Convert a Delco 10SI alternator to
One of the most frequently modifications that are done to a Willys Jeep is a 12-volt conversion. While a 12-volt generator is an option, most people opt for an alternator and by far the most common is the "One Wire". However, many times the application is considered unacceptable because the alternator doesn't begin to charge until the engine reaches about 3,000 rpm. While this may not be considered a problem in a high revving short stroke engine, on the L134 and L226 3,000 is about the upper limit of where these want to operate. This 'problem' will be addressed later in the page. Domain: http://mightymo.org Rating: (0/5)

Dual Batteries
There are lots of articles out there in print (and on the web) talking about how to install a dual battery system. Not to be entirely identical to all the other articles, I made a few changes to my system. Domain: http://www.sierrajeep.com Rating: (0/5)

Garage remote install
This is one I did a while back and wanted to incorporate it into the site. So heres goes nothing.
I was tired of looking for the garage remote everytime I wanted to open the door. I would find it on the visor where I left it or sometimes I would find it on the floor where I didn't remember leaving it. With the top off and doors off I became really worried that my house would be the subject of anybodys whim if I just happen to loose the remote. So this is what I did to rectify the situation.

Guide to Electrical Conversions in Jeeps
A good electrical system depends on clean sound connections, free of grease, dirt or corrosion. The condition of connections to ground is just as important as the hot wire connection because the current must return to the battery via the ground connection. It is good practice to use a grounding strap between the body and frame, as well as the engine to frame, as both the body and engine are on rubber mounts. The battery should be grounded directly to the engine. Includes info on converting from 6 to 12 volts and 24 to 12 volts. Domain: http://www.novak-adapt.com Rating: (4.5/5)

Hood Lock with Starter Disable
Unfortunately, it is a common fact that Jeeps have become a big target for vehicle theft. I work in a shopping mall. Malls are considered some of the highest theft areas for vehicles. I have a soft top which could probably be cut open with a dull knife. Three strikes against me from the start. I also have done a few underhood mods that I wanted to keep safe.
A friend of mine had his TJ broken in to. He got an alarm, but also wanted a way to keep thieves out from under his hood. He found the Hood Lock with Starter Disable (part # 566T) made by Hornet Auto Security Systems. I once had an alarm in my previous YJ and all it did was make noise if someone opened something. It didn't really protect anything because most people ignore alarms. I wanted to make my stuff secure. This hood lock/starter kill combo does that. My friend ordered several of them and a group of us got together and installed them in our Jeeps. Domain: http://homepage.mac.com Rating: (0/5)

How Fuel Gauges Work
The main impediment to stretching your mileage is the fuel gauge on your car, which makes you think you have less fuel than you actually do. These devices are notoriously inaccurate, showing empty when there are gallons left in the tank and showing full for the first 50 miles.

How Turn Signals Work
To most drivers, turn signals seem pretty simple: You push a lever up or down, causing your turn signals to flash. But there is actually some cool technology at work there. In this article, we'll take a look at the unusual device called a thermal flasher that makes your signals flash, and we'll learn how turn signals cancel themselves after you've made your turn.
