Alternator is now on my list too, it's probably the original, but I'd think I would see some dimming, charging light or battery drain if it were struggling and I don't know if that would be likely to act up when hitting bumps, but who knows.

If the original alt has 180k to 200k on the odometer. Your brushes will be very warn out anyways. As that's about the average length of time for both the alternator and the starter brushes. [ well that's what I seen in all the Toyotas I owned and worked on for 30 years] it's an average though sometimes its longer and sometimes its slightly less.
All the posters gave excellent advice. I am sure you soon will have your cause.
