    High Output Alternators

    I was going to ask about smaller pullies to give closer to peak amperage at idle. Glad that's a thing. Yes. A big cable wiring overhaul was in the plans. Thanks so much! Excellent. On a side note, since you mentioned your f-150, the new f-150 hybrid has an optional 2400W set up (at idle)...

    High Output Alternators

    Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for! And yes, a good part of the reason I was looking to go 250+ is because that's the only way to get close to what I'd like at idle (at least half of that). The guy who sold me the Jeep pointed me to a local company that did a HO rewrap for him...

    High Output Alternators

    A good pure sine wave inverter is close to 90% efficient. It's Watts_AC/Watts_DC (though it does vary with amount of load). It isn't quite as simple as that though. Your battery (or batteries!) are what really has the ability to handle high peak draw. Alternator mostly tops of the batteries...

    High Output Alternators

LActrical has a 160A on Amazon for pretty cheap ($130) and Mean Green makes a 200A for $400. There are lots of high-output offerings for the 2.5L TJs and of...

    New member! Another '95 Rio Grande!

    New to the forum! I bought her about a month ago with ~150k miles. Pretty immaculate inside and out. Just needs the hood resprayed. Spent her youth being towed behind an RV. I'm letting her "be a jeep." She's already gotten to pull down a few trees and pull a tractor out of a ditch. She's...
