Hi Guys,
I am fitting a 1uz to my 91 hilux 2x4 and the alternator is fowling on the steering box. Has anyone had this problem and if so how did you overcome it?
Hi Cav079,
quite a few hilux conversions have faced this problem, and it can usually be solved one of two ways:
The first is to make a stand off that spaces the steering box out from the chassis rail by about 10mm. The second only works if you aren't running the AC compressor, and that is to relocate the alternator to the other side. Here's a pic of what i fabricated up a few years back (hope the attachment works): http://lextreme.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=3820&d=1149195580
