I am thinking of putting one of those wood 'Dash kits' on my '08 Sequoia. Has anyone done this themselves? and how difficult was it? also, who was the supplier? I am thinking of the 'Burl ' wood (medium-dark wood)....any comments? Thanks all!

| Does anyone have any info on the 09/10 Sequoia? One salesman told me that they're skipping the 09 and will bring the 2010 out this spring, but I haven't seen that confirmed anywhere. Specifically I'd like to know if they're planning on adding side torso airbags in the 2nd row like the LandCruiser and Lexus LX570 have. It already has 3 row head airbags. Thanks for your help. | |

Replying to: gcmills (Feb 27, 2008 5:11 pm) Question is what is causing the engine RPM to get picked up by the speakers? The engine not grounded properly? Perhaps the antenna, speaker, amplifier, power cables not properly connected/isolated/grounded? I am not an audio expert but there is definitely a high pitch noise that is exactly as the original poster describes.

Replying to: 08SeqPlt (Dec 26, 2008 3:00 pm) A long history...I eventually took toyota to arbitration and lost because the arbitrator could not hear the noise....he was a 70 year old guy with bad hearing. this was after several trips to the dealer. What it is, i have narrowed it down to 2 things, there is a large mesh screen behind the butterfly throttle valve, it was dented. i straightened it out. Maybe it had a reed effect as the air passed over it?? The other thing i did is ran some silicone sealant around the intake manifold on the top of the engine - remove the plastic engine cover. i think it is air getting in to the engine through this manifold seam but toyota wont listen. the noise has greatly diminished and only happens around 1500 rpms. bottom line, the field engineer said it was "normal operation" and that was treated as gospel. even thouh i took it to othe dealers and they all said it was not normal, his decision trumped all. i gave up. You can test it by doing a powerstand for a very short period, put emergency brake on, put in drive and keep push on brake pedal. bring rpms up to 2000 and you can hear it quickly. I made a dvd of it too. good luck, feel free to email me directly and i'll give you my documentation.

Hi everyone, My wife and I purchased a new 2008 5.7 2WD SR5 back in may. We have over 7,000 miles on it already and I think it's the best car I've ever owned. We drove it, in October, 2600 miles through Oregon, Idaho, Washington State and Northern California. The 5.7 engine with the 6 speed automatic never strained once throughout the trip. We averaged about 20 mpg, with a one of the tanks of fuel being wind aided that registered 24 mpg. We are currently looking at a new Venza for my wife to replace her RAV 4. It's a great vehicle, but for us there is no doubt the high feature V-8 and the 6 speed transmission is what sets it apart from the competition. Thanks for this message board |

| CanStacker - thanks for sharing. I feel the same way about our 08 Platinum - although we only have 700 miles on it so far the engine/transmission is superior to vehicles in its class that I tested prior to buying the Sequoia.... | |
