I've had this idea floating around in my head for a while. There's a lot of empty space in the frame behind the rear axle of a Toyota truck/SUV once you remove the spare tire assembly. People install auxiliary gas tanks, air tanks, water storage, etc.
I made this cage out of spare 3/16" steel. I've had no negatives with the setup yet but if I do I'll be sure to post an update!

Just a reminder for people before welding on a vehicle it’s safe to unplug car battery first it can short out pcms bcms and ecms. I’ve blown airbags before and scared the **** out of me.

You might be my favorite sequoia overland/daily build. You seem to share many of the unspoken ideas rattling around in my head except you have the skill and motivation to make it happen!

@treehouseoffroad Год назад

Thanks man I've learned so much by just going for it and hoping for the best 🙏

@pv7524 Год назад

I admire your innovations and get er' done attitude, without any reserve of messing up your daily driver. That's one sweet rig! Hello from Wisconsin!

Of course Bro!

@randydowning451 Год назад

Thanks for the video that's a good mod. You have really inspired me many times. I have an 06 Sequoia. I just drool over your rig man. I know all about the triangle and circle. 27 years clean myself. No matter what club member. Keep on keeping on brother and I'll keep liking and watching your videos and clicking on your links to pump your algorithm

@treehouseoffroad Год назад

Thanks for the support my man! 27 yrs is incredible congratulations. I just got 6 in May...the gift that keeps on giving

@noahmoore6252 Год назад

As always, a crisp well presented video, straight to the point. I think you take the award as the "Q" of the Sequoia world. Always doing things outside of the box - love it! Looking forward to the next one!

@treehouseoffroad Год назад

Wow what a compliment I love his videos!

@D33frmHawaii Год назад

Best first gen sequoia I ever seen, built like a tank, and just as capable. Keep up the great work.

@treehouseoffroad Год назад

🙏 Appreciate that 🙏

@hansarri Год назад

Thank you for all the good ideas!.

@treehouseoffroad Год назад

Yeah for sure man!

@ajfabworx4800 Год назад

Another great video. I love how you post the video after you have had the mod on for awhile and can provide the update on how it has held up.

@treehouseoffroad Год назад

Thanks man yeah I think it's important to do that.

@adventuretrails1ato Год назад

Nice setup. I'm putting in a 1200 watt pure sine converter, in my 1st Gen Sequoia. I have a 70 amp hour starter battery. Lithium titanium oxide. These lithium titanium oxide batteries can handle minus 34° f and up to 164° f. So we'll work under the hood. For the power source. Runs on 14 volts. Pretty much perfect for the Sequoia.

@treehouseoffroad Год назад

Nice I haven't done any research on lith tit oxide sounds legit

@DS-ft5dt Год назад

Thanks for addressing the under the hood idea. I think I'm going to hold off on adding a second battery under my hood. I also added my air pump under the hood but it's gets extremely hot because it gets hot from the engine and then hotter from pumping the air, I think I'll consider moving everything to the back like you did. Thanks again

@treehouseoffroad Год назад

Yeah I had my ARB compressor under my hood at first too bc that's what people do, but it was getting unbelievably hot. After a day of offroading in the Cali summer sun that thing was hot to the touch before I even turned it on. I was blowing 40 amp fuses so I decided to move it into the cab and I haven't had a problem since. Thanks for commenting!

@Art-yd7ms Год назад

Absolutely amazing build, keep it up!!

@theclan4adventures Год назад

Another great video brother! I always love it when someone says “ they don’t make that for my application the way I would like it” or they do but “How much do they want for that? F it I’ll build it myself” I just moved the traillimo from its 6 month storage to my friends house this last weekend …new rear axle going in this weekend and then I’ll be starting the rebuild and rework of everything over the following weeks… hopefully soon I can run it out to cali for a get together..fingers crossed lol

@treehouseoffroad Год назад

The trail limo I love it! Bro my wife and I have 4 kids so the Seq has been great for long family campouts. Then we added a Husky (as you know) and it's been a little tight but still doable. Well now we're having our first child together feb 2023 and I'm not sure the ol' tree will be big enough anymore. I know it's an eight seater but we only use one 3rd row seat bc we stuff all the camping gear in the back.... Toyota doesn't make an equivalent to the Ford Excursion, and I really don't want to buy a van....looks like it may be time for a trailer???

@theclan4adventures Год назад

@@treehouseoffroad overland trailer for sure…congrats on the new addition to your clan we travel with three boys a husky and a cat so I know how it all goes I even built an excursion back in the day but the sequoia is the better all rounded vehicle hands down

@treehouseoffroad Год назад

@@theclan4adventures Thanks, people think we're crazy for having another (on purpose) but we're excited. Excursions are stupid expensive right now too, especially for the big diesel which is the one I'd want. I've heard the other models are under-powered.

@theclan4adventures Год назад

@@treehouseoffroad the v10 is plenty I had both a v10 and a built 7.3. Engines are fine it’s everything else that is not so good lol trans electronic body chassis bla bla bla trust me building a cool small camp trailer will save you so many headaches in the long run and don’t get me started on prices in az they wanted 35k for a 6.0 with 150k miles that was stock not even bulletproofed lol Toyota has bought back a few 4.7 vehicles with over a million miles on them… Ill keep my sequoia and deal with the space

@sethlover1211 Год назад

@treehouseoffroad Год назад

That's the plan!

@juniorvazquez9000 Год назад

Love the idea. Would it be safer just to make some kind of box for it . To keep it super waterproof ? Just wondering. But love the videos.

@treehouseoffroad Год назад

Thanks good question...I have a plastic group 24 battery box that I originally planned on using. It was too bulky and odd-shaped, so I ended up calling Battleborn and asking them if I'd be alright just running the battery alone

@whatcanilearnhere9158 2 месяца назад

thought about that, but i want to keep stock spare location, thought about putting spare on roof, but then why not just put battery in box up there. cant decide...

@treehouseoffroad 2 месяца назад

Put it under the hood! There are plenty of companies that make kits and there's a lot of empty room under the hood of a Sequoia, especially if you get rid of the stock air box and replace it with a cold air intake.

@whatcanilearnhere9158 2 месяца назад

@@treehouseoffroad naw, its a huge marine battery 1500cca, like 150lbs. thanks though, ive measured and measured, there is no way

@watsonfitnessmiami 9 месяцев назад

It has been a year since you posted this. Any problems from rocks or other items hitting your battery?

@treehouseoffroad 9 месяцев назад

No issues whatsoever

@Tree_Cruiser Год назад

Dope battery box man. You still looking to do some axle work? I remembered you mentioned some stuff about it a post or so ago.

@treehouseoffroad Год назад

Hey appreciate it man. I tried doing the re-gear/locker install and ended up needing the help of a professional lol. I had like 20 hours into the front diff and 15 into the rear and got pretty close, but "pretty close" doesn't cut it when setting up a differential lol. I had to admit I was in over my head and hand them off to someone with a higher pay grade. I got a ton of footage that I'll probably use when I make a second part to the walk-around video. Thanks for asking!

@Tree_Cruiser Год назад

@@treehouseoffroad Ill be on the lookout. Im looking at doing some locker work on my Tree next spring. Ill probably end up paying someone to do it too though lol. Some things are better left to the professionals.

@TruckMelanoma Год назад

Did you swap your t-case to a FJ case? I’m thinking of trying to do a cable shift conversion to get rid of my actuator vs an FJ case.

@treehouseoffroad Год назад

I did the FJ swap yes, it's great. My original plan was also to try and do a manual conversion on that case but it's definitely a challenging idea. It could definitely be done but I just don't have the time to dedicate to it right now

@TruckMelanoma Год назад

@@treehouseoffroad I have not been able to find a decent priced FJ case, so I am doing triple stick cable actuated setup. So far the engineering hasn't been difficult at all. going to use JB Custom Fabrications flush mount kit and cables. I'll have to let everyone know how it goes since I have not found anything like it online thus far....

@treehouseoffroad Год назад

@@TruckMelanoma No they're certainly isn't, so you have the case out of the truck and your currently developing it?

@TruckMelanoma Год назад

@@treehouseoffroad shouldn’t have to remove the case. Just the actuator. The ends of the shift rods are easy to access when the plastic actuator housing has been removed.

@treehouseoffroad Год назад

@@TruckMelanoma Haha 😂 I know about that all too well, My actuator snapped off exposing the shift rods. I was just thinking it'd be a lot easier to work on it if it was removed. Good luck man keep me updated
