Those 4.7 are awesome. I have yet to see any problems with them. Just member to do t belt every 90k and spark plugs every 30k. If u run the plugs to long. It will kill the coils.
I see a SAS in the future. !!!

Thanks for the advice, Toyo. I'll replace the plugs ASAP. Timing belt was done at 82k, as well as a valve adjustment, so I have a little time there.

Cool, Brian. I'd love to have a 2012!

Got the Sequoia home tonight. It drives great. The issues it has are relatively minor, IMO. I've got to fix the broken column shifter, which seems to be very common in the Tundra's and Sequoia's. The tailgate handle needs to be replaced, as well. The sunroof closes slowly, maybe in need of a cleaning/lube. Otherwise, it's in great shape, and the wife + kids LOVE it. So smooth and quiet.

Oh, and the headlights were faded, but I solved that tonight. Thanks Meguiars!

I'll give it a bath in the morning, take some pics, and start a new build thread...

Not to bad. Been a while since I seen a broken shifter column but I never fixed one so I can't help much there. Now the tail gate is very common. If you need help opening it. I know a trick where I can open it on tr outside. Swing by the dealer if u want plus I think we keep the handles in stock so I can get u a better price if needed. Sunroof issue is new to me so maybe a cleaning like you said. Don't forget to link the new build page. SAS wink wink lol
