Long Travel Sequoia (Call me crazy)

Hi everyone, i'm a frequent visitor to yotatech and a couple of friends and i had a crazy idea so figured i would just make an account and propose the idea for some feedback!

Ok! So we see alot of tundra long travel builds, but i have scoured the internet and have yet to find a long travel kit fitted onto a 1st gen sequoia. I'm very curious as to why nobody has done it yet. The idea is not that radical and since the sequoia is the sister of the tundra in many ways, i'd assume that its a viable question as to why the sequoia hasn't been given much love in its offroad ventures? Any feedback would be appreciated.

I've seen a few Sequoias outfitted to be offroad-y, but not many. The main reason for that is because they are VERY expensive, something like $50,000! Other than that, they're HUGE, and wouldn't fit on most trails (around here anyway).

I think it's an awesome idea though, go for it!

It's like putting a set of stilettos on a fat chick.

What i keep hearing is size, size is not an issue for me haha go big or go home!
This is a rare build i found probably one of a kind at the moment!
I know it's not pertaining to long travel but its pretty cool imo to see a sequoia fitted for some wheeling

You guys talk price... well the tree is going on 10 years haha shes ripe and ready for some mischief

I will continue to update everyone on the prebuild, im hoping to kick it off around the new year which will give me time to research and gather more info about what i need/want to do to this thing

Any comments, ideas, etc. are all welcome! I'm excited about this and any input would be helpful
