A $150K+ Toyota Sequoia Gets a Complete Restoration — Every Detail Matters!

This Toyota Sequoia is more than just an old SUV. With fewer than 70,000 miles on the odometer, its owner wanted to bring back the solid, premium feel that made this vehicle special. Instead of spending roughly $30,000 on a new car, he chose to invest a similar amount in a complete restoration. We stripped the vehicle down, separated the body from the frame, and removed the engine for a full teardown. Inside, we found dark oil, sludge buildup, and worn components that needed careful cleaning, machining, and rebuilding. The chassis was dismantled, rusted hardware was treated, and the frame and components received protective refinishing. The body was stripped to bare metal, carefully smoothed, primed, and repainted with a durable clear coat. We also restored the interior while keeping the original seats, exactly as the owner requested. From the engine to the chassis and paintwork, every detail was handled with care. Would you spend $30,000 restoring an old Toyota Sequoia instead of buying a new vehicle?
