Been using one for over 7 years from a 4-runner and it`s bad azz............fires up and shows 14.5-14.7 and powers everything nicely....... Any more specific information on what model 4-runner? dont know much about them but i bet there may be a whole bunch of versions. Also is it internaly regulated? Late model alternator swaps are very intresting.

I use a denso #14611 off ebay. It fits an '87 Toyota Camry. My voltmeter is always at 14 and I've never had to charge the battery, love this setup! Mine's hung off an AR-Engineering motor plate, He also sells the 3-wire pigtail for the denso alternator.

I use the 85A Denso with a external regulator... I prefer the external regulator.. why trash a alt because of the regulator went bad.. plus its a easy test to see if the alt is putting out

Bolt the Denso on and don't look back. Been working working with Denso alternators for over 30 years and seen ONE regulator failure. As much as we use our cars you will never need to buy another one and with Andy's kit it makes for a clean install. Before I got the A/R kit I just used the motor plate to mount it. Mine is off a 91 Toyota pick-up with a 22RE 4 popper. Gus

Was running the 22RE off an 85-92 4 runner (round plug and V belt). 60A and good idle charge characteristics. Andy's brackets.
Just picked up this, but haven't run it yet. Seller also has a 95A unit.
Can't say I'd recommend it yet, "reman-ed" unit was pretty rough, needing heli-coil, etc.

I need to do SOMETHING. I'm tired of the dim lights at idle. I'm not sure I want to rewire the whole dang car, though. The jumper from the alternator to the starter doesn't bother me but... A simple fix is to use the halagon lights.. you dont need to rewire.. they draw way less.. but a new style alt helps out.. I run the denso 85a and run a lot of elec stuff and injection... the volts set at 14.7 at idle EDIT I run this light on my Rampage.. its bright and has a perimeter of white leds and a inner small light that I also have hooked up to my turn signal

Dim lights at idle is the whole reason why I came up with the Denso swap kit years ago. The Mopar alternator is very lazy at idle while the Denso cranks out a bunch of amps. Just the difference that 50 years of R&D makes I guess. Plus the Denso alternator is 5 lbs less weight to drag around and it seems to be a very reliable design. My wife has more than 200K miles on her 4Runner and the alternator is still going strong.

Seems like amperage is like money.(there's NEVER enough).
I bought a Powermaster rated @90A and still loose a little ground @idle. Of course my load combined is 46 amps and I have an underdrive pulley. The alt has been measured @ 90 amps when the engine revs some.
Yeah, it's got a smallblock.
