Big 3 Upgrade

[68whiskey]

Can anyone post a detailed writeup of the big 3 upgrade? BigFishAllDay had a great writeup that has fallen victim to the photobucket issue. Although the writeup is still there, the visuals would be helpful as well. A lot of the good write-ups have been rendered almost useless because of this issue. This is the next mod I would like to accomplish, along with the Andymod 2.0 and disabling the DRLs. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I went through the big 3 in my build thread (link in sig)

I also plan to add some detail about how to perform the andymod and the DRL disable since those write-ups are also gone, maybe this week some time.

Would you guys happen to have the length for the wires?

I still don't know why people don't just host the pics off the forum. That way they don't end up victim to something like this.

There is a device you can use that will help you determine exactly what you need for your truck, its a fantastic invention called a tape measure.

Tape measure huh, what's that? Just wanted to get it going as my car isn't in my possession right now. Cheers!

I use this thing called Google and typed in "4runner big 3 upgrade" and got lots of info *snarky smile*

Also found a ton of stuff here, many threads, however are missing pics as was mentioned. Check it:

That would be great. Where did you source your alternator from, and how has it held up since the install? Also, not looking forward to making a bracket for the fuse block after seeing how clean yours is haha.

I believe [MENTION=44220]BigFishAllDay[/MENTION] was very close to republishing the write up with corrected pictures. I'm sure he'll update when he gets a chance.

1.
In the meantime you can still see all the pictures by simply holding cntr and clicking the photo. It will open each pic (working) in a new tab.

2.
Also (and much easier) you can use the Internet Archive "wayback machine" to view the post complete with all pictures intact. Go to ... https://archive.org/web/ Then paste in the original thread URL, and go back (in months) as far as needed.

3.
Lastly, as mentioned by others here ... check out the Photobucket embed fix plugin for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...kcpnnlofnnghnmfegnfnflicjjgj?utm_source=gmail

I appreciate you clearing this up for me. This is the post that I was looking for to get a better understanding of the mod itself.

Yeah, I googled everything. The first link you provided, which was what I was looking for to begin with, has the photobucket issue. So, until it was reposted or I was made aware of a way around it, it wasn't working for me.

I'm looking at BigFish's thread right now. I can see the photos. There's an extension for chrome that makes it possible. If you use Chrome as your browser google "photobucket embed fix". Install that extension. It's been working since the whole photobucket crap began. It works by redirecting the image for you. It's free and open source. The dev has a github up for any other tech geeks that want to see how it works.

I don't know if it's related to using a Mac or what. In any case, I used the "wayback" machine as posted above and it worked out just fine. I appreciate all the help though.
