Who is IIRC? I looked up Amayama online and I searched for my FJ 80 engine hood cover on their website. At first it said it was gonna be $656 with shipping And then I refresh the page and looked again, and it said they would ship it for $122 total with everything. That was strange The first...

I've just heard that AGM's have more capacity. Maybe that's not true? A battery dealer told me that. But regarding the first question, about charging capacity needed for AGM batteries. I was still wondering if the stock alternator on my 1996 FZJ80 puts out enough juice to adequately charge the...

Good information, so I have a 1996 FZJ80 , does the stock alternator put out the correct voltage to maintain an Odyssey, or other AGM batteries like the X2 from Batteries Plus?

A man called from the parts department of Toyota of Decatur, told me that sometimes it is the Browser that is the problem. He said Safari on Cell Phones sometimes causes a glitch in the system, he said use Google, Chrome, or Bing. I just use Safari and Opera, so maybe that is the problem. Maybe...

Thanks Kernal. I bought the OtayAuto because I couldn’t find any Toyota dealerships that had that part. All the ones I called said it was unavailable. I wish I had seen these links you sent before I bought this chyna junk. It works but I modified my clip to make it fit. Now that’s jacked up...

The Otayauto one doesn’t fit the plastic male to female electrical connection. I wish I had not bought it. Totally different female end. Doesn’t fit.

Thanks !!!

I called around to a few Toyota Dealers parts department and they all said this part is no longer available anywhere according to their parts search engine I might try the Lexus part option link that ‘ gemsec’ posted here. Anyone else know of any other fixes? Not interested in trying the...
