The simplest way to avoid replacing the rear hatch handle is to keep the latch mechanism well lubricated. You can access it via the bottom of the hatch. Do it twice a year and the handle actuation feels smooth as glass.
Also don't raise the hatch by the handle. Best to pop the hatch open and lift from the bottom
Thankyou!
this was educational for me as some of the mention was things others never was educated. yaw sensor never knew it was connected to vsc as well as lubricating the latch to avoid replacement . collective knowledge is a bridge.i wish toyota explained more of there engineering . atrac is something that needs taught to effectively opperate. keep teaching brother.!
I just bypassed that rear handle. I attached a firm wire to the mechanism at the bottom of the door. Just pull it to the left, it opens. Best thing I ever did. Reply if you want me tell you in detail
I put 2 decent zip ties around that part. So if one breaks I have another
Thanks for the video
2001 sr5...My Vtrac/VCS lights and brake light come on for no reason depending on if I hit a bump or if it's cold. DTE is spot on and I've never had any fuel gage issues. My metal handle is amazing. Otherwise never a single issue!
Love the bumpers! I want those on my 2003
Lots of good info thanks. There’s a new way of not having to deal with the rear door latch. A bit of fabrication to the actual latch to open from the bottom of the rear gate. You should look into it.
Looking forward to that VSC recalibration video
Solid video. Thank you. My brake light does come on randomly as well.
Thanks! After I finished recording everything, I wished I would have talked about the factory speakers disintegrating but oh well! Thanks for watching!
@@isaacspoon good one. The stereo and speakers were the first things I replaced. I’m going to have to do the antenna mod.
Great video. My brake lighr comes on rarely only after coming down alot of steep downhill with passengers. Goes away after a few minutes of level driving.
04 Squoia SR5 2wd. 191,000 miles. Original owner.
-ebrake light comes on whenever it feels like it, usually when the weather is over 80f, after 10-15 minutes of driving. sometimes disappears for months. started over 100k.
-the gas door fix will be needed every few years. easy fix
-replaces the antenna with a fixed flexible rubber antenna from ebay without removing anything from under the fender.
-21.3mpg on highway driving 65-70mph.
-around 10mpg in the city, stop and go traffic. A gallon of gas is around $6 here in Los Angeles ...
Love the content! Thanks
thanks for watching!
My brake light started coming on periodically after 70,000 miles..you are right...just turn car off and start up again and it's gone. Also the ticking sound from the split in manifold is common. Welding it costs about $40 ,vs. Replacement.
That ticking noise is a wire connected to the firewall under the hood passenger side. Detach it and connect on a bolt near by. Ticking gone I promise
oooooo the front and rear bumper !!!!!!!!!
Stunning beast
I appreciate it! Been working on it slowly but surely!
Great info. Thanks. Which year is your Sequoia?
Thanks for the tips - just bought an 05 sequoia limited, and was wondering if I could replace the side mirror assemblies that don't have that power assistance.
Did your sequoia have a DVD player installed? I have a DVD player in the center console that I want to remove and get some space back.
Loved the info! Do you have the video link for the fixed antenna?
If you don't want to cut the mirror wires on your malfunctioning mirrors, you can just replace your switches with salvage yard switch from a model that doesn't have the folding mirror icon. It's worlds cheaper than a new replacement and you won't have to rewire anything or explain anything to a buyer.
I’ve noticed that my brake light came on when my fluid was a little low. And went out when I added fluid to the reservoir.
Hello, thank you for your tips and frustrations very helpful. Question, what make model of stereo do you have?
Alpine halo 9
The brake issue is resolved by changing the brake light switch behind the brake pedal . it gets sluggish with time and it doesn’t send the signal to the ECM fast enough causing the light to trigger
how hard is it to replace? any tutorials ? thx
Did this really fix it? Do you have a part number?
@@fxvsdx35
It’s behind the brake pedal . It’s round with four wire white connector . a little tricky but not too bad .
@@hereusethis
I posted the part number with details . I don’t know who deleted my post . Hopefully it’s not you . I did my part

Where and how did you install the rear sway bar? I have alot of body roll from the back after my 2.5 inch lift.
My sequoia makes a loud clucking sound when I come off a stop and it also seems like I lose power when I come to a hard stop what's going on?
where you both the front and back bumper?
What radio head unit are you using on your Sequoia?
Thanks for the video, I have 03 sequoia. 2.5 lift both front and rear. Where did you buy from the front and rear bumper. I'm planning to do the same setup. Thank you
Rear bumper is a brute force Fab dual swingout bumper. And the front bumper is one I modified from an LC100 series ironman4x4 bumper. I have install videos of both front and rear bumpers on the channel
Where did you get your steel bumpers from?
did you use spacer on the wheels?
paint the seat hole filler?
Great video. I didn’t see where you found the 6 switch panel that you got. Would you be able to send me a link?
Sure, are you on any of the Fb off-road sequoia groups? If not send me your email
My 2001 sequoia, start on on , can go in reverse but if i go back to park die and start right back by it self , basically die on some gears and restarting by it self, anybody what could that be?
Is your oem front bumper for sale?
Both Toyota dash switched Google can't find.
Do you still have the rear air ride system on your Limited?
I believe the air ride was only offered on post-facelift limited models. 2005-2007
Hi brother. When you have engine light comes on and say it’s oxygen sensor and after replaced all four sensors, now it say catalytic p0420 / p0430. But catalytic is fine. Could it be air leaks somewhere in the engine or do we have to replaced catalytic converters. Do you know anything about this issues.
For me, sometimes when there is a huge temperature swing or elevation swing, my ECU cannot keep up with the proper fuel/air ratio, and it'll throw that code. Once cleared it stays off until it goes through the same type of shock. Hopefully you are having the same issue.
@@isaacspoon oh ok thanks for the information, I will do that.
Go generation 2! 2008! And up. Major upgraded!
What brand rear bumper do you have?
Brute Force Fab
What bumpers did you run on this?
brute force fab rear bumper with dual swing outs, and the front is an ironman4x4 LC100 seriese bumper modified to fit the sequoia. both install videos are on my channel
Awesome! Thank you, I’ll be sure to check them both out! Yours looks good! Thanks for those part numbers and Tid bits that’s the kind of info I’ve been hoping to find. Lol
what part of tx you in?
DFW area. In Royse City
@@isaacspoon I was gonna say if your in houston we should find a or start a sequoia meet down on the beach . like the jeeps do
@@3rdcoastpesca well I just graduated with an MBA and have 10 years operations experience in business management. If you have any connections we would gladly move to houston for a job haha we actually would prefer living there over Dfw… then we can start a meet up!
Shoot I’m getting 11.5 with 33s on 20s
I’m getting roughly 12.5 with mine
Regarding the rear door latch, I had broken two plastic and bent one metal one to the point it would not work. Solution for me was:
1- replace the cable with a new well lubricated bicycle cable. Mine was overly loose from being stretched. Plus I added a second cable for interior access.
2 - remove the bottom latch mechanism and rebuild it, removing the semi rubberized coating on the inner mechanism. This was a bit of a process but doable. I also replaced the latch pins with bolts so I can open it via a wrench should the latch get stuck.
3- replace the outer latch boot with black gurilla tape. Main culprits for the failures were dust/grit build up in the latch mechanism. The tape makes for a nice dust boot, that remains water tight.
4- lubricate the latch mechanism twice per year.
Other main issue has been around my love hate relationship with the rear air suspension. My 2007 model is great for towing when the it is working. I have also do e several mods to it, and I may do a video on them later this spring when I upgrade / re uild the rest of the suspension. It is not going to be as flexible as extended coils are, but it offers a lot more than most give it credit for.

Your mpg reading isn't not worth much if you didn't calibrate your odometer. Nor are your calculations.
tip number 1 stop playing with ur phone while driving, that's how accident happen. Tip number 2 stop eating junk while driving, u're hungry, order ur food, go sit down and enjoy ur food and ur car won't smell like a trash can.
