I like what I see!

Thanks everyone - I think I know where to go from here. Of all things involved in this swap, the alternator had me stumped! Now to get the fuel system plumbed and see if this thing runs!

I was just coming back to update with what I’ve learned, essentially what you just said. It needs to go to a switched power source. I can either 1) run it through an ungrounded idiot light for resistance, or 2) wire an inline diode between the alternator and power source. Since my YJ has a volt...

Yes, please.

Connecting some dots - with the info from @boogie_4wheel and the picture from @mbryson, I think my white wire serves the same purpose as mbryson’s brown wire (I think the one on the left side of his picture coming out of the plastic connector on the alternator is brown?). Any chance you can...

No, the red and white pigtail is from the Chevy alternator. For further clarification, this is a 1979-ish 4 bolt main 350 that has 80’s Chevy TBI components on it. Hence the older style alternator. The only remaining YJ wiring in the engine bay is what comes out of the bulkhead by the brake...

Thanks for the diagrams! Just to clarify, I’m running an older alternator with a pigtail like this: I know what to do with the red, I just can’t figure out where the white wire needs to tie into the YJ bulkhead/harness. All of the other TBI wiring is self contained in a standalone...

I feel dumb for asking but.... Chevy TBI 350 into 1988 YJ (previously 4.2L) swap question: I’m finishing up the engine wiring and have one straggler - two wires coming out of the Chevy alternator pigtail, I understand the red goes back to the battery, and the white goes to the volt gauge/dummy...

I’ve used these with good success. Looks pretty similar to the Trail Forged. https://www.barnes4wd.com/1-14-12-Hex-Right-Hand-Thread-Tube-Insert-for-1-12-Inch-ID-Tube_p_443.html

I might be interested in the skid plate if you’ll separate. I’m in Montrose. Probably best that you just call or text since I don’t have much time to spend on the Internet lately. 928-814-6533 Chris

Looks amazing - nice work!

Sorry if the foul language offends anyone, but this showed up in a FB classified page and thought it fit perfectly in this thread. Wondering if this was @Greg messing with a low baller?!

I just bought this because I didn’t want to take a chance on their crack-prone aluminum cell. https://www.rciracing.com/rockcrawler.html I haven’t actually filled it and run it yet, so I can’t speak for the longevity. I will say that I was less than impressed with the finish work around the...

Anxiety is a tough one, something I have been living with my entire life. There’s been a lot of good advice shared and I applaud you for recognizing it’s not something you can just “get over”. I too have that general “get over it” mentality about life, but learned the hard way when I tried to...

Tired of tripping on this stuff in my garage. Located in Montrose, CO Jeep YJ tailgate, straight & rust free: $20 Jeep YJ sun visors: $5 Jeep steering wheel/center caps: $10 wheel, $5 each cap Jeep XJ steering column w/key: $20 Jeep XJ intermediate steering shaft: $10 or $5 with column...

that first picture of it in my garage makes me cringe - so cluttered! I’ve been keeping in touch with him to follow progress, and he’s done a great job. Much better than I could have done. Makes me wish I’d kept it and built it, but it just wasn’t the right fit for us and our plans of wheeling...

Nothing wrong, I was doing some looking around and found some numbers that made me believe the 99’s aren’t the most desirable as far as performance goes. I guess I sort of talked myself out of it.

I passed on this 99 engine as well. We'll see if anything else pops up and how I proceed.

I agree. I already have the 4:1 D300, so that is why I was going to stick with it for the time being. If I didn't have either, I'd definitely just go Atlas. I still may just sell the D300 and put that towards the cost of the Atlas. I'm at the point that I need to buy coilovers too, so the budget...
