    Some vehicles have pretty good power management that will start shedding loads when battery voltage drops so you can get quite a way if your battery isn't crap but seems like over half the vehicles I get in the shop have crap batteries.
    EPS is typically one of the first things to shut down if the alternator isn't charging, engine is nearly always gona be the last (typically around 10-9v)

    Was it a 2007-2009 FJ? :laugh: Replacing the alternator on my 2010 4Runner was a pain due to all the wiring harness and fluid lines in the area.

    Yes it was!, took me 20 minutes. My electric m12 ratchet was a huge help.
