200 Series Landcruiser Alternator Change Out

In this video we undo a few days of muddy bog holes worth of damage to our 200 series Landcruiser charging system, with a new alternator.
Not as bad as we thought to change out, but still a pain.

Thanks for the video, I need install a brushless one tomorrow.

[@DucruznOZ]

A brush less one?? Interesting 👌👌 good luck mate hope it goes smoothly 🍻🍻

[@adamlubke9770]

@@DucruznOZ Yes, a brushless alternator

[@Steve-rs2jq]

Thanks for taking the time to do this.

[@DucruznOZ]

No dramas, I searched and couldn't find anything so figured was a good time to do it ;)

[@johntowe9102]

You hit the nail on the head bro,,, don’t go through them if you don’t need to 👍 good video 👍

[@DucruznOZ]

Thanks mate, they are fun but totally not worth the pain in the butt to limp home and change out, ha ha...

[@iandibley8032]

Spot on John alternator now next the starter motor not an easy job, mud & water in old Hilux or Landie ok not LC 200 full of electronics.

Good video mate. Helpful.

[@DucruznOZ]

No drama's mate, couldn't find anything when I searched for it.... :)

[@Framed1980]

Thanks for this video. I'm doing mine tomorrow.

[@DucruznOZ]

All good mate, not as bad as I first thought it would be ;)

[@Framed1980]

not easy mate. how did you get studs out? with rattlegun on low?

[@DucruznOZ]

@@Framed1980 just with a ratchet, extension and uni joint.... maybe someone had done one in the past and lubed it up for me???

[@Framed1980]

Mines a 2013 so probably cos of age irs harder. Once studs out it misses the plastic low pressure air duct? as mine caught there. Getting a mechanic to help now. lol

Im looking at water-cooled one myself. Cheers Steve

[@DucruznOZ]

Water cooled for the win, but at 2k + it was a bit of a stretch for us 😲😲

[@ausguy4385]

Mudducks did you get it in the end?

@@ausguy4385 Not yet mate, $$$$$$ But one day

[@zoezoe610]

Thanks handy video.

[@DucruznOZ]

Glad it helped :)

[@offroadcrusader]

Great video mate, just watched it as I will need to do my own alternator now from muddy bogholes. Did you do much mud driving beforehand, or was it just the one boghole that killed it? Personally I have done heaps but its only taken one deep one to kill it.

[@DucruznOZ]

Cheers mate, to be honest it was going backwards in the boghole that did it... driving forwards is fine... trying to get a bigger run up and obviously all the water/mud has pushed into the alternator from behind 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@jaredtansley3236]

Absolutely gutted for you brother, we spent alot of money on our trucks and you'd think car manufacturers would have solved the problems nearly 90 -100 years in the game.

[@DucruznOZ]

Yeah it is a pain, but what are you gonna do, ha ha.... take it easy 🍻

[@ahfreebird]

Wish it were that easy on the 5.7 The power steering pump is right on top of the alternator, literally blocking 2 of the bolts holding it in.

[@DucruznOZ]

Oh bugger, typical Toyota putting stuff in "easy reach" places, ha ha 🤦‍♂️

[@RelixAz]

Is old the alternator rebuildable?

[@DucruznOZ]

Yeah, the brushes get stuck (they are spring loaded) so if you can free them up it should be good to go. I did it with this one and now it is my spare ;)

[@RelixAz]

@@DucruznOZ having a Spare anything is a good idea.

[@tierandonnelly1420]

how did you get and EGT on your ultra gauge

[@DucruznOZ]

it is in one of the input selections you can choose when setting the main screen. When you customize the main screen to have whatever inputs just find EGT or Bank 1 exhaust :)
