The lower pieces bolt to where the original alternator bracket mounted. The upper part bolts to the top of the A/C compressor. Then I used the original alternator mounting bracket and tried to use all the mounting holes on that to bolt to the new angle iron bracket. Then I just did some cross...

Just a little update. Alternator has been working problem free in it's new location for over a year now. I definitely haven't taken it easy on the thing either. Helped my sister's bofriend build a XJ, so of course I've been out a little more than usual, putting our Jeeps to the test. Took this...

re-installing? There was never a splash guard to begin with. Got this Jeep and it was bone stock, so I doubt the first owner took it off. Also, how would that help with muddy water that gets higher then the factory location?

No rocks around here to climb at all, so mudding is what most of the off-roaders do. Other than alternators and an occasional starter, the mud hasn't done too much damage to my Jeep. I don't partake all that often, as my rig is mostly for weekends at the river and camping. Although, it is nice...

Stay out of deep water and mud? That sounds pretty boring. I didn't build my Jeep to be a mall crawler. I build my Jeep to take on anything that I may come across. Which will sometimes be mud and deep water. So when something goes wrong, I do what it takes to make it better and more capable then...

Techno. I've seen those threads and doing it this way seemed to be the cheapest and easiest. No parts to order or anything, just stuff I had laying around. That and I wanted to try this and see what it did. The only other way I would have done it is the way the WJ/TJ has it, but that seemed like...

Replacing the cables and ends is on my to do list with this relocation. As well as re-wiring a few other things that are showing there age.

I'm sick of going through alternators. So I decided I should relocate it so it isn't always getting dunked in the muddy/sandy water that I like to go through. Not only that, but having it down there also leaves it vulnerable to simply being splashed with mud that isn't all that deep. I'm sure a...

Where most people mount the vents, which is around the middle of the hood or a little further back then that. At that spot, the air is just rushing over the hood. Then the louvers facing backwards will cause the air moving over the louvers to suck the air out. The angle of that is made between...

Haven't had the issue lately or the time to really take a good look at it. If it was the mount, why would it not happen when I'm driving? That should cause the engine to shift both directions much more then a gear change would do. Especially since I regularly downshift on hills to use engine...

I'll check the fans and that stuff, I don't think that will be it though. I can be doing anything else and this sound will never happen until I shift between the top four gear selections. Then it happens immediately, right before you feel the shift happen. Not only that, but it also happens from...

This problem hasn't happened for quite a while, but had the chance to catch it today and take a video of the sound. Actually happened again just the other day, but was unable to take a video at the time. http://youtu.be/gERsN2QLbVU With the Jeep in park, I rocked it forward and back to look...

What would cause the radio to cut out then? It only happens when this noise happens and every time the noise happens. So they are surely related. Definitely doesn't seem like a u-joint. I actually just replaced them recently, but will still double check. I'll take a look at the mounts and slip...

Wow, figured someone on here would have had something like this happen before. This problem must be as odd to everyone else as it was to me. Guess next time it happens I will get out and see if I can tell where it is coming from. At any rate, the trans is due for a fluid change. Maybe I'll pull...

Ok, this is a weird one to me. After I do a lot of driving and the Jeep has heated up real good, when I shift from drive to park, there is an odd clang noise and my radio cuts out and restarts. This is when I first noticed it, but it also happens whenever switching between any of the Park...
