Hello! Just hoping to see if any T100 "with the 3.4L "owners could possibly post a pic of there A/c idler pulley bracket. Here is my situation, I have a 03 Tacoma 3.4L and I purchased a new A/C compressor years ago. Turns out, it was the wrong compressor. It is for the 3.4 T100s' & Tundras with the 3.4L. The compressor mounting points are identical, the only difference is, my Tacoma has a 5.5 inch clutch/pulley and the new one for the T100 & Tundra is 5 inch. Already checked on switching clutch/pulleys and they are not interchangeable. So, I checked A/C compressor belt sizes. According to advanceauto the T100/ Tundra belt is 33.86 OD. The Tacoma is 34.25 OD. So, that almost makes up the half inch difference in the pulley size. I started looking up A/C idler bracket part numbers. They match for the T100/Tundra but again, different part number for the Tacoma. I use to have a T100 a couple of years ago but sold it. I am hoping someone would be kind enough to post a pic of there idler pulley bracket so, I can compare it to my Tacoma. I do know the idler pulleys for all 3 have the same part number. I can't return the compressor because, to much time has past and i have tried selling it on craigslist & Ebay with no interest. Why Toyota had to change things between them is a mystery to me. Thank you in advance for any help with this!!!

did you ever figure this out?

Yes, I found a seller on ebay that had both brackets for sale. One for Tundra & T-100 and one for the Tacoma/4runner. He said he held them together and they are identical in his opinion. I haven't finished the A/C on the Tacoma yet but, I bought the A/C belt that is for the Tundra/T-T100. I believe that this set-up will work on the Tacoma using the Tundra/T-100 compressor and A/C belt. If you don't see a update in the coming weeks. Ask again if it worked. Then I will remember to update.

This site has been awesome! I used it more for my T-100. Since I no longer have it I find myself using Tacomaworld more. Your right though! We need to keep Yotatech more active!
