TOYOTA SEQUOIA SWING OUT TIRE CARRIER
TOYOTA SEQUOIA SWING OUT TIRE CARRIER
SWING OUT TIRE CARRIER TOYOTA SEQUOIA. I DECIDED TO BUILD A TIRE CARRIER THAT WOULD WORK WITH MY EXISTING FACTORY BUMPER. NOT A NORMAL EASY THING TO DO BECAUSE THERE IS NO FRAME THERE TO SUPPORT THE SPINDLE FOR THE HINDGE SO THE FABING BEGINS.
DRILLED SOME ONE INCH PILOT HOLES THEN USED A HOLE SAW TO GET CLOSE TO THE SIZE IS NEEDED TO INSTALL SPINDLE 
STILL WOULDN’T FIT SO I USED THE DIE GRINDER TO FINISH OFF THE HOLE AND IT POPPED RIGHT IN.
PURCHASED THE A-Z FABRICATION HEAVY DUTY SPINDLE FOR THIS APPLICATION 
I ENDED UP CUTTING SOME THE BOTTOM AWAY CAUSE IT WAS HITTING THE INSIDE OF THE BUMPER AND I FIGURED IT WOULD GIVE ME A LOWER SPOT TO WELD TOGETHER.
CUT A PIECE FOR THE LOWER PART OF THE TIRE CARRIER AND I NOTCHED THE END SO IT WOULD FIT BETTER.
NOTCHED THE BUMPER AND INSTALLED IT TO SEE HOW IT WOULD LOOK TRIAL FIT.
CUT A SUPPORT BRACE FOR THE WHEEL AND TIRE. I WASNT SURE HOW TALL TO MAKE IT SO I LEFT IT TO STICK OUT ON THE TOP TELL I DECIDE IF I WANT TO MOUNT ANYTHING ELSE ON TOP OF THE SWING OUT TIRE CARRIER.
SO FAR I THINK ITS LOOKING GOOD AND ITS ALL MOCKED UP BUT I HAVE NOT FINISHED THE WELDING YET IN CASE I WANT TO MAKE A FEW CHANGES. I ORDERD A SCEPTER FUEL AND WATER CAN BUT THEY HAVE NOT ARIVED YET.
IM STILL WORKING ON THE LATCH AND CATCH . BUT I DID GO AHEAD AND MAKE A LICENSE PLATE HOLDER. I DROVE THE TRUCK AROUND FOR A FEW DAYS WHEN I NOTICED YOU COULDN’T SEE THE PLATE MOUNTED UNDER THE TIRE.

SCEPTER FUEL AND WATER CONTAINERS AND HI LIFT JACK.
HERE ARE A FEW PICS MY WIFE TOOK WHEN WE WENT TO COW MOUNTAIN TO TRY THE SEQUOIA OUT.
I WOULDNT HAVE THOUGHT THE SPARE TIRE AND CAN MOUNT COULD DRAG ON THE GROUND. I GAVE IT LIKE 3 FT CLEARANCE.
TOYOTA SEQUOIA UNWANTED WOOD TRIM
2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA WOOD TRIM REMOVAL
TOYOTA SEQUOIA UNWANTED WOOD TRIM REMOVAL. I FIRST PRICED THE NEW PARTS FROM TOYOTA AND FOUND IT TO NOT BE COST EFFICIENT I COULDN’T BELIEVE HOW EASY IT WAS TO REMOVE. I WAS GOING TO PULL ALL THE PARTS AND PAINT THEM, TELL I FOUND OUT IT WAS REMOVABLE. THIS CONSISTED OF WAY LESS WORK WITHA BEAUTIFUL OUTCOME. HERE IS A SHORT VIDEO
IT CAME OUT SUPER CLEAN CHECK OUT THE FINISHED PRODUCT. IT LOOKS LIKE HAMMERED STEEL
AFTER I DID THE DOORS I THOUGHT THERE IS NO WAY THE RADIO SURROUND IS THE SAME WAY. LOW AND BEHOLD IT REMOVED IN THE SAME WAY.
OUT OF ALL THE PIECES IN THE TRUCK THE RADIO AND CENTER CONSOLE WERE THE TWO I DISLIKED THE MOST. AFTER REMOVING THEM I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED HOW MUCH MORE I LIKED THE INTERIOR. SUPER SUBTLE AND A WAY BETTER LOOK.
2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA LIMITED 3 INCH BODY LIFT
Toyota Sequoia 3in Body Lift
AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET TO THE NEAR VERY END I DECIDED TO LIFT MY 2002 TOYOTA SEQUOIA LIMITED. I WANTED TO INSTALL THE BILSTEIN 5100 BUT THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER SO I USED THE PROCOMP STRUT SPACER AND OME EMU REAR SPRING FOR A 3 IN LIFT ALL THE WAY AROUND. I STILL WANTED TO GO HIGHER SO I DECIDED TO MAKE MY OWN 3 INCH BODY LIFT. I WILL BE PUTTING TOGETHER SOME BODY LIFT KITS IN THE NEXT MONTH IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED. A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THESE ARE GROCERY GETTERS OR MALL RIGS. IM GOING TO TRY TO MAKE THIS A NICE RIG. I WANTED TO BUILD A VEHICLE THAT ARE NOT MODIFIED A LOT. I DONT WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE A SOCCER MOM TRUCK. SHOOT ME A EMAIL IF YOU LIKE.
