Thanks for all the compliments guys. I just want to try an contribute as much as I take from this site.
Today's project is putting 2000 celica bucket seats in the truck. Got a really nice pair for $100. Thinking of doing a write up but don't know ow interested everyone would be since is specific to a certain kind of seat.

I swapped in a TC seat(VERY nice quality, but too dense of a foam for me)... So, eventually just had my Orig SR5 87 4Runner seats welded/repaired a lil bit and slapped it back in, using 1" HD foam from Joann's Fabrics in spots, etc. WAY comfy now, lol.

Celica; Nice Seats...... but the mid 90's ones were too small for me(narrow in the bolsters). I wonder what the 2000 seats look like, INTERESTED! Lol.

As promised...Here is the info on the celica seats
The seats took little modification. Drilling a few new holes and making two brackets out of angle iron. Overall it took me about a half a day.
Seats re fullly adjustable and by far my favorite mod so far.
Below are pics. If anyone wants more specific details about them i will be more than happy to take pics of the exact mounting.
Custom mounting brackets.

my 1993 4runner is only 60 amps.. I dont know how it could run what it runs but it does. Rockauto has a few listed to confirm this thought. I have been trying to figure out how to get my hands on a turbo supra alternator. It should be a 100 amp model from 1993 that should just bolt in.. no mods on the v6 at all.

Well I got that alternator. And I have a 94 22re, it bolts in....but the plug is not the same. Have to call a dealer and see if they have one

My alternator finally gave out and took the belt with it. So I'm without a vehicle but I got my hands on a Jag alternator... But my pulley won't fit. Having one of those days
There's a huge difference on inner diameter of the two pulleys. Any suggestions?

**be careful not to go too far...the pully will not work backwards, and you will have to source a new pully**
My install went pretty much flawlessly, however be sure to plug up the alternator BEFORE mounting to the brackets...the hard water line makes it near impossible on the 22re's.
One thing i noticed with my alternator (from a junk yard) was that idle Amps's were a little low...I'm thinking this because the yota pully is larger than the factory Jag serpentine pully?
IS there a company that makes a small diameter factory V-belt pully to bolt up to these alts to turn more RPMs / higher Amps at idle speeds?
Maybe the alternator I have is just wore out....
Hope this helps the 22RE guys out

Dixie... The hard water line/lower hose supply line from the block... Where the alternator is... It's really tough to get this alt. in due to that? You said, "Plug it up"... meaning? Sorry man... not trying to be dense. Curious, ...but I just don't know exactly what you mean. (it's been a rough.......year! haha). Thanks, Dixie... BTW, love the lights!

Thanks Dixie!
Chef, he means plug the 3 pin wire harness into the alternator before mounting it to the engine. It's a tight fit to get it plugged in even on the stock alternator.
In favor of having a truck to drive, I gave up, returned my Jag alt., and got a lifetime Toyota alternator from Pep Boys. It was $83 and I found a $20 off $100 coupon so I got some supplies too. Bottom line, it was cheap and fast, but nly 60 amps. 8(
Oddly enough even the stocker gave me a few small hedaches when installing--but not so many that I couldn't get it done. The truck runs way better now, my old alternator had a horrible drag.
I will just uprgade the alternator to the Jag, or do a Chevy conversion when I need it--and have the time!
Just for anyone doing the Jag install... I got my Jag alt. from Pep Boys and feel it was a good deal on a lifetime warranty alternator. For some reason the spindle for the pulley was larger. Maybe this is because they replace everything when they remanufacture it, so they use different parts. Maybe a cheaper reman that only replaces wear parts will retain the stock spindle? I dont know for sure. Either way, keep pulley fitment in mind when sourcing your alternator.
Dixie, I agree that the factory serpentine pulley on the Jag is what is affecting your idle amperage. I don't see why a smaller V-belt pulley wouldn't solve this issue.

Morton.... (how you been, btw~! 
) ..... I was wondering if you saw where I asked... What about the MR2 Alternator? Isn't it 120A and plug and play.... for the most part? I will search it out, but I see them all the time at Pick'your'part,...and with a brush replacement, maybe a lil work, I'd be done, VOILA! haha. JK, most things aren't that easy, at least very often.. But why not look into it, right? haha.
