    Camp Cots / Pads / Mattresses

    Gazelle T4 with 2 Tent-cots and Thermarest pads. Requires carcamping. We leave the Tent-cot with the tent portion folded down. We are both 67 and will be leaving the RV in the yard more often, although, we use the Gazelle setup for a day or two side trip.

    Bench test of RENOGY 40A DC to DC Charger

    I have a 20A unit. I agree with canned profile potential problems. I am using my Battleborn (BB) as a test subject. The Renogy’s DIP switches 1 - 4 in On, DIP 5 in off. Version 1.1 of the Renogy Manual states using with LiFePO4 chemistry with internal BMS only. This gives me a bulk of...

    Winter All weather Tires. 3Peak Logo.

    I have run AT KOs for many years on a Wrangler TJ, a Rubicon LJ, and a Sequoia. Ran them year round. In sizes 32x10.5-15: 33x12.5-15, 265/75-16 and 2 sets of 265/70-17. Both KOs and KO2. Glare ice was an issue, but as long as I had something I could grip, then I went along fine. Of course...

    Huh. Large format Anderson PowerPole connectors diff. colors, differently keyed?

    i am late to the party. I cant find it now, but, I swear there was a chart in the Anderson website showing a chart for intended voltages. I have black SB-175s that I mate with the Warn red ones. I switched one of the warn 4 foot leads (from my forward battery) from a red housing to a black...

    2017 Tacoma AGM dual battery charging issues

    My 50 amp three bank works well (I think) if I use it as a single bank. The “auctioneering” of the battery charge when more than one battery is connected really takes its toll on charging properly. i have followed the Odyssey “recovery” plan by dropping the batt voltage to 10.0 using an H4...

    2017 Tacoma AGM dual battery charging issues

    I’ve not had an Odyssey 1500 so this comment may not apply. The 2150s and 2250 Were hard to charge. The batteries liked to stay at 14.7 volts for what seemed a long time. If you did not keep pushing the amps in at 14.7 for a long tome, you would get a Partial State of Charge, which is what...

    2017 Tacoma AGM dual battery charging issues

    The loss of sensors MAY have been coincidental. I used an Odyssey OMAX charger, which took batt voltage to 15.3 for a short time. Since then, I have always assured any batt I was charging was isolated from the car, including when I use the Iota. I’ve lost no sensors since that one time (about...

    2017 Tacoma AGM dual battery charging issues

    Would you consider putting a factory style battery back in place and using a dc to dc charger to charge the two Odysseys Placed some place else? I have a 2003 Sequoia with the diode in the alt-s location and still did not get enough power to charge an Odyssey PC2150 (group 31) sufficiently...

    1st Gen Sequoia Tailgate Liftgate Water

    Tundra solutions had some posts about this issue. The posts affirmed my thoughts. Some new gasket material for the access panels, replacement trim fasteners with a new gasket to hold the trim in place and probably some non-hardening permatex in select locations sounds like my carpet will stay...

    1st Gen Sequoia Tailgate Liftgate Water

    I bought my 2003 new. Was always dry inside. The other morning the carpet was wet near the back of the car. Under padding too. I removed the trim inside the tailgateand found evidence of water draining thru the access panels. I removed these and will be replacing the gaskets. i went out...

    Driving myself crazy over batteries

    I have 2 Odyssey (PC1700 and PC2250) and 3 Sears Platinum (Odyssey PC-2150/Group 31) batteries and a Odyssey OMAX-50-3 charger. I usually keep one of the 2150s in the Toyota Sequoia for times when I put the ARB 50 in it. The Toyota does the usual Toyota job of not enough charge to keep the...

    1st Gen Sequoia Transmission Drain Plug Temperature Sender

    Has anyone replaced the drain plug with a temp sensor? I have determined the thread is a M10 x 1.5 and VDO makes a temp sender with that thread. Before I pull the drain plug with associated oil drain, has anyone stuck something in the hole and determined the depth? There is a good write up on...

    2003 4.7 V8 oil consumption

    Thanks, wiggilez. I temporarily thought a newer vvti swap, but, with a small bit of research decided locating all the pieces would be much more difficult than just buying a good condition 05 to 07.

    2003 4.7 V8 oil consumption

    I met a lady today who bought a used 2001 Sequoia 5 years ago. She tells me she “abuses” it and treats it “rough”. She and her husband keep it at their cabin and use it as a camp vehicle. It has about 250K miles and is stated to not use any oil. They drove it about 10K a year. Kind of makes...

    2003 4.7 V8 oil consumption

    I know. Have not seen/read about any consumption issues with 4.7. Mine went from none to a medium amount. Interestingly, I just saw a CL ad for a complete 2005 4.7 locally. Ad states ran fine but had bearing noise. Swapped engines. $300. I wonder what it would take to change ECU and...

    2003 4.7 V8 oil consumption

    I bought our Sequoia new in 2003. It has has fairly regular maintenance using 5-30 Mobil 1. It now has 135,000 on the clock. It never used any noticeable amount of engine oil until now. I have used it to tow a collection of trailers (25' RV, 12' high roof cargo, flat bed with Jeep LJ...

    Trailer TO Truck charging..

    I used Anderson SB-350 connector between the TV and the Trailer. In the TV is a Blue Sea ACR and an Odyssey PC-2150. In/On the trailer is 200W solar, Blue Sky MPPT controller, and an Odyssey PC-2250. When plugged together the ACR would connect or dis-connect as voltage dictated. If I...
