Part Two of Our FJ Cruiser Transfer Case Swap on The Sequoia
Hey everyone welcome back to the channel in this video we went over the electrical side of doing a manual transfer case swap on the first gen Toyota sequoia. First you will need a wiring harness from 12th state off-road in order to be able to manually engage your front ADD actuator.
Regarding the lights in the dash we were not able to get them to read the signal from the fj transfer case and we instead decided to just tape off the bulbs because the blinking lights do sometimes get annoying.
If you guys have any questions feel free to reach out on Instagram @overlandingworld

Thank God I found you guys, i have the same problem, my sequoia is completely overland warrior but the transfer case is a headache. I was about to take all the accesories off ( tent,ladder, snorkel etc.) and lit the whole rig on flames. Thank yo so much for this videos you guy saved a Sequoia🙂
Just unplug the 4WD ECM. No flashing lights.
Hi there, another way to shut those blinking 4wd lights is to remove the 4WD fuse under the dash board

We tried a few different fuses but it didnt seem to work for us. Glad it worked for you, that seems a lot easier!
I’m thinking the lights will be flashing all life long until reconfigures the computer, I’m sure you will be fine running with the upgrades along the computer system
You guys making a lot of mickey mouse fixes hurts to see a sequoia go through this but fuuck it seems like you guys know what you’re doing

Yeah putting tape on the lights is something we aren't proud of but its better than having it blink all the time and be a distraction.

yea lol that looks painful but easy fix once you guys figure out what you need to do. I enjoy watching your videos great content 👍🏼
Better than having the electric t-case. Perfect. Just got a price for 4000.00 before tax. So I’m totally cool with this. Very clutch!

Is there a reason why your engine light is on?

Replacing the actuator is more expensive than purchasing a manual transfer case with what we found. You can look on car-parts.com and it will show where they have the t-case available. Do you mean the 4wd lights? They’re on because there is no actuator on the transfer case anymore and so the car is blinking because the computer thinks we do not have 4wd right now.

Love the video. Got 2 questions. First did you ever figure out how to get the dash lights to work properly? If not does your cruise still work?

Sadly we still have not figured it out. Hopefully we can rewire the 4wd computer.
Repost: Front diff switch?front locker? I assume it is because fj only had rear locker. Awesome info on the sequoia.

The front diff on the Sequoia has a ADD system which locks the hubs on the diff. Since we did the fj transferase swap we no longer had control over the front hubs and had to install a manual switch. The FJ cruiser has this as well except a computer does it when you engage 4wd.
There’s a KZread channel called the dirt mile and he swaps a FJ transfer case into a 2010 Tacoma . And he wires it so the lights on the dash work correctly maybe there is some similarities between the wiring of the Tacoma and the Sequoia

I’m not sure if its the same for the sequoia, but we will check out the video. Thanks!
Do you retain the center diff lock/unlock feature with this mod, or does that go away with the FJ Cruiser hardware? Are there specific years of Cruiser which need to be utilized for proper fit-up?

you do loose the center diff lock and unlock feature. All the FJ cruiser t cases bolt up.
Did you try swapping over the 4x4 computer from the FJ? It would be happier with the hardware (no electronic t-case actuators). I’m not sure if the wiring harnesses match up, to the shift sensors on the FJ t-case, to get those signals to the 4x4 computer? (Hidden behind the glovebox on all Toyota 4x4s)

That doesn't sound like a bad idea. I will look into the connectors to see if they would work together.
Do you have link for harness??
Does your a-trac work? And does it shut off the traction control?

I may have missed it, but where did you source the driveshaft spacer? Part number? Thanks in advance!
