    Anyone upgrade their inverter? If so what did you do?

    How about alternator? Anyone know a good high output alternator brand?

    Seems like it would be cool to have maybe 1,000 watts of AC. could run an extra outlet.

    This would also free up a switch on the dash. Wouldn't need the stock inverter switch.

    If you’re planning on using the existing wiring, ensure it’s up to the task, if there are increased amperage loads. Good luck.

    No need for a new alt in a lot of cases. I can’t speak exactly for Toyota but in the past I have had factory Chevy and ford alt rebuilt up to 120 amp.

    I to a new alternator to a reputable Alternator shop. He was able to take the 120 amp stator out and swap in a 240 amp stator from I believe the Sienna. Same case as the stock alternator so it installs easy. No finding a different belt.
    I did install the voltage booster and I run 2 group 31 Odyssey batteries one for starting and the other for my sound system. I'm getting 14.2 volts.
