got er runnin....
called the yota dealer and was quoted about $28 for a fj40 belt w/no ps, which i think would work, but i didn't want to drive and spend that much. went to carquest and bought a 50" 1/2" width belt, which is basically the same as the a/c belt on the cruiser. it works, but the belt is pretty loose, since it is not as wide or thick. i have the alt tensioned as much as it will go and its still loose, but i drove it around and it doesn't seem to be slipping. its been a while since i drove w/o power steering though, so that was fun. i think its good enough to get me from austin to san antonio. then i can just park her in the garage and save up some $ and time to get a "new" smog pump or buy one them there pulleys from tlc.
