[@skipgumphrey9579]

Can’t wait for mine to get here :)

[@elms1319]

Nice job 💯

[@thatcarguy1UZ]

This is great! Where was this video before I ordered a replacement handle? 😅 Regardless I think I will do it anyway and see if I can mount the handle inside and use it with the cable for an interior release.

[@wayne93094]

Great video man It's a shame that Toyota did not recall this bad design I've had to replace the handle latch twice and right now it won't open unless it's 70ﾟ outside Because it's bent.

[@trevorklinker4896]

Hi, any chance you're still selling the kit you mentioned for the cable-pull release for the rear hatch? Thanks!!

[@wesfields9322]

You should put the link in the comments if you want people to easily get to it.

[@aireddownadventures8173]

It actually is in the comments. Looks like it just got lost in the sea of comments. Just pinned it so it lives at the top. Thanks for the heads-up!

Where do I get said handle???

[@Art-yd7ms]

Is the factory handle still able to be used simultaneously with this mod? Thank you

[@aireddownadventures8173]

It can, you'll just have to wedge the cable in between the bypass handle and the latch mechanism but it's designed to bypass the factory handle and cable in general

[@lorettajayne3552]

Hello. Do you have the kit available for purchase? Bob

[@arturogutierrez4427]

Whete can i buy tht part pls

[@stephenavila5027]

With no cable, are you still able to open from the inside of the vehicle? @aireddown Adventures

[@aireddownadventures8173]

You can still route the cable into the vehicle if you're wanting to open it from the inside. I have another video on my channel where I routed a cable into the vehicle with the bypass handle installed and both work flawlessly.

[@stevengreen2669]

looks simple enough, but my question is what about the dust that gets in the locking slot, which is the real reason the handle breaks in the first place? I noticed you heve stopped using both dust covers. All it takes is about 10 miles down a dirt road and the lock will get covered in dust and will not unlock. I have replaced the whole thing atleast three times. Have you had this problem?

[@aireddownadventures8173]

You can modify the cover to make a tiny slit so the handle can move. Which isnt any bigger than the stricker hole is it self. I haven't have any issues with them off. It's been a year and living in Arizona and off roading weekly is been great, I just spray the internals with white lithium grease once a month. Replaced the lock actuator and the latch mechanism(due to being worn out and rattling) once in the 2 years of ownership. Actuator is about 2 years old and is still doing great.

[@stevengreen2669]

@@aireddownadventures8173 I'll try the lithium grease. I'm in Arizona also, I'm looking for other sequoia offroaders to bounce ideas off of, or maybe hit a trail.
