The bumper is suppoda wrap around the side one of these days. I need to fill the welder bottle though. Im keepin my eye out for an e locker right now, it seems better for a DD. And I decided no on the lift. I wanna SAS later down the line, after I get my 4runner done.

 

Blew the alternator again. IDK what is causin it but, its lasts bout 6 mos. I think it may be s****y rebuillds. Thank god for lifetime warranties. They are a pain to pull though. The only way I have found to get them out is drain the radiator and pull the lower hose or force it out the top

 

You sure you're not dealing with an electrical gremlin somewhere? Bad ground or such? Broken insulation in one of the Alt. harness wires, grounding on something?

In MANY of these rigs, I've only had one parts store alternator go bad out of MANY. I guess it's possible... but I'd hate for you to have to keep doing this....especially out on the trail, eh?

When you return it, ask if they'll load test it for ya and see what it's putting out, if anything. If it's nothing, then I'd guess, if you've dealt with this a few times recently, ... could in fact be a gremlin of some sort, Zach. If it's minimal, 10V or something, ... guess it could be bad ones, hmmmm.

 

I am beginning to think it is a gremmlin. Although, this one will charge at about 2400 rpm but nothing less. Regulator maybe? I wil have them test it to help narrow down what it might be. Thanks Mark!

 

The alt failed the test at the parts store. It was only puttin out like 13.7 amps or something like that. So got it warrantied and itll be goin in tomorrow.

 

Wow, ...... I wonder what's causing that, if anything, within the rig.... Or, whether it IS actually bad alternator #>>???

 

My battery box came in the mail today!

 

Installed, I will eventually powder coat it black and the rising sun will be red

 

Nice tray

 

where's you get the custom laser-cutting done? looks swell!

 

Thanks man!

Thanks! I ordered it from a member over on Marlin. It was $35 shipped (hes in state)

 

Wow, that's SICK! Nice grab, Zach!

 

Yeah, ya jus gotta stick to your guns and follow through.

I couldn't pass it up. Its way better than havin' a ratchet strap holdin it in

 

Here are some pics of my buddys turbo truck with a fresh SAS

 

For your sas you should do a trail-gear. Great brand! They have a lifetime warranty on everything.

If you want a weber redline check eBay or the weber site they have links to used ones on both

 

Hey, ............ dude, ................ over here................ hahahahaha.

Just checkin in, .... looking forward to WHATEVER's next! I'ma just live vicariously through you and many others amongst my Yotatech-family! lol.

 

Thanks for the info lol. The SAS is taking a back seat until I get my 4runner all done and ready to drive.
HEY! How ya been? I'm not really sure whats next for this one. Now that I have it running great where I want it, most of my money is going to get sunk into the 4runner.

 

Got some wheeling in finally. Had a killer time. Go to https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f100.../#post51896954 for pics

 

I decided that I am going to save up for a Blazeland long travel kit for this one. So I have the best of both worlds.

 

LT will be nice.
