im runnin the gm alternator in my samurai but its also powered by a toyota to so it really is a mutt. also put the field input for it hooked to a switch so i can shut the alternator off in deep water my electric fan is on the same switch i dont know if you guys get into deep enough water for it to matter but its an idea and its easy. looking good though

Used to run one in an '74 FJ40. Not really a fan of deep water, gets in too many greased & lubed places, no matter what I do. But am planning a nsorkel for it & an electric fan. So might be an option.
Just cause I' not a fan doesn't mean I won't though, if the need arises.

Had to improvise, we pulled it so fast that we didn't put it in the shop where I could have hoisted it off. The ladders are rated for 300 lbs each, and with the body only weighing about 500 ( Jay and I lifted the front with our hands), and being supported in the back by the lift, it was good to go. If the body looks heavier than it really is due to the tubing bending, the tubing is 2x2x1/8x 9 ft, so it did bend a little, but was only on the ladders for about 3 minutes...

I'm back from NC & VA Beach!
Did not enjoy cussing a Grand Cherokee for 4 days.
Did enjoy seeing my Daughter, Grand Daughter & my Son home from The Stan! Ate some BA Seafood at a local joint with no frills, fancy names, a wobbling table & no chain name mark up!
Stripped some more stuff this morning, got to help out RangerSVT on his sister's car (brake job).
Will post pics of strip pile tonight when I get home!
Andres, yes I used the sawzall getting out the old exhaust. That's all I'm saying and all you are too! That goes for you too Railman! Hate for your new Grand son to grow up without you!

Jay you need and spare parts motor? I got one sitting here.

That Ex center and arm rest looked like it was in good shape. You already get rid of it? I have yet to find an arm rest for mine that isn't broken.
