Engine has been pulled, any Recommendations?
Clutch went out, so I got a replacement, except a bolt from the flywheel wheel was bent and not reusable. Decided to pull the engine and clean it up while I wait for toyota to get my part. Is there something I should take a look at/fix/replace while the engine is out and easy to access?

probably to late but If the motor was pulled i would do a full top end. head gasket, timing chain, guides, check water pump and timing cover. check valves and clean out the egr valves. Hey that is just me though. if the motor is already out all of that is very easy to get too. Like I said though I may be to late of a reply.

yeah it seems i cannot now either so maybe I was wrong. I did however run across the one wire alt made by lc engineering seems pretty cool. kinda pricey and not as easy to find as a gm one though. http://www.lceperformance.com/High-O...-p/1080005.htm

If you like the alternator you have, you can keep the alternator you have...
I just replaced the brushes on my OE alternator for $5. Works great for me. I don't have a winch though, either. A 5 hp winch will pull about 300 amps at 12VDC under full load. Depending on your auxiliary battery and how much you use the winch, you may or may not need a bigger alternator.
If I were you I'd focus on the low hanging fruit. The motor is out, and you have full unencumbered access to the front of the motor. I'd swap out the timing chain and add steel tensioners if the chain had more than 100k miles on it. New oil pump would be in order as well.
Timing chain failures kill about 85% of these motors. Otherwise they go 300k plus until the rings blow out.

im building up more of an expedition truck with a lot of extras. I will be taxing the battery setup either way. I will need the stronger alt I am pretty sure. Hey I have a few friends who are near seattle. Good wheeling? my good friend lives in everett and my brother in law has a bunch of friends and family up there. I am going up there when my truck is done where would be best to look into?

The Walker Valley ORV Park is open year round. You'd probably have the whole park to yourself this time of year.
