This year, I needed my (original) alternator replaced.
Reviews of spare parts for Toyota
Our best selling light truck tire is by far the Wildpeak AT4W. It's a great all around tire that also looks good and wears very well. They are not the best tire in the snow but they still do pretty well. For an all weather passenger car tire the Falken Aklimate is also very hard to beat. I pulled off a set of 7/32nds tread depth Firestone ft140's off my little daily driver corolla and put a set of those on. The difference in snow traction is unbelievable. I drove home from work tonight on 5" plus of unplowed snow and was at times dragging the belly on my little car. It just chewed right along with no issues. With the firestones I still would have made it home, but a couple of stop signs that I had to stop at and take off going uphill would have required running the stop sign and hoping no-one was coming in order to do so. The Aklimates just bit in and dug through everything.
My full list for my 2 inch lift on my 2013 :
Bilstein 5100s , OME 2886 , JBA Off Road High Caster Upper Control Arms , and Ironman 4x4 Medium Duty Leaf Springs
If you're OK with aftermarket, then these Moog should be just fine.
I have a 2024 Toyota Corolla Hatchback XSE and I couldn\u2019t believe how bright the lights were when I first drove at night. I had to pull over because I thought the high beams were on accidentally.
The large frame alternator from a 1997-2001 Camry with the 2.2L(5S) will fit the Celica with minimal modifications. I had to grind the staked washer on the alternator a bit on the pivot side, and unbolt the bottom of the adjuster bracket to let it slightly swing out. Result is a 220A alternator in my 6th Gen to power the upgraded sound system without my lights flickering.
I bought Michelin x-ice stock size, stock alignment. I found it cut a lot of power from wheel spin on a dry warm day. They did handle well in bad weather.
I did exactly one road / camping trip in my Gen 2 Tundra with the stock BFGs. I got 19 mpg highway. I also got stuck in the desert.
One this I did notice. Your belt is a gates t240, when I bought my truck the previous owner had that belt, and I found issues with it. The proper belt for mine is a gates T154. 154 being for 92 and earlier and 240 for 93 and up.
I think the third gen is pretty worthless if it has a third gen motor given the head gasket issue.
