[@atlasoverlandrecovery]

Love how neat and minimal you made the Sequoia build. so clean.

[@cesarurb]

Sequoia… my cream car! I’ll enjoy all the steps of build this vehicle and all the great trips! Thanks you for sharing!

[@cesarurb]

@Expeditionoverland2 not true

[@ivanmoranga8798]

😃😃😃 Am from Kenya & i already luv this channel feeling inspired by the Naming of the car & watching the rebuild

[@AF_Gulfstream]

That Sequoia accent on the rear bumper. **chefs kiss**

[@MegaRetr]

Looks awesome!

[@odgc8]

Looks awesome! Just picked up our Capstone the other day and we're loving it.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Right on! Enjoy!

[@leyashzurc3184]

Great Discovering this Expedition Overland i've watched some of the videos and it's all awesome it feels like travelling with them Great Journeys Keep Safe Guys

[@Muddasir_Iqbal]

Very Nice! Good job guys ❤ I own TRDPro 2023 in white so thinking to get it upgraded 😊.

[@chrismerced4511]

What are your thoughts on full aluminum bumpers on an overland build? I'm in between on the choice between aluminum and steel and I know you all have run aluminum on a few rigs so would you recommend it over steel or no?

[@ruggedindsoup2135]

Absolutely love this build. Looks amazing and quite the transformation from how it started. Personally, I would like to see the spare tire carrier a little more tucked in and maybe a horizontal traction board mount. But overall, WOW!

[@tonyanderson191]

You should have named it"general Sherman" because it's a sequoia!

[@markouellette788]

Another incredible build! I was wondering the wrap does it last forever? Is it self healing and hydrophobic? Thanks 😊

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it.

[@bobfarrell6510]

Very neat installations

[@hamzamberu6207]

that's right 'Simba' Swahili for Lion... A roaring choice!

[@PerthSnaps]

you guys need to get your hands onto some EGON DC Hubs!

[@jad19851]

Clean install in the electric!

[@coling4107]

I love the build so far. My question I have is what trailer did you use to move the RTT to the hanger. My wife and I are looking for a simple trailer and we both said that's it when we saw it. Thanks in advance.

[@roberthanna5497]

How is the 3.31 axle ratio handling the 35 inch tires? Are you guys thinking of doing a re-gear to something higher?

[@jdcoverland365]

I have seen LOTS of Reliable carriers trucks hauling vehicles up to Thompson, Manitoba Canada for Winter testing.

[@techboss202]

Wrap looks so clean!

[@erikcele1604]

Well done! 🎉

[@scottclukey2424]

QUESTION: What type of materal did you use for backing plate by the battery area ?

[@southwestoffroad]

As a Jeep guy I must admit this looks great. May have to look into this for Overlanding.

[@VE1PS]

What is the material (plastic) used for the back plate? Lexan? HDPE?

[@Ajs3371]

I hope someone answers this!

[@kikofranciscomedia]

Have you found out what plastic is it?

[@b3vo]

I would love one of these here in Australia. The Sequoia overall is an awesome car

[@LouSassles]

I’d love the Hilux in the US again

[@GPDIY]

Great job, that looks awesome!

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

Awesome build!

[@batyr1787]

Great job!

[@garretlewis4103]

Looking good. What was the material you used to made the mounting plate/base for all of the electrical items?

[@Jake-et3po]

Looking for the same answer. I'm assuming its a HDPE panel.

[@garretlewis4103]

@@Jake-et3po Hopefully someone will let us know. I am looking at deleting the rear seat in my Colorado. I had thought about using plywood with bed liner; however, it something like this is strong a durable enough, it would be a good solution. Hopefully someone from XO will read these and comment. 🤞

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Hey there! We used high density polyurethane that is 1/2” thick

[@garretlewis4103]

@@ExpeditionOverland Thanks for the information.

[@vincomens]

Nice job 👍🏽

[@ChasingYourAdventure]

Yall need to build a first gen Sequoia! Maybe rebuild mine!

[@papabrown3919]

13:58 He had to have been searching for a 10mm

[@swatnet856]

I'm glad you guys are redoing the all new Sequoia, it has so many dang problems, I need you to do mine too LOL😂

[@HebrewNomadOverlander]

So why in the heck can no one make a rear and front bumper for the 2nd gen sequoia?

[@maxospreys2964]

Man, I speak Swahili, and I can attest that you choose the right name. Simba is the King of The Jungle.

[@allanblack8635]

What's the benefit to wrapping off road builds? I feel like when you damage it, its just a bigger pain to fix? And quicker degradation over time. Explain! :P

[@chrissolomon8868]

Hope this vehicle is totally overland worthy...though looks macho

[@fishtacoma]

Whoo, first!

[@matthewg.5940]

Big Seqsi. Name done.

[@haidercoversynthpianomusic747]

Good video... nice...suv....

[@TheKmkmchannel]

Alu cab rtt? never see this!

[@jacob-alexander-83]

What kind of trailer is that?

[@FONTJA]

What material was used to mound the bus bars and fuse blocks? @xoverland

[@ExpeditionOverland]

High density polyurethane. 1/2” thick!

[@princeofuae1]

Great work, but WTF is going with benny at 8:30

[@Christian76S]

What type of Alu-Cab RTT is this? Couldn't find it on their website.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Alu-Cab Gen 3-R!

[@Christian76S]

@@ExpeditionOverland Looks kinda different on their website, that’s why I was wondering. Thanks! www.alu-cab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/5.jpg

[@ExpeditionOverland]

@@Christian76S this is the smaller version! We have put the full size 3-R on since.

[@Christian76S]

@@ExpeditionOverland Ah, I see. Last question: what the name of the smaller version shown in your vid?

[@Christian76S]

@Haley Tumsuden l Love it, depending on the width might be exactly what I‘m looking for. Hope it becomes commercial!

[@coloryan8216]

Texas plates?

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Not for long!

[@wm7785]

I have a question? How come you do not use go fast tens….?? That are made in Bozeman? To me they’re top notch in quality.

[@hunter_pauley]

They had one on Raven the Tacoma but they are sponsored by alucab so GFC is a direct competitor.

[@BlueBox777]

Should I buy a TRD Pro?

[@BaconCruiser]

Only if you plan on keeping it stock or doing a preload lift e.g. Westcott Designs. If you plan on adding your own suspension you’re better off getting a SR5 or Limited trim with the TRD off road package, that way you get the rear locker and Crawl Control and you can use the savings towards a set of Kings/Fox/Icon and some new UCAs.

[@BlueBox777]

@@BaconCruiser that's what I was thinking too.

[@OffRoadDiscovery]

Writing down the things I'd like to do to our Sequoia next...maybe I should stop watching...haha

[@ellideraltolinage9774]

Hola quiero trabajar con ustedes

[@phlfly10]

People are watching these videos and thinking let me do same. But they are not all understand us vs company with sponsors. I know thru my skin how much cost each small thingy to your truck. just wheels like - 3k plus 600 to fit into the wheel well, lift like 2 K plus 2 K to install, bumpers 3K plus 1 K for the installation, skids plate 2 K plus about 1 k to install, wrap - 3K and , lie tailgate plate 600 - a very expensive hobby. But lie initial investmarn was 10 K - RTT, drawers, roof rack, overbed cross bars, water 10 gallons, kitchen. I'm ok with all these videos but not not ok with they don't say about cost, jus trying help to sell this idea - overloading w/o cost mentioned.

[@joshe1165]

These are not videos about cost but what can be done, if you can't afford and want to complain about how much they cost then don't watch it...we all know how much these builds are and there are plenty of us that can afford them...if you want to watch budget build videos there are tons of those out there too...remember, this is also there business, they get paid for the ads, sponsors, builds, prototypes, etc.

[@phlfly10]

@Josh E I know it's not but my point is any build overland truck looks awesome from viewer point as brings actually more views than actual overland video. That is amazing phenomenon of KZbin videos reality. So they do making money on each click so they should share a cost of build as well.

[@chief1193]

So, Toyota got rid of the Land Cruiser because of low “sales” and the reason was because they were 86k MSRP. Two years later they redo the Sequoia and price it literally the same price, and it’s not half the vehicle the Land Cruiser is🤷🏼‍♂️. Seems like there is a lot more to it, no matter what you slap on that truck, it will never be a Land Cruiser!

[@kwhite1229]

sorry but i'd rather a gq patrol then any of those :D

[@joshe1165]

we don't get those in the States 🤣

[@breadbox777]

Swahili meaning they're going to africa next?!

[@andyham6094]

Almost every sequoia bought from KZbinrs are basically all white for everybody for some reason. Haha. Runnin4tacos are the only channel that I follow that don’t have a white one. All the other channels I follow who bought sequoias for their personal vehicle/content for their channel are all white.

[@DarkKnight-bi7cr]

Show the damn truck properly
