The Land Cruiser. 200 series is the greatest vehicle of all time. No sugarcoating it. It is the most durable capable overengineered iconic legendary car ever made. The Sequoia is incredible. I see the value as the Land Cruiser. using round numbers is about $40,000 more than a Sequoia. And very true about the space the Sequoia is significantly bigger than Land Cruiser. on the inside. Great video thank you for posting
As a Sequoia owner who offroaded this rig, I have to attest to what is said here.. an underappreciated vehicle for offroading and surprisingly capable when you take it on the trails. Mine is a lot closer to stock form, except the bigger K02 tires... Planning to add rear lockers and a lift and a tune very shortly.
Awesome! Reach out to us and ask for Johnathan when ya do, I'll be happy to talk Sequoia with ya!
@@AngryLS1 I have a stock (for now) 2014 SR5, looking for slightly bigger tires. Would you mind sharing the size of KO2s your were able to fit without modification?
@@attilabereczky4963 I went up 2 sizes...
Confirmed:
275/60/20
And
275/65/20
The only thing, is that I had minor rubbing of the front wheels with the old fender liner, which I replaced both after losing one while offroading. The new ones are more sunk in, and I had no issue after replacing them with the 275/65/20.
I’m glad to see people are wheeling with these. I’m buying one tomorrow and looking forward to start digging in.
Keep up the great work, you are leading the way for the rest of us to build up these beasts!
Can’t wait to see the rear bumper second gen is been needing it for a very long time .you guys rock…..
I’m so in love with your Sequoia!! ❤️🔥
Johnathan and his Sequoia have helped me make up my mind on my next vehicle. Thanks for this video!
Good video and good info. That rig is a beast, and the rear bumper turned out great!
Looks great! I have the 2nd Gen Sequoia and almost complete with my Overland build. Things are coming along nicely. Love seeing these different builds
YES! We love our 2nd Gen Sequoia for offroading. This is a great build, wow! Thanks for all the details.
I have the 2021 Sequoia in Nightshade Blizzard Pearl. I'll add some videos soon. I am definitely loving your channel. Love Tandem Offroad. Great Stuff!
I bought 5.29's from you guys in December, wow what a difference! Going to check your bumpers out.
Nice man. You guys switched me over from an LC to a Sequoia. I had my mind made up. Almost snagged 3. Rust kept me from pulling the trigger. Then I saw your videos on the Tree and changed my mind. Now I am following in your foot steps with my Tree.
I love the Sequoia and I’m so glad to see someone throwing support to us tree huggers. You have a subscriber and a customer.
Trail Whale! 😂🤣 love the big tree coverage!
I've had my first gen Sequoia for 4 years and it's been a very confidence-inspiring vehicle. It's taken me everywhere I wanted to go in any weather or road condition without fault. At the same time, it has demonstrated superb mechanical dependability despite having 330k+ miles on it. With the LC going away, the best kept secret in off-roading will finally get out.
Got front and rear durobumps on my tundra...and was actually out to eat with the owner if durobumps the other night. Great product
I own a 2011 version and I’m at 210,000 miles. I also hiked over 200 miles on the PCT in Southern CA. Although I have not moded out my truck I did boondock in this truck for almost 6 weeks while hiking. I’ve been looking for mod videos. So thanks for the video.
YOU GUYS ARE IN HALTOM CITY?!?! I'm over in Southlake/Grapevine, I'll have to stop by and see this thing sometime. its HUGE
I re-geared my TJ to 4.88 gears and it was the best thing that I ever did...
awesome build! also thank you for Tandem Offroad for showing love to the 2nd gens. definitely giving us with big families options to wheel our vehicles. I recently purchased a 16 platinum. question is im wanting a mild off roader is it worth getting rid of the air bags in the rear or am i good for just adding the spacer you sell.
Woah! Haha that intro was funny. Glad I stumbled on your channel. Subbed!!
Excited to see the rear bumper. Been trying to find a shop to build custom for a while. Can't wait.
Man you into totally got me hocked!!! Made me laugh out loud and almost spilt my coffee 😂Instant sub to the channel. I'm thinking of getting a Sequoia and came across this.
We need a follow up to this video!! How has everything held up? Full walk around of the rear bumper. Detauled video of the front bumper.Are you still working on a long range fuel tank?
How have the rear springs held up with all of the added weight from the new rear bumper and other accessories? Did you have much sag?
I have a 16' sr5, family of five, bought it for this reason, camping and outdoors. Did tires and skid plates last year, doing dobinsons spring and shocks this year for about 2" of lift. These things are tanks, you can just feel it when you drive. Yes you can fit full 4x8 sheets in the back but even more impressive, is that you can fit them THROUGH the rear window, which is about 50" wide. The ability to run these sheets through the rear window WITHOUT having to take out all 3 child seats from the second row is literally the best thing about this truck for me. I just roll the window down, slide them in and run over the top of the second row. Had ten sheets of 5/8 ply that way once. 10 ft dining table, same thing, right through the window. You get tundra functionality in a 3 row full size suv, best of both worlds. Hate the fact that new sequoia did away with the roll down rear window, I don't think they realized how useful that was...
The new sequoia leaves a lot to be desired unfortunately. And the cargo space behind the 3rd row is unbelievably atrocious. I really think Toyota messed it up.
Hey Jonathan, beautiful rig! What wheels are you running and the specs?
Subscribed!! Look forward to sending you my money
loved the intro.. "theres only one problem..." hahaha
One thing I'm having trouble finding online, approx how much suspension travel is possible on these before you get into custom cv shafts and stuff? Fronts a little easier to get info cause tundra, but not much on rear. Thanks.
I've got a family of 6 and we go overlanding/offroad. We enjoy doing the BDR trails and took our 2023 Ascent to Utah and Moab last year, plus TONS of adventures throughout the cascade mountains.
I've been considering getting something a bit bigger considering our family size. So far the Ascent has been good, but we broke both rear axles recently and the CVT is showing signs of wear while we only have 30k miles on the vehicle.
What are your thoughts on a the 2020 Toyota Sequoia Limited for offroad/overlanding? Our Subaru Ascent has a winch, welded front recovery points, rock sliders, full skid plates, rear diff automatic locker and a swing-out hitch to carry a full size spare, plus we have a 2" front lift and 2.5" rear lift.
I found a local 2020 Sequoia Limited with 36k miles on it, listed for $57k...but my trade in is worth maybe $35k max...so there's a $20k difference there, plus I'd have to spend thousands more to upgrade the Sequoia.
Trying to find a vehicle that is big enough for my family (2 adults, 6 kids and our big dog) that can really offroad without worry of constantly breaking stuff or wearing out drivetrain parts.
Have you wheeled with the rear swaybar disconnected? If so, how was it? Do the CVs have enough travel for that to be safe?
How did you mount your radio antenna to the hood? Is that a plate with a magnetic base plate?
Just curious, Is it possible to have long travel in the front and rear?
Hey guys! Fantastic video, as was the "Build in 5 Days" video!
I'm considering selling my V8 4Runner and grabbing a 2G Sequoia for the same reasons - SPACE. Curious about your rear suspension on the Platinum... It's my understanding that all Platinums have the air bags in the back, I see that you swapped in springs. Is the rear bag system essentially the same as the 4Runner/GX? If not, is it difficult to remove - or, better yet, difficult to modify for on-board air?
Keep on rocking the build videos, those are my favorite!!
Sweet ty
I currently have a 2001 LC with 418K miles on it. It's getting long in the tooth and I'm considering the 1st gen and 2nd gen Sequoia as the replacement when the time comes. Since the 2nd gen is IRS, are there any reliability issues when doing hard off-roading? Would you have to upgrade the upper & lower control arms?
Loves sequoias. Owner of a 2012 platinum. Not selling before 350k.
Did you do a lift and changes rims and tires. Wondering because I have the same vehicle and need some guidance
I would like to put a front end from a 3rd gen Tundra on my 2nd gen Sequoia with a tube pre run style bumper. Can you help achieve my dream?
might've missed it, but what gear ratio and air or E locker?
Did you consider supercharging it?
Awesome content. Thanks for the walk around. Was the rear suspension converted from air to spring?
Yes, but its going back to airbags soon.
Is there a way to keep the air bags and lift it? I have a 2012 Platinum.
@@edaztec Tandem Offroad has developed a lift for our Platinum trim trucks. Just came out last week.
@@Screwfly1 Sweet!!! That's great. Can't wait to order some. I appreciate the reply 😎👍
Excuse the irrelevant comment, but how do these guys eat? Or drink.
In all seriousness, I've been looking into using a 2nd gen Sequoia for overlanding, and this has been helpful. I've got my JKUR wheeler, but I need a larger rig I can sleep in.
Save your money and get rid of the independent suspension, continue to wheel that way and you'll eventually go with solid axles. You can throw tons of money at the independent suspension, with minimal gains. I believe Offroad Hub did the 1-ton axles on his FJ cruiser
Wrong independent suspension ftw
Have you ever had fix the cam towers? They're known for leaking.
Where's the long range tank?
What about the rubicon trail?
What the wheels offset your got to fit 37 ?
I want one
50k miles is very impressive in 1 year.
50k miles in less than a year? When do you work?
Let's see.... Straight axle the rear and link it.... done deal.. even more capable!!!
I’m 6’1”…. I can sleep in my SQ without my head touching the front seats or the back gate while shut.
Had three SQs. 2001, 2010, 2015… looking for a used 2021-22.. don’t want the gen3
If you could have just one would you go gen 1 or 2?
Your mustache is something to be jealous of
I've just gone from a 01 sequoia to an 08 200...feels like a mistake
Any issues with the steering rack?
Nope, although I did almost taco a tie rod once! >.
Damn ! 50,000 mi in a year ?? That’s like 13,000$ in gas !!!
Long range tank please
The new sequoia trd pro is awesome but cost over 70k.
Would you get a 1vd swap?
yeah that would be awesome!
Where do I get the sliders?
Sorry the website is currently getting redone, Here is the link to the sliders shop.tandemoffroad.com/collections/tandem-swag/products/08-sequoia-weld-on-sliders-with-full-top-plate
Its more capable compared to a 4Runner because you have heavily modified Sequoia, just if you modify a 4Runner other than physical size its a very comparable off road vehicle.
Summary: we got drunk and high.....go Toyota!!!!!
I may be the few but I prefer the look of the 2nd gen over the land cruiser. Also, land cruiser is wayyyy overprice.
Those eyebrows though. Holy shit.
I mustache you a question 👨🏻🔧
lol Go ahead
@@TandemAutomotive where does the LS Jamboree take place?
@@jeffladd1146 In Gilmer Texas (Gilmer OHV Park) , Ya going to go? its a blast I tell you
@@TandemAutomotive 3,500 mile round trip from Boston? No problem, lol.
@@jeffladd1146 bruh that is just a Sunday drive 0.o
Plan on getting a Sequoia soon. Gen 1 is a deal but something tells me to go for a Gen 2. This video does not make it easy.
If you're still debating, The 4.7 in the 1st gen is bullet proof, but it's $3,000 or more to have a mechanic change the timing belt and water pump. The 2nd Gen has way more power, gets better mpg (barely), and has lower maintenance costs.
Thats a stout põrn mustache
Long range gas tank? Let me know ASAP!!,! I keep telling all the nay sayers these things are capable..
😎 they absolutely are!
Is that a real mustache?
yup!
Man that's impressive.
I bet that thing sips gas.
10-13mpg pending how late i am.
Is that with the oversized tires and extra weight of the bumper and suspension? Cua I am getting that right now bone stock on. 2012 Platinum
More pics of the rigs, less pics of yourself...😂
1st gen better but nice rig
That god damn snapping noise through the whole video!!!!!! What does he have in his hands making that noise? Burn that thing into nothing to please!
Lol!!!!!! It's a flash light I always have on me. Keeps my fingers busy as I struggle to sit still.... 🥹
I never realized they had IRS! Now I'm super interested. How often do you have to align it? I have a gen1 Tundra and the tow is constantly getting knocked out just from gravel and paved roads with occasional bumps 🤨
