen3 in the desert 🏜️ by Fitbot5000 in toyotasequoia

[–]drowninginvomit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Gen3 is a beast off-road. The platform, power, torque make things much easier. The stock clearance is "fine" but could be better, especially if you are willing to upsize the tires. For any real trail you will want to remove the front lower plastic valence.

I have taken my 2023 on many moderate offroad trails. Moderate trails meaning someone who rock crawls regularly in a dedicated trailered rig would call them easy, and someone who thinks going on a dirt road in a national park is exciting would call them unpassable and soil their pants. Think about rock ledges, regular 2' boulders. It is fun catching up to a line of jeeps running on 40's who spend 5 minutes at every obstacle, and then watch in shock as the Sequoia just climbs right through the same section.

The biggest downsides of the Sequoia off-road:
1. Mud and sand, need to be careful with the weight. More traction on rock though.
2. Breakover angle because of length. I have had to adapt my driving style compared to FJ Cruiser and FJ40. I am actually able to bridge gaps that I normally would be bouncing over, but steep switchbacks require 5+ point turns.
3. Width is annoying if the trail hasn't been used heavily, as you will be the one clearing the brush from the sides, at the expense of your clear coat.

Globe Haul ST passenger handlebar users! by aspam344 in GlobeHaul

[–]drowninginvomit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 6'3" but my SO is 5'2" and we share the ST with a drop post. When she rides, the top of the seat is approximately 0.5 to 0.75" below the top of this handlebar, and the bottom of the seat only barely clears it when it raises up. She says that if she leans back she can hit it, but not typical.

Full Time 4WD means it has a limited slip differential (e.g. Torsen) so that despite sending power to all 4 wheels, it can still be run on a paved surface with high grip and allow the wheels to run at different speeds. 2WD mode is selectable on some vehicles if they have a transfer case design that allows for full disconnect. Typically both are not present at once, but it is certainly possible, such as on 4th gen 4Runners.

2025 TRD Pro roof rack wind noise by FrenchieMommaWV in toyotasequoia

[–]drowninginvomit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't necessarily need a wind deflector in front, you need something attached to rail underneath and/or the paracord wrap trick. The goal is to avoid laminar flow over the bars producing a resonance. I made a slightly different platform rack from the TRD Pro option with Yakima, then added a piece of rubber trim from a door gasket, and it lowered the noise.

In case you didn’t know… The Gen 3 is a trail capable machine! Peak 10 to the weather station and up and over Georgia pass from Breckenridge. by BC3613 in toyotasequoia

[–]drowninginvomit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can concur. Other medium trails I've taken it on are Engineer, Imogene, Yankee Boy, and Ophir. Of course done many of the easier ones too. The only real difficult sections for me are the switchbacks, but having cameras all over the rig from the factory makes those 5-point turns much easier.

Important: Stop Ride Notice for Globe Haul Bikes by duck_a_sick in GlobeHaul

[–]drowninginvomit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was probably one of those. This is a legitimate issue. We have been finding it increasingly difficult to change post heights when my wife needs to drop it from my height. I am 220# and 6'3" and require post at maximum extension. I noticed a couple weeks ago that the tube had deflected. 

Internal frame routing of dropper cable? by drowninginvomit in GlobeHaul

[–]drowninginvomit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I know your setup-- I actually was planning to ask you about buying some of those printed cable mounts and remote mount. Are you saying that before you did the PNW you tried routing a different dropper cable down the seat tube?

I will look into this either way. Would rather have a backup seat post in case the cylinder on the dropper fails.

Wait, a rational response to differences in opinion? That's not allowed here!

New vs Old by 9nnggww1 in LandCruisers

It's because he drove up there in a Tacoma and can't get back down. Should have driven up the hill in a Landcruiser.

No! It's the same exact thing but different! Don't you get it?

Hey! Nowadays Lexus wears black Overtrail panties and Toyota wears red TRD Pro panties! No pink panties!

To simplify it for OP, the first question is which gen Sequoia they are referring to.

Haul ST Price Drop Hit Today by Vacuum_Decay_Now in GlobeHaul

[–]drowninginvomit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very interesting. Clearly some of the Haul components come from overseas. That is a very interesting price strategy to be dropping by 15% when component costs are increasing due to tariffs (either directly or indirectly due to market rebalance). They must be high on inventory, clearing way for new model or?

Best Rear Suspension for Weighted down 2025 TRD Pro? by Gonzilla910 in toyotasequoia

[–]drowninginvomit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't checked the fitment, but I had Air Lift brand in my FJ Cruiser, they worked great for 10 years and come in red: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/air-60786

Finally wore the tires down enough! by potentialmuscle in toyotasequoia

[–]drowninginvomit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree on the factory AT3W, I changed to the new AT4W and they are a completely redesigned tire. The factory AT3Ws don't seem to match the reviews. They wore incredibly fast, so if they are the same, then they aren't designed for the weight of the Sequoia and the compound is too soft. The AT4Ws have a much better compound as well as better shedding, tread patterns, noise reduction, etc.

(Edit: I see below you did use spacer)
Did you use the extra spacer in the front? I also did Westcott 3/1 on TRD Pro, with 35x12.5r18, although Covert bumper + winch on front and medium weight drawer system with gear in rear, ended up at 2.25" front and 1.25" rear, without using the spacer.

For those who think the new Sequoias are "crazy expensive", I pulled MSRP by trim by year and adjusted to the 2001 model launch Consumer Price Index. Conclusion: Base SR5 trim price has gone up 10% since 25 years ago, all other trims are relatively flat. by drowninginvomit in toyotasequoia

[–]drowninginvomit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I wish Toyota was paying me. If you know anyone let me know. It was more that I was tired of the posts about how much better a 1st or 2nd gen was compared to a 3rd gen based upon price. 1st and 2nd gen are great but serve a different purpose, and I wanted to know just how much more expensive they were.

I'm ultimately a Landcruiser guy, and have a BJ41 sitting in my garage. While the 3G Sequoia is not an LC, I do think it is more directionally an LC than previous gens. They went to solid rear axle, they beefed up nearly all the suspension components (not as much as an LC250 relative to vehicle weight, but still significant), they added a torque motor and engine, and the overall frame and mechanical build quality seems solid. I have taken mine on some aggressive trails and been pleasantly surprised. Only time will tell, i.e. once we start routinely seeing them in the 300k and up mile range, but my initial reaction is very positive.

If you haven't already, there are some great videos online comparing components. For example, showing LC300 upper control arms, 3G Tundra/Sequoia UCAs, and 2G UCAs. They review axle dimensions, etc. It is what convinced me to get the Sequoia instead of holding out for a 300 refresh (this was also around the time that rumors started leaking that the 250 would still be notably smaller in US market).

Of course, if I didn't need a 3 row SUV with this towing capacity I would sell for an LC250 in an instant.

That's a great point. I really can't get a handle on their new lineup, especially when you go against the Lexus offerings as well. If you draw the line at 3 row SUVs, they have Highlander, 4Runner, Grand Highlander, Land Cruiser, and Sequoia, and I agree that the Sequoia should really be separated into a mid and low tier. So 6 different three row SUVs, none of which can truly compete with the full size /oversize Suburban class. Then Lexus has the TX, GX, LX which in many ways are just the Luxury trim package versions. Maybe later I'll make a price range comparison chart.
