There's probably some higher rated alt from a Tundra etc. that would have a winch that can be adapted.

Ive searched and the highlander alt is for the v6 motor, I have the 2az four banger...
sooooo as far as I know, there is nothing else other than a
custom ordered one that will be a direct bolt on??

the highlander came in a 2az form as well
i would think they would have a higher powered one compared to our solara ones also?

Iraggi has different amp alts for the 2az. It depends how much you willing to spend

I thought our gen 2 solaras were underpowered! to think that Toyota
threw the motor into a highlander too? geez.
thanks for the info everyone. Ill look into in highlander but I believe I will
go with the Iraggi alt instead.

I know that using a Capacitor, like a 1mf. It does take some strain off the alternator. The capacitor is like a battery itself. It stores then releases energy. Just don't get shocked. It hurts
