Howdy, Really, only 9k? George was on about 16k but then I don't know how many times around the clock that was :wink: What I did with the new alternator is get a bracket fabricated that kind of wraps around its body. On its bottom edge it uses the original mounting lug to anchor, and the adjusting s...

Winch bumpers, returned

I have made a few changes to it, such as replacing the big alternator with a 24V truck one and having t...
