can elaborate.
From Crudrunner on TacomaWorld:
“3rd gen 4Runner, just replaced my dying stock Denso Alternator with the Grand Vitara DENSO2100461, so far stoked on it.”

Yes! The Grand Vitara alternator is an excellent, virtually drop-in upgrade. Both of the factory plugs are compatible with it. Baffles me that an odd ball Suzuki has a 105 amp alternator, but the 'Runner and Taco' were given an 80 amp, lol.
Last I checked online, they were on back order. I went to my nearest salvage yard some time back to see if I would have any luck getting one. The only Vitara there had its missing.
One thing to note and in that thread they expand on this, is that you should probably consider upgrading the positive and negative wiring to fully benefit from the additional power from this alternator.
Edit: still out of stock on RockAuto. Global Industries apparently shows in stock. Never heard of them...
