Installed the new alternator bracket

Alternator kit had a pulley also. Might use it to have correct belt groove.

Update on the alternator conversion. I started modifying the factory aluminum 60 amp bracket. As mentioned earlier when modifying I had to drill and tap a mounting point for the pivoting side of the alternator. I drilled the hole close but not in the correct location. I could not find a 60 amp...

Found 2 gentleman who are active service in Chattanooga. They came on time worked diligently and finished the job. They were a pleasant change from the usual caliber of people I encounter.

Thank you!

Mogman, Do you know the correct profile for hmmwv?

Yes I ground down the bracket. The idea worked perfectly my execution was another story. You have to grind both sides. I didn't grind the face of the bracket far enough to get proper belt alignment. It could be removed and corrected with more grinding. I had to drill one mounting hole for pivot...

Here's how I did mine last year. I didn't get the holes drilled properly and had wrong offset. I ran it anyway. The alternator started overcharging. I have a replacement Delco and original generator. I'm going to buy another alternator bracket and get it correct the 2nd time.

I ordered 4 springs all the same. I cut one coil from rear. Can't remember what I did on front. I do know i tried to put rears in without cutting. It raised the back off ground when trying to jack a arm up. I since have added a spare ture carrier and the rear sits a little lower than front. I...

I installed the cepek adjustable shocks. To recap, m998, soft top and doors, armada springs, run flats removed, cepek adjustibme set on 2(very soft), sway bar attached, spare tire carrier. The truck rides great, takes speed bumps and bumps fantastic. Offroad is much more pleasant with better...

The wheels looked true when on the balancer. Feliz tires seem to be very reasonably priced...

I have Trail Worthy Fab beadlock inserts on 12 bolts with Goodyear MT OZ, centramatics, and the tires balanced also. The tires are not round and it shows at speed (70mph I have 4 speed). Do the Baja run true? I like the wheels and the inserts so looking for best 16.5 option. I know super swamper...
