Aftermarket 100A single wire alternator

Anyone used one of these before? We're looking at fitting it to a P76 in an FJ40 that currently has no loom and a 45A Lucas alternator.

Are they any good for a 4x4?

I would think its more show pony stuff and probably not sealed enough for off road conditions.

Try for a Range Rover or Land Rover alternator. They are available in 100amp and used sealed bearing etc and of course should fit the P76 engine without too much bother.

Haha, I might want a show pony, or a mall crawler...

Comment noted and will look into it, thanks.

nah, you don't want it for a show pony otherwise you wouldn't have asked if it was good for a 4x4 on an off road forum.

I got one of these that I fitted about 2 years ago. Has been under water a couple times and loads of mud and shit covered it and it works sweet as.

Thank you.

Also looking at a Bosch 140A, just need to figure out the wiring.
