So far the best Sequoia latch I've seen
I installed your latch today. Took me 15 minutes and is the best mod. No better feeling when things work the way they should. Thank you for making these available.
I did mine but only last me 2 weeks got stuck again so I’m gonna do this trick to stop the problem. Obviously nursing better do it the rigth way but unfortunately can’t
I'm on my 3rd OEM handle and recently I've started to have put my shoulder into the door to open it. My wife is going to be super stoked on this. Thank you 🙏
Glad it was helpful for you. If you can’t get your hands on one, message me on Instagram and i can get you one 👍🏽
Amazing. I've replaced the back latch multiple times on my sequoia. Right now, I have the cable accessible on the outside of the door but it can be a pain to open. This bypass lever is a game changer.
Dude thank you SO MUCH! I've had my Sequoia rear hatch apart so many times. I followed your video today while installing a P clamp for the new latch. You're a life saver thank you!
I just installed it on my 2007 last weekend. Works great and easy to install!
I did something that works the same on my 06 but yours looks very professional and 110% better than mine. I used a small diameter 8" piece of stainless steel wire that has a washer on the end of it. So now it has a tail lol. I grab the tail and pull slightly to the left and it opens right up.
When I have the time I think I'll try your upgrade.
Great video thanks a lot!
The man, thank you, been battling this for years.
That’s awesome!! Wish I had seen this yesterday after I spent 2 hours fixing mine for the third time
I've replaced my latch 3 times in 4 years lol, this is gunna be on my to do list for sure.
Well done! What a good idea. I will be doing this mod in the near future.
That's freaking awesome. I'm gonna go fix my latch That's been broken almost a year. I had a few guys look and try to fix it but they couldn't or just lazy. But you just make my day, I'm fixin to go fix and get redneck on my 2003 Toyota. I'm a little bit redneck to and you saved me a shit load of money. THANK You. You're the bomb. Thanks from TEXAS.
I just ordered one via FB. Super stoked about this, can’t wait to get it on.
thanks for your support! Cheers
Thanks for sharing. I won’t be buying another latch handle ever again. Made mine out of a scrap piece of aluminum… covered it with a tight fitting vacuum cap. Didn’t bother with the cable on the inside as I didn’t need it. Again, thanks!
great suggestion. I've been through two oem door latches now on my 04
The manual latch is here now!
I will be getting this sooner than later!
Been using for 6+ months still works great.
Same here!!
Oh dear lord! That rear hatch has been a pain in my ass ever since I’ve owned my sequoia! Coming up on the 8th, yes, 8th time replacing the handle/cable. Definitely gonna get one of these!!
Nice mod.
I also got rid of the inner and outer dust boots. I added 4 peices of of gorilla tape around the outer latch to keep out the majority of dust from dirt and gravel roads.
I also rebuilt the latch mechanism as the inner rubberized coating was comming off binding the latch. This binding was so bad it bent the metal upgrade handle I had installed! During this process I replaced the latch pins with bolts. This allows a failsafe now of using a wrench when the cable doesn't work. Usually a sign to lube it up a bit.
Finally I also replaced the cable and Noe it ends with a ball grip. No more latch. Works great. But this solution is nice too. Also recommend having the second opener inside the door.
Do you have a video of the latch rebuild?
In case someone is trapped in the trunk 😜
I did it last week. It’s amazing.
That is an AWESOME Fix! I have had to take that back panel off about once a year to repair that stupid tailgate lock. I am adding this today!
Hi! Where did you find the link to order? I don’t see a link on any of his pages
@@angelamoore4458 I bought a short piece of aluminum bar stock at home depot. Cut it, bent it and painted it black. I have been using it for the last 3 months and it works perfectly.
awsome mod! My latch just broke today! Can you tell me what the length of that is when flatten stright? Thanks
Outstanding! Will be ordering.
wheres the latch link at?
Where did you get that bracket and did you have to get a longer cable to make it work? Also would like to see your new video on putting all the plastic back on and having another handle for the inside. Thanks
Working great brother! Should have you film my modular, folding bed that allows for all 3 rows I'm nearing completion. Have it up on the wasatch sequoia page minus a video.
Got mine installed and it’s great. Thank you. My only concern is that for me and my off-roading, DUST is the real culprit. It causes the latch to cease. I loaded it up with super lube and taped it up to help keep dust out. I don’t have my original cover but I’m going to try to 3d print a custom one that has a slot for lever.
This is the video I’ve been looking for, omg!!! lol now how do you open it if the latch is broken? So that I could make this new latch lol
Great video ! Going to try it but my issue also is that the wi Dow goes down with the internal
Switch but won’t go down with the key
Everything was replaced a few months ago, not sure what it could be !
Latch seems to be stuck when I try to pull it open I feel a lot of resistance 😮
I added a fabricated latch like you have detailed. Thank you. I left the cable off of the new/replacement latch above the license plate, as the lower latch is more convenient. Now, my security alarm and the lock doesn't work on the rear hatch. The front and passenger doors lock and unlock, but for some reason the rear hatch doesn't lock. I've re-attached both wiring harnesses on the latch mechanism, where the new handle is located at the bottom of the rear hatch. Do you have any suggestions on how to get this to work again? Thanks in advance for your expertise.

I just bought a lever from you. I hope it works on my Sienna...
Nice I'll be ordering one in the next few months
Did you buy yours off of Zach Gleason too? That’s where I bought mine- what a great idea, great product and he contacted me later on to see how things worked out for me! Thanks Zach!
Just got mine, ordered it like 3 days ago. Install it in less than an hour and it's amazing
Where did you order?
Where? Can you comment with a link?
@ashleywoode2632 I keep trying to posy a link but fishy things are happening just Google Aired down adventures he has a shopify account
@marcusd25 I keep trying to posy a link but fishy things are happening just Google Aired down adventures he has a shopify account
So I just installed this lever that I bought from you several months ago. It works well, the issue I’m having is that the lever doesn’t spring back to it’s original position after opening the door. It just keeps the latch in the open position. If I slide it back to the locking position, the latch comes back and shuts as it normally would. Any ideas on what I could’ve done wrong in the installation?
Hey I just replace the latch with the mod you have but when I go to lock it it. The actuator lock will not lock the door but the rest of doors lock. You think my actuator went out right there and then I mean looks pretty old but did work before any advice would cool and thank you showing us this mod I don’t have to worry about that breaking on me anymore
Great job 👏
Good luck and success.
I been watching your video. Door won't open. I just got the door open...And the black box with the actuator...BUT...i have a wire going from the actuator down to the bottom door latch? I have not see that anywhere online. Have u seen that before...A small wire going down to the latch
Thanks I wish I would have seen this earlier. On my 3 fucking time repairing this door latch. So frustrating. This is awesome!
This is awesome! Can I get this part or do I have to make it?
Great work..how can I order this part?
Will this still work of the tailgate latch is broken or acting up? The cable goes from the tail gate latch(the rectangle one) down to this bottom latch right?
Nice video, but i have a question, how i remove the plastic from the lock if the door is closed ?
Where do you get the leverage .Or what did you use to make one
I assembled it amd it worked perfectly. Until the 3rd time I opened it. Disassembled the inside portion to see that the cable came off. Apparently, the plastic portion on the cable snapped. So the ball end of the cable won’t stay on for long because the plastic groove won’t stay on. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Thanks for the video
Hi there. Where do I buy that lever part. .? Thanks !!!
Are you still making these? There is no link to go to.
@bellinghamfpvcan you put the link below I couldn’t find it either
I don't see a link either...
Dang it. Still no link
Man, we need this link so bad lol!
Google aireddown_adventures
Any word on wether you'll be making these again ? I followed the marketplace link and it says out of stock. Id love to fix my tailgate handle.
Great Hack!👍👍
This is a cheap and easy fix for the hatch but I went with the York Solution Supply electric hatch conversion with the second accessory button for the interior. It is EXACTLY how the Sequoia should’ve come from the factory. We’ll worth the money.
None of those issues so far, knock on wood. The only downside that I’ve noticed so far is the button location is sometimes difficult to find and there is no spring assist so if you pop the hatch, you’d better have your other hand pulling on the bottom to release it from the latch. Once you get the hang of it, it’s no problem. I can’t imagine ever having to go back to the old latch system.
Good luck. Mine stopped working at the one year mark. :(
Thanks for showing how to fix this problem on sequoia. Where and how can I buy one bypass latch opener from.

Here you go
Wheres the link to the part? I need this! Had heavy freezing and the dang latch broke for the second time!
Great fix. Best video about this problem and very understandable. awesome.. was about to insta;ll 3rd handlem i did what you did, any idea why i can unlock the hatch when truck is locked.. ? i re watched video and did not see anything about cutting a wire or anything ,? thanks from Calif
You said the cover was not needed but I think it's to keep dust and grime off the moving latch parts. Those get dirty then they start to bind and stick.
Will the trunk still lock after? I installed but when cars locked i can still open the trunk
Hey I’d like to buy one of these but the link is missing. Where can I buy one?
I removed the cable all together. It’s not necessary to keep it, so I ditched it. I also kept all of my black housing/trim prices and I just used garden shears to cut away at some of the material to give clearance for the new lever.
Nice! Thanks for sharing! I just kept the cable to easily open it from the inside.
@@wasatchmotoco I see! That makes sense for your rig and needs 👌🏾
Yea it works awesome!!
@frostbite_hemi392 What about when opening from the inside?
@@stephenavila5027 I currently do not have any way of opening the rear hatch from the inside.
For my application, If I needed to exit while inside, I could always crawl out through the glass when I roll it down or use the rear door
I just purchased this, can’t wait to install it! Also I like the idea of running the cable back through into the cab, I may look into doing that myself. Thanks for the idea!
Awesome. Make sure and slap that subscribe button for more 1st gen content! Cheers
Matt Brown where did you buy it at ?
@@bearlyasmr2033 I have a few in stock. Message me on instagram and I can get you hooked up. Wasatch Moto Overland
@@wasatchmotoco do you still have latches?
@@TheDrmolle I’ve got a few. Message me on Instagram if you want one 👍🏽
boss the link is missing to purchase the latch?
I want this!!! My hatch is stuck for the third time. I'm tired of replacing these parts. I also love the ability to open from inside. Can you provide a link?
There is not an actual link, but just go on Instagram and search for aireddown_adventures and send him a message. He will respond pretty quick I’m sure.
Also make sure and hit the subscribe button for more helpful sequoia videos! Cheers
I am taking the wire off completely. I just bought the latch. Thanks.🙃
Inatall was easy ans well worth it, thanks
What the name of this part you used and where I order it
Hey Wasatch, trying to follow the link for this tool but it's not available/working. Do you have another link for this?
Best shirt!!! Did you get stuck?
No I’m just a big fan :)
Where did you order the part you added and how much did it cost?
Seems like this style of latch hack came out in the last few years ago. Quite a few years ago when I went through my first handle problems this wasn't out the . I have replaced the handle with the OE Toyota handle and done the lead sinker truck to take up slack on the cable. It slipped off and I am back in there tonight and watched videos to make sure I found the process to take the back off again since I haven't been in there in 4-5 years maybe. Could use a new cable but just put the lead sinker back and taped it back so it can't slip out of place again. We're good to go but if something fails again I'll probably do this style repair. Oh taped the rear window motor and gave it the fix again while in there .
I am Interested in getting this latch. Can you send me a link?
Is this from Airdown Adventures?
The link to the handle isn’t working. Is it expired? If so how can I still order through you so it benefits
Where did you buy that peice at I need to do this
Is there a link. I saw it one time and then cant find again
where did you get the part from
I'd buy this from you in a second if you had a link still. I'll make my own though. Great information! Thank you
Where can u find the pieces to make one? I can’t find the right sizs
@@nickm5436 I haven't tried yet. Got a hand injury that's delayed me. If you find them, let me know. I'll let you know if I do.
I can’t find where you bought your lever for the hatch hack. If you could help me out I would be so grateful. Love your videos.
Message me on Instagram and I’ll get you more details. Wasatch Moto overland
@@wasatchmotoco I made my own and you saved my rear hatch. I was getting to the point I was going to have to cut it to get my hatch open. Your tip on the piece of steel Rod to open it absolutely saved me. Thanks for your videos my man. Now I will be ready for my overlanding trip first of November to land between the lakes Kentucky.
@@golfmike304 dude! I love lbl, we went like 6 years ago when I had a jeep. It was a lot of fun. I’d love to go back with the sequoia!
So if I did this could I also leave the stock latch connected so if it breaks again I have a backup I have no need to open from the inside
Yes you can.
good job 🌹 Thanks ✅👍
i repaired it like in the video but the door stay unlock when i shut it open without key or center lock means door can not close
Is the LATCH piece no longer available . The link says SORRY
I can not find the link to this product can anyone share the link for me please?
Where do you get the latch?
That plastic cover is for dust. When it gets dust in there and it makes it hard to open, which leads to the handle breaking. I sealed mine up every more to help so I wouldn't have to replace the broken handle again.
hi gang... trying to order your latch... however I don't see the link that is supposed to be above. was it removed or am I mentally challenged?
How do I order the Latch? The Link does not show up.
I am have problem with my latch. Went I saw your video Where did you buy latch from ?
facebook.com/marketplace/item/1846272432371435/
Here you go 👍🏽
Can I still order this modification?
Where do I find that item
Where did you get that latch? The link does not work.
My latch just broke today without knowing it was broken, Now it's time to fabric me a latch
Does it lock??
I'm about to modify a spoon and make a latch. Thanks!
Spoon working perfectly.
@@cesarlaso356 Any tips?
@@JohnnySuperDemon I cut most of the cupping part that you usually put in your mouth off. I left like a half inch of the wider spoon part and left the entire handle I didn't want to drill the handle itself so I used the wider part to drill a hole. I then bent it under the door. I still push the door before using the spoon latch but man it's so much better. I did not use or put the black plastic latch cover back in.
Where can I buy this? TY
Great video awesome idea thanks for sharing I owe you a beer 🍺
Maybe I missed this part but PLEASE tell me what you used for the actual “new handle” ???
There isn’t a new handle, the tab that he installs replaces the way you would normally open the hatch.
Can the factory handle still be used simultaneously with this mod? Thank you
yes
Where can I get this latch
Where do I get this latch? 😩
So what i did for my door hatch i use a zip tie and keychang with a handle to open my door and it worked.
Saved all this massive work
To open from the inside?
@@stephenavila5027 where the third door latches onto the bumper when you open it if you look inside there is a gold brass clamp I hook my keychain inside there. I used a zip tie was the keychain strap ever since then I have never had a problem.
