CS144 Alternator + Big 3 Wiring Upgrade

Описание: Did our video help you? If so, consider buying us a beer: https://bit.ly/3feE6tJ

In this video we show you how to install an aftermarket, higher capacity alternator (CS144) and add additional heavier gauge wiring ("THE BIG 3") to a 3rd Generation Toyota 4Runner. The stock alternator on this vehicle is capable of 85A, and this will quickly be maxed out when running multiple accessories (i.e winch, lighting, fridge, power inverter, etc). The CS144 Alternator is capable of 140A, which will be more than sufficient for most loads on the system. The CS144 code denotes the case style, which was mostly used in 90's Chevy V8s (most notably a late 90's cadillac).
