I went for the 150 Amp '03-'07 Sequoia alternator for my '99 UZJ100 after reading this thread

https://forum.ih8mud.com/100-series-cruisers/409471-alternator-replacement.html

Per one of the postings on above thread (#15, from Beno), ordered connector plug 90980-11349 from local Toyo dealer ... WRONG plug!! Parts guy at dealer sez I can only get the plug as part of entire new harness!!

Anyone have a good part number or source?? Already been down 5 days waiting for the alt and the wrong connector, not really wanting to try to return mail ordered alt and start over!! :bang:

Let us know how it works out!
 
Update

Installation of Sequoia 150-amp Alt in my LX470 completed successfully! So far so good, its charging and running great.

Followed the instructions from https://forum.ih8mud.com/100-series-cruisers/409471-alternator-replacement.html and from Spressoman's 80-series installation thread (a couple of posts above) and got it done in an afternoon.

I had to unbolt the PS pulley, not sure how some other posters were able to get their Alt out without doing that step. But didn't have to do anything with the radiator or hoses to snake the old Alt out the bottom -- except bruise up my right hand!

That connector was a *****! Pretty much destroyed the old one trying to pry it out, but that wasn't a problem because the new connector had to be installed to fit the Sequoia Alt. It looked like it had loctite or something like that in it (some kind of blue stuff).

The wires were different colors than shown on the Spressoman thread (and I could not find my FSM Wiring book, @#$%!), but if you pay attention to which wires were on which pins, the connections were the same order as shown on the Spressoman thread, and the old stock Alt had a pin diagram on the i.d. plate.

The new 4-ga power wire, fuse, and fuse holder were easily sourced from local car stereo shop, about $50 total for 10' of wire (needed about 9'), fuse, fuse holder, and connectors. I ran the new power wire on the same route as the old, used zip ties to piggy back it on the old cables.

I did not mess with the stock wiring. I simply ran a new, extra, 4-ga fused power line with 180-amp fuse.

I'll let you all know if any problems come up.
