    I am having trouble finding a light bar I like that will work with the front sensors on an 18 Sequoia. Any possibilities out there? What have you used? As a fallback, I am thinking about mounting them up on the cargo rack, but would prefer a minimalist front bar like the NFab. Unfortunately...

    What happens to my milegae when I lift and install big tires?

    Plenty of people notice several impacts when they install bigger tires and a lift. 1. Speedo is off (you're going faster than indicated) 2. Mileage drops (takes more to run those big tires and get it moving) Did you order gears and a device to re-calibrate the speedo? Dont overstate the...

    Sequoia Lift

    Here is how I got the 33" tires under my 2018 Sequoia.... Installed 442 lift kit from Revtek (this works with air suspensions)... 33" tires rubbed the upper control arms with the stock wheels, so I got a set of Fuel Anza in 20"x9". These have the proper offset to accommodate 33" tires. The...
