Rig Walkaround | How to build a 2018 Toyota Sequoia Platinum Overland Build (2G Second Generation)

[@Painfulwhale360]

I like your setup. I'm looking at a 2015 Sequoia Platinum 4x4 from a private sale. Has 58k on it and they are asking $39,999 for it and it seems to be in really good condition. I too like the more minimalist look and don't want it to be too crazy. Thanks for the video!

[@OverlandCommand]

Thanks for the comments! You will love the Sequoia!

[@4xlanding272]

Getting my Jeep a sequoia for a companion tomorrow. Thanks for the video, you have given me some great ideas

[@johnnyrobby1]

This is incredible! I've been looking for a Platinum with the outfitting! I definitely want to do this next summer!

[@OverlandCommand]

Go for it! I love mine!

[@apleparulo3958]

Those tires wouldn't fit on the stock 20" rim but fit on the Fuel 20" rim?

[@OverlandCommand]

They fit the stock rim, but the tires rubbed on the vehicle. I needed to get wheels that offset them out farther so they wouldnt rub.

[@apleparulo3958]

@@OverlandCommandDid you go with the Cooper AT3 4S? Also, do you surmise the rubbing issue was due to the increased width or height of the tire vs stock? I'm thinking of using a 275/60/20 which is the same height as yours but the stock width. I have no lift in my 2016 Platinum, so I'm wondering if I may encounter the rubbing issue that you did. Thanks.

[@OverlandCommand]

@@apleparulo3958 I dont recall without going to look which AT3 they are. The rubbing was the width - on stock rims, they contacted the frame and suspension at full lock. The new wheels moved them out and stopped the rubbing.

[@OverlandCommand]

@@apleparulo3958 The increased width caused it to rub the frame, and the offset of the new wheels solved it.

[@apleparulo3958]

Did you put skid plates on?

[@OverlandCommand]

No, I didn't feel they were necessary for the kind of driving I do.

[@jairozhu941]

What chip did you add to add fuel economy?

[@OverlandCommand]

Chip My Truck

[@victorsoto4888]

🤣🤣🤣 that doesn't work. Don't waste your money on placebos

[@dustinbond]

How does lifting impact the auto leveler when towing? I have a 17 platinum and tow camper near weight spec limits, any insight? Any direct impact to ride selection (sport, neutral, comfort)? Thx, Dustin

[@OverlandCommand]

It keeps working just like always, lifting the rear to the highest position (where it already is). So it works, but it is less noticeable. Shouldnt affect your towing. The ride selection works like normal - no impact.

[@dustinbond]

@@OverlandCommand thanks!

[@motorcyclegordy2078]

Hi. Great video! In the description for the video it says platinum, in the video you keep calling it a limited. I am looking at purchasing a platinum and just want to confirm that yours is a platinum? I’m pretty sure I saw a platinum in the video

[@studiolensa]

Its a Platinum. Saying Limited was a... mistake....

[@amgeezy_2709]

You had to get aftermarket wheels to fit 33’s or to fit 33’s wider than stock?

[@OverlandCommand]

I wanted to go wider than stock. These are 305. They rubbed on the stock wheels. A 285/295 might have fit - not sure.

[@amgeezy_2709]

Overland Command good info. Thanks. Might be looking to build a Sequoia.

[@redsand848evo]

I think you're the first person ever to call the 5.7 "efficient"

[@OverlandCommand]

LOL maybe I should have said: "efficient for a 5.7L monster."

[@marshmellow3110]

I tried lifting our Platinum but was told the air ride sensor was in the way and couldn’t be moved. Wondering what the work around is. Thank you

[@OverlandCommand]

The rear lift is to set the air ride to its highest. Anything else will disable the air height ability.

[@marshmellow3110]

@@OverlandCommand But you were able to put a spacer on the front no problem?

[@OverlandCommand]

@@marshmellow3110 Yes - the Revtek spacer lift is the one to use.

[@marshmellow3110]

@@OverlandCommand sorry to bother you again, but how do you get it to stay in the highest setting on the rear? As soon as I go over the 10-15mph mark it automatically drops back down to the normal ride height.

[@OverlandCommand]

@@marshmellow3110 You adjust the sensor under the car. When you tighten it, you have told the car the new "normal" height.

[@ryanmault1]

what steps did you follow to raise the air suspension in the back?

[@OverlandCommand]

Adjust the leveling adjusters in front of the real suspension. Loosen the nut, push the arm all the way to the top, and retighten the nut. By the time you crawl back out, its lifted up.

[@Punkk1980]

Nice rig! I like the minimalist approach as well. I like the ride of our sequoia. I just sold the 4runner for a larger family vehicle and couldn't afford a Land Cruiser ha ha!. We got the platinum as well. We just took her out to our remote property and almost made it being bone stock. I Definitely need the 33's and lift. Have you had any rubbing during hard articulation with the 33's? Also do you know what offset is on your wheels?

[@OverlandCommand]

Thanks! I love the Sequoia. 33 is just right for the tires. I have had no rubbing with a 2" lift. I think the offset was 15. NOt sure - but its on the sites with Fuel wheels.

[@amgeezy_2709]

So you know what you have for backspacing on the wheels?

[@OverlandCommand]

13 or 20 maybe? I knew but I forget. You can check it on the Fuel wheels site, though.

[@danieladams6066]

just bought a 2008 yesterday!

[@OverlandCommand]

COngrats!

[@adam10532]

Great vehicle and video....I am considering buying a Sequoia like this my question is do you find yourself getting stuck more often without a rear differential locker? or is this configuration enough to get you out of most trouble spots?

[@OverlandCommand]

This is a very capable system. I was on a trip where we had water crossings, mud, and deep sand. We stuck a full-size pick up and two jeeps. I never even had wheel spin. I’m really satisfied with the way their 4 x 4 works.

[@brandonjohnson3120]

Did you do a diff drop or UCAs?

[@OverlandCommand]

NO, its really not necessary for a 2" lift

[@prandomable]

anything 3" or over in front is definitely recommended.

[@markmiguel3350]

Curious how's the revtek ride at this point?

[@OverlandCommand]

No change. The truck rides and drives like stock, with extra traction from better tires. You can always feel a little difference when the CG is raised, but its minimal.

[@robertskillings864]

Looks awesome! So where do I get that performance chip, thank you

[@robertskillings864]

Sorry found it from the comments, but which chip did you buy for MPG. There are 3

[@OverlandCommand]

@@robertskillings864 They only had 1 grade when I bought it. As I recall it matched the Medium grade.

[@danrichey1511]

Did you do anything to the rear air suspension

[@OverlandCommand]

No, I just adjusted it to the highest position for normal level ride.

[@danrichey1511]

@@OverlandCommand meaning you slid the height sensor arm? Aka tricked it? How does it ride in the new normal?

[@OverlandCommand]

@@danrichey1511 Thats correct. It just adjusts the ride height to level - thats what it is for. It rides the same as always.

I saw you're from around long island too, recognized the LIE lol. Where abouts do you go for off-roading/overlanding that's reasonably close to long island? I've only been on the outerbeaches but would love to try out some actual off-roading.

[@OverlandCommand]

Look up public lands upstate. Plenty of room!
