If anyone else wants to join the group buy, the coupon code is active between 3 AUG and 12 AUG. Please PM me or post in the thread and I will add them to the list and provide the ordering instructions.

Happy Ordering Everyone!

I would like to get in on this group buy too if it's available. Also, just to make sure, would this be necessary for a 40" rigid E series, two 6" rigid SRs, and I badass JL audio system say upwards of 2000 watts?
 
(model # is: 13341-270XP. This alternator IS the one that will fit your gen-5 4Runner!)

I'm in! I just ordered it now, the beauty of a 24hr internet and insomnia.
You can change me from tentative to DONE!

Did anyone venture to tell them that they should update the fitment guide they have on their website to include 4Runners after 2009? Also the fitment guide for that particular alternator lists only 1991-1998 Jeeps.....??

They might sell a few more if they updated their site. Just a thought.

Other than the obvious answer of future proofing your electrical needs, would this be a worthwhile modification for a stock 4runner? If so, what do you feel the advantages are? Thanks in advance!

Added you to batch 2. Will PM out the ordering instructions when I get home tonight. :eyebrows:

Future proofing would be it in the case of a stock vehicle. Your OEM alternator was designed for the stock vehicle. Once you go beyond that, that's where this mod is starting to pay dividends.

Do you want to get added to the list?

Thanks and have a great day!

If you are running a larger battery for all that stuff, then you will likely want it to ensure the battery stays charged. Amperage wise you may be ok with stock, but you'll be pushing the boundaries, so why take the chance?

also, if we dont really need the 270 amp one could this work for a smaller amperage unit?

The group buy was agreed upon for the 270. If the system accepts the coupon code for a smaller alternator, you may get lucky, but DC Engineering would not have to honor it because it is not part of the group buy.

Hopefully this helps!

Question, are there good step by step instructions for the removal of the stock unit and installation of the new one? Any special tools required and time it takes to do so?

[MENTION=83083]rigtec[/MENTION] had his installed by a shop. Mine is being installed by a shop. So unfortunately I cannot provide any additional details on this. Not sure if alternator removal is covered in the shop manual. No special tools needed from what I saw when tracing wiring a while back.

I might just have mine swapped out by a shop. Ordering mine next week.
 
Still on the fence, but think I might pull the trigger in the next day or so. Thank you for all your hard work arranging this group buy @%1;Okki and [MENTION=83083]rigtec[/MENTION] :bigok:

For some reason I'm unable to mention you Okki, my appoligies

Was there any conversation on what the upcharge would be for anodizing, something like TRD Red?

I've also attached removal and installation instructions from Toyota TIS for models 2012 & 2015 for reference.

Thanks for posting the instructions!

Color anodizing is available at an upcharge. It can be selected during the ordering process. It does cause a longer lead time for delivery. Clear-anodizing is included in the base price. :music:
