I can see why you needed that alternator...still getting 14+ volts?

Yeah I thought so too. I might take it up to Toyota and b**ch at them for a while until I get what I want for a small price[emoji23] nothing over 20$

Anyone installed a backup camera and know which cable to connect to so that the camera turns on when backing up automatically? I have a camera installed, but not sure which cable to tie into to get it to turn on auto when in reverse.

I placed my order on 03/11/16. So 7 weeks so far. I sent an email last week. No word as of yet. I know they expanded their operation a bit and were taking over the space next to where they had been operating out of, so I imagine that slowed things down a bit. We'll see.
Use the reverse light hot wire (not use which color it is but you can find it with a test light or volt meter). I ran mine off of a relay that turns on with my radio power antenna so it is on all the time.

LoL,
Yep, the new Alternator from Marion B2B is working like a champ.
So far so good, but seems very solid and looks awesome.

Ditched the K&N filter for a paper filter and cleaned the MAF sensor after just 10,000 miles since the last cleaning. The sensor bulb and tiny thermistor were covered in a fine layer of dirt that had passed through the K&N filter.

Also, got a little bored with the paint while I was touching up the skid plate and added this:

Scored a nearly new Scan Gauge II on Craigslist for $75. Wasn't planning on buying one but I could not pass up that deal.
Now I just need to figure out how I want to permanently mount it. I'm thinking I'll cut out the top of the steering column and recess it down inside so that it doesn't obscure my view. I saw someone else do that on this fourum and really liked it. Very clean and no wires hanging out.

Not sure if this has been linked to elsewhere, but thought article/video might be useful to those installing winches.

That is the air intake sensor, the MAF is actually located down inside the tube. It looks like a filament from an incandescent light bulb. Spray liberally with MAF cleaner until clean.

Yep! I sprayed the cleaner in there to clean it up too, just couldn't get the camera to focus on it for a picture. Thanks for the heads up though!
