Hammertown: The Story of the Sequoia Beast

Derek Miller decided that he was going to race in the toughest single day offroad race in the world...two months before the race...without a race ready vehicle. Once he made that decision everything he did was aimed towards getting his 2002 Toyota Sequoia turned from a street-legal trail rig to a racecar that could pass the stringent race guidelines for the vehicles. Just seeing the green flag at the start line was going to be a monumental challenge.
On February 5, 2021 Derek and Mike Hernandez (co-driver) put on their race helmets and started the engine ready to begin their 9 hour, 126-mile race through desert and rocks in the Every Man Challenge at King of the Hammers. Watch their journey as they enter the first-ever Toyota Sequoia in the King of the Hammers.

Worked at a dealership when I was in high school quite a while back; We had multiple parking lots a few miles away from the dealership due to space constraints, and we used a Sequoia to get there. When I left, it was over 300k miles and still kicking. We used to wholesale them to the middle east all the time, they loved them over there. Great machine, and awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Hope you're doing well Derek, and Mike H. Love the channel Mike G.

Mad respect for you and the team. I have done extreme rock crawling in Moab, and Rubicon and similar areas. Sierra Nevada kicked my ass. Came off the trail with brake liners thinner than a credit car. Mechanic looked at me and asked, "Why are you even still alive?" My skills were never that great, but I learned things about myself, pitting choice of lines and the like, and being with good people, it's just one of the best things you can ever do in life. But your ability to fab the machine is so far beyond anything I ever did. Having once been strapped through 9 of 12 miles, picking up U-joints and other pieces along the way, carnage happens.

Was into offroading years ago, had an 03 TJ I built on tons/40s/stretched to 110in but was sold when we had my son and been doing other stuff ever since. I just got an 05 Sequoia and got the offroading bug again... Seeing this reignited my dream/bucket list item to build something for KOH (no, not my Sequoia, I'll build a dedicated buggy). Awesome job and super unique build!!
