I did the same thing on mine. Everything works just fine, recently figured out how to make ADD work with 12th state off-road wire harness.

I went to big bear on the same weekend too. My stock sequoia breezed past everyone on the side of the road

Awesome 👏

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?

Pretty neat guys congratulations 👍👏👏👏👏

Great video. I've had problems with my actuator sticking as well. Once it wouldn't switch back to 2wd from 4wd H so brought it to the dealership and they basically banged on the cover a bit until it finally switched back. They told me to activate 4wd once in awhile so the parts can remain greased up. So now every time that I drive the car, I switch it to 4wd H for 30 seconds and then switch back to 2wd.

I love the video. I am attempting to do the same thing. I was wondering what front differential you guys have in the front and if im not mistaken, i thought the v8 dont come with add front diff. If so, what is the drivetrain setup on that sequoia

Are your front quarter panels aftermarket? The thickness looks so nice

Apologize if this is a stupid question. But anything to do before the actuator goes out to protect it better?

There are two different types of 4Runner transfer cases and the 3rd generation. Make sure you get the right one that's a hundred percent manual cuz otherwise you're getting one with the bunch of switches on it more to go wrong.

This makes me wish I’d just bought an 80 series to begin with 🙃

Since you had a problem with the transfer case you might want to take a look at the A750F transmission connector if you have an automatic transmission. I had a shift solenoid 1 fault and it wouldn't shift to first gear and was not wanting to move. The wire seal over the solenoid 1 pin leaked and the water corroded the very thin pin and it broke off so i had to replace the internal transmission wiring harness. I was able to take the plug apart and and clean the corrosion and remove the broken pin, but I also bought a replacement plug just in case. Anyone that off-roads with a 2005-2015 Toyota with a A750E or A750F transmission should pull this plug and inspect it for corrosion or you risk getting stranded. The leak at the molded silicone wire seal which can be further sealed with the addition of a little RTV with a cotton swab or tooth pick.

Will the 01-04 Sequoia take the FJ transfer case too?

Is it not recommended driving on the road in 4wd after case swap?

I have an 04 sequoia, could I just swap a transfer case from the fj?

That came out looking great! I swapped out my tundra’s automatic transmission for a 5-speed manual and manual J shifter so had to go through a lot of the same steps. How did it go with getting the A.D.D. system working, or did you just delete it? I wired a rocker switch to engage and disengage my A.D.D. but plan on completely deleting the system and converting to manual locking hubs.

We dont know exactly what failed. But we were stuck in low range and there was no way for us to come out of it, we resulted into braking the actuator to be able to go into 2wd and getting the car home. A new actuator costs more than the fj transfer case so it was a no brainer swap.

What year model and engine type of fj ????

No. The shift rods are in a completely different location inside the cases. On top in the manual actuated cases. In the center of the actuated cases, so that the electronic actuators hanging off the back of the cases are lined up w the shift rods. The only way to make an actuated case manual would be to break the actuators off the back of the case, an then add cable shifters grabbing onto the back of those protruding rods. But you might need to add some sort of plate or block with an O-ring to replicate the sealing effect of those actuators. Some older 4x4s came stock w cable-shifted t-cases.

The t-case from the automatic transmission FJ. You won’t need a driveshaft spacer because the tundra t-case doesn’t have a center differential, so it will be the same size.

Hey guys i know the video is older now and you dont the swap a while ago but.. i was wondering about the sequoia wheel speed sensor located next to the fill plug. Im sure you guys took that off (one x12mm) and removed a blank plug from the FJ TC to swap on the sequoia one in. My question is the sequoia speed sensor has a plastic gear that spins on the spline gear on the sequoia TC but my FJ cruiser TC has no spline (smooth shaft) so the plastic gear on the speed sensor has no way to attach or line up to spin to get a speed reading. Did you guys have a problem or is it only me with this random fj tc? Lol thanks any info be nice

The FJ manual transmission T-case has a center differential, and is the same length as the sequoia t-cases ( no driveshaft spacer needed), BUT it has the wrong input shaft. Toyota manual transmissions and automatics have different output shafts. So you have to take the cases apart and swap input shafts. I’ve heard it’s possible to swap from auto to manual, but not manual to auto. Not sure why.

It would have worked, though you would still have to cut the hole for the shift lever, which went away in 2005. BUT the early 1st gen sequoia T-cases still used an electronic actuator (1, instead of 2) for the mode rod. (2wd, vs awd, vs 4x4). Also, the case would have been the same length, so no driveshaft spaced needed.
