A deep dive into my budget 2006 Sequoia build. This is three years worth of research and refinement. These trucks are finally starting to get the respect they deserve.
I paid full price for everything in this video. If I recommend a company it's because I had a positive experience with them.

The Rocky Road Outfitters rock sliders have failed me. They were great until I actually put them to work sliding on rocks. They bent upwards and now I can barely open my doors. The worst part is that Rocky Road will not honor their lifetime guarantee. I've been in phone and email communication with them since Nov 12 2022, and they have yet to offer a solution. If you want nice looking sidesteps they are fine, but if you want sliders make sure you go with a weld-on product.

[@robinhoodie8999]

I gotta say it’s a crazy coincidence I’m watching this video again and your update on the rock sliders came up. Regardless your a man of your word and thanks for letting others know as I was actually curious about them and if they would actually hold up. But with that said is there any other brand/company you recommend? Or is it just best to fabricate your own.

@@rmracer527 Thank you bro! The quick-disconnect sway bar links work great for a few months but the ball joints ultimately bend and distort just enough to make them difficult to remove by hand (which was the whole point). They also get a little clunky and start chattering as they wear out. I realize now why they have bushings on them from the factory. Still running them but working on a more durable design.

TO TREEHOUSE OVERLAND: I really enjoyed your video, learned a lot about the Sequoia as you modified it. Good video production, good narration, good views using your camera, nice pacing, good content tips, etc. I am also impressed by your total Overlanding rig (as shown in still photos showing the tent, awning, etc.). And, while I enjoyed the technical stuff, I was also impressed (pleased) to see a bunch of kids enjoying the camping adventures your family are taking. I love to camp too, did so in a similar tent with my parents when i was a boy, and think its great when a family does it together. Good job sir! I liked the video and your presentation so much I subscribed and hope to learn more from you. I don't own a Sequoia yet, but hope to in a year or two.

[@treehouseoffroad]

Yes some of my best childhood memories are of camping with my family. My kids really love the rooftop tent (as much of a pain in the ass it is to setup/teardown) so I figure we better use it before they're too big to sleep up there! Thanks for your kind words.

[@sqeekms6186]

With the total chaos long travel kit it eliminates the so I don't have a sway bar now. And it still handles amazingly. I kept breaking those links every time I would go off road. And I believe it does give you a little more travel articulation. I got the metal pick stringers lower control arms for the rear. This is the third time I've watched this video. Lol You did an amazing job.

[@sqeekms6186]

Wow. This is a properly built truck. I love all your high quality custom fabrication and the excellent detail in this video. I just bought an 05 Sequoia limited 4x4 with 179k miles for $8500. One colorado owner and very well maintained. I am very familiar with 4runners, but the 1st gen Sequoia/Tundra world is less familiar to me. Ive been researching suspension options for quite a while now. Im planning on building a very basic overland/camping truck with no added weight. I'll be driving off road in the rockies a lot, but no crazy rock crawling. So I really only want like 1.5" lift, as i dont need more and want to maintain good road manners. Im consudering a bunch of options right now. Dobinsons twin tubes, Dobinsons IMS, Bilstein 6112, Eibach pro lift, Fox 2.0, OME. I really don't know what to go with. I tend to like a softer more floaty ride in a truck over stiff or "sporty". My biggest concern is small bump compliance at slow speeds, mainly rocks and washboards, as that will make up the majority of my off road driving. No crazy crawling, no hugh speed desert stuff, no jumping the 6000lb sequoia. 🤯 I moslty want something that isnt teeth shattering on washboards. Ive read that Fox is probably the best for that as a progressive valved shock. But i dont want something that needs to be pulled off the truck and rebuilt roughly every 50k miles either. Not sure what to do for suspension

Very nice!

[@treehouseoffroad]

Thanks!

[@elitrinh8436]

Helpful videos. I run into you when I was camping at Pismo 🤙🏼. I’m going to have to get an exhaust now.. gotta let that v8 sing since they are dying off slowly

[@treehouseoffroad]

Hell yeah I always stop and chat with the Toyota / Lexus truck guys. Man your dirtbike heaven video is sick. Much respect for keeping that spot a secret even though I'd love to know where it is

[@phslion]

Love your videos. ITs amazing there is so little offroad knowlage community for the Sequoia. But anyway you should do a video about tires size. Discuss what youve run, pros and cons. And recommendations for other sequioia owners.

[@steadmanuhlich6734]

I agree on all points.

[@treehouseoffroad]

Yes, very little info out there on these trucks, part of the reason I started my channel. With most of the Landcruisers and 4runners having over 300k miles and/or priced through the roof, I foresee a surge in people buying the Sequoia/Tundra to build out. Tire size video isn't a bad idea at all thanks

[@theloopstudioscctx]

Basically you and Josh at 1st gen off-road are making the best most helpful content for Tree owners! I have a ‘06 2wd limited that’s awesome but in the hunt for a 4WD…

[@treehouseoffroad]

@@theloopstudioscctx Absolutely, Josh's 1stgenoffroad channel was very helpful in the beginning stages of this build, thanks for the love!

[@keefgtp]

There's a ton of good info in this video, thanks! I'm just starting my Sequoia build now. Nothing too serious but I would like 35s eventually. Step by step. Interesting insights on the poly control arm bushings although I'm wondering how quickly they'll wear out with all that movement.

[@treehouseoffroad]

Cool man hope it helps you with your build! I can't say enough good things about the poly bushings. Mine never wore out and never squeaked.

[@sqeekms6186]

Holy crap man I didn't realize I wasn't subscribe to you after a year of watching you. wtf. I corrected that though now I am

[@treehouseoffroad]

No worries that's happened to me a bunch. I almost think KZbin unsubscribes me from channels. Sometimes new videos from channels I consistently watch don't even show up in my feed which is kinda f'd up

[@kamikaze4vida]

Thx!

Ill buy ur gobi ladder!!!! Im in SLO! Also sweet rig btw. All the bells n whistles but super clean and neat. Def inspired, keep it up.

[@treehouseoffroad]

Haha as soon as my wife saw the video and heard that ladder for sale thing she claimed it! She's got an 03. That's cool do you live in SLO?

[@gabrap4651]

@@treehouseoffroad ya, im going to school here.

[@whatcanilearnhere9158]

great vid! my sequoia is first most budget, then daily drive, next work, least important is real off road. just for fun i bungee corded a big pc 1800 odyssey battery right on top of the motor and i think that probably gets to hot. for my work i really need some extra juice. if i need to i can grab my home made hitch basket costom made for skinny battery but that really reduces the depart.(without getting in the way of the door) battery placement has been a real challenge with the sequoia. i will continue tying new things. let us know if you figure it out.

[@treehouseoffroad]

Here's what I did to make space for an second battery: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJi5eZSjaMmtgc0si=vMJcUIzt02wYMuPX

Very cool contents on the Sequoia. I have a 06 and looking to build it similar to yours. Just subscribe!

[@treehouseoffroad]

Thanks man I appreciate it. My brother has a Tacoma, I've been trying to get him to build it out for years

[@sal35plus]

I honestly don't remember how I came across your video but I watched it in its entirety. I have a 1st Gen tree and am looking at the front and rear bumpers you have. I'll have to check out your other videos. Sub'd

[@treehouseoffroad]

Right on man thank you

[@mrdcaliyo57]

thank you for your video, I really enjoyed it and it was very informative. if you can you make an up date on your Sequoia. My name is Mike and my Sons and I watched your video and they are learning from you. From the Island of "GUAM" we are Pacific Islander.

[@treehouseoffroad]

Dang Guam??? That's awesome! Updated build video is coming soon, a whole lot has changed on this truck. Thanks for commenting Mike
