Fixed the horrible aftermarket DVD support that the truck came with. It was literally a piece of particle board and would constantly strip out the screws.
I ended up using an the radiator bracket from a Tundra radiator swap I did. I cut and drilled hokes to mount M6 x 1.0 bolts for a nice clean look.
I also modified the rear hatch handle pull. Basically, as some of you know, the 1st Gen Sequoia door handles commonly break. I replaced mine and another on a 2002 Sequoia I service exclusively. The other day, the 2002 came to me with a sticking rear door that wouldn't open unless you shook it whole pulling the handle. Diagnosis - stretched cable from the handle to the latch mechanism combined with a crusty latch.
Here's my modification which I stole from a guy on YouTube:
Basically after I removed the back panel to access the handle, I found the cable had stretched or something had bent. Basically pulling the handle all the way was not enough movement to release the latch. Upon pulling the latch cover, applying slightly more movement to the latch arm would cause the latch to release. Prior to finding the above video, the cable broke at the portion where it fits in the holder/slot portion of the handle (to keep it in place). After buying and replacing the cable with a brand new Toyota cable, part number 64680-0C010, the problem remained. Some part was bent and I couldn't tell where. I will note that I pulled apart the entire latch to replace the cable. Through research, I found that some people bent the latch portion out to give the extra room needed. Even after trying that with a new cable, it still didn't work.
So following the advice of the above video, I bought a set of fishing line weights from Amazon (see link below). Since the weights are meant for a fishing line, they would not tightly close over the cable without risking cutting the cable or the weight coming off as the center "channel" of the weight was too small to allow the cable to fit inside and close. Rather than give up, I grabbed the largest weight from the set and drilled a 5/64" hole right through the center. This hole allows plenty of room for the cable and allows to weight to move freely on the cable once closed without risk of wearing or fraying the cable. I then opened the weight and slipped it on the cable near the ball end (door handle end). After closing the weight and verifying it moved freely, I reinstalled the cable with the fishing line weight over the ball end slot in the door handle, meaning when the handle was pulled, it would first push the weight into the ball, freeing up the slack and allowing the latch to open. I then reinstalled the cable cover.
After installing the operation is amazing. I worked at Toyota when these were new and the handle has never worked so well. It takes barely any movement to open the door and when fully released, there is still no tension, which means the door latches correctly.
The fix was so good on the 2002, I applied the same fix to my 2005. I will take a video soon to show just how much better the result is.
If you have a 1st Gen Sequoia, don't wait to get stuck or for your handle to break from overpulling. Some owners are on their 3rd or more handle and some even get completely locked out from the stuck latch. Periodically cleaning and lubing the latch and adding the weight will make a world of difference.
Fishing line weights are here (as stated I used the largest weight in the set):
Water Gremlin Removable Split Shot Pro Pack, 48ea/BB, 36ea/3/0, 16ea/7, 12ea/5, 12ea/4

Hope that helps someone. In theory, this fix could be applied to end stretched cable on the ball end where there is room to add the weight.
