Im looking for a alternator for the massive system i will soon be installing once i find a alternator. Hoping the alternator will put out more than 90.

Im looking for Headlights, i see that the new 2002 headlights wont fit on mine but i want the same looking.

I need to replace my grill hoping to find a nice one somewhere,

I found Megan Exhaust system which sounds nice, cant find any other exhaust kit that i dont have to custom put in my car.

I dont know anything about Engines but i was told i should get a new Intake 2. If someone could explain to me what it does to the car different that would be nice also which is the best?

If you could help me find the stuff i will love your forever lol. This car is hard to find parts for these days, mostly everything is custom.

An alternative to a new alternator is an overdrive crank pulley for the alternator you already have.

or pull one off a 1mz Highlander

If i do that how will it fit? Or does it fit? Also knowing that i have no possible way to install it and i let a pro do it how much will it cost me?

[1gSE]

was that for me or Taido?

My stock Alternator died and I replaced it with a 130A Highlander/Sienna one. It's a direct plug and play replacement.

The Highlander (and I think Sienna) also has an optional 150A, which is a direct swap, other then the main plug I think. So you'd have to get the plug with it, and swap your stock wires to that plug I think.

You lol. The one who said pull it out of highlander lol.

[cocopuff2u]

So the ones in a highlander fit the same match as the ones from a solara? For reaL? Where could be the best place to find one or get one?

[cocopuff2u]

Also idk how to hook one up, or take one out. Is it easy?

That one should be fine.

I did the same for my car and it's very easy to do.

Step 1. Got to an autoparts store and but a haynes manual.

Step 2. Take many long and massive shits while reading above manual.

Step 3. Go to another auto parts store or ebay and get a 2001 - 2003 V6 highlander alternator.

Step 4. Install the alternator.

Step 5. Learn to use the search function.
