Marry xmis everyone!
005,
I'm trying to get rid of high amp draw lights. I only have a 94 amp alt. Next is install the 10 led rock lights I have. Then plugs and fix my cold start injector. I just woke up I will try and get a pic of the led rock lights later.

There is a vendor that sells toyota Alternators but he turns them into 130amp alternaors. He is an eBay vendor. If my alternator easnt so brand new I would probably go to him to get a higger output one. If you're interested ask Chefyota4x4 he knows which ebay vendor it is. I forgot to bookmark the link he sent me.

I gave up on the small Toyota alt. they are only 40-60 amp. My buddy has a respun Toyota alt and it does ok. It was just cheaper to go Chevy for me and I can get one at any parts store in stock if needed.

No new real updates on my pig, had to replace the front u-joint. This is the 3rd one in little over a year so instead of a cheap parts store u-joint I'm trying the trail creeper joint. We will see how long this one lasts.

3rd
I had a wheeling trip planed in 4 days and told the wife I was going to go mount my rear winch and that dam saws-all got away from me. Lol
So that started the redo of the cage and back of the truck.

Went wheeling on the 1st (hang over run 2015). Had a good time, beat the ˟˟˟˟ out of my truck. But it didn't brake.
Sold the RE on the 2nd for $800. So the new motor is going it.
Its a 1996 2rz I picked up for cheap. looks to be in really good shape. I going standalone and turbo. This is all new to me so it will be a learning experience!

So as you can see I could possibly have a firewall exhaust clearance issue. So that and the holes and red paint made me want to fix that and patch and paint the firewall.
The wife was in my shop........
Gained enough room for 3" exhaust I think now.

Took the truck to the exhaust shop! Came out good. If your in this area I highly recommend Ira's muffler! (Rob 360-256-0500)
2.5" down pipe into 3" all the way to the dump under the passenger seat with no muffler hopefully it's not too loud.
