Yep, we have a member that did it. Check out this :link: (http://www.xjtalk.com/showthread.php?t=6310&highlight=alternator+upgrade)

It's great that you asked since I'm getting ready to do this to mine during an engine swap.

While we're on the topic... Is there somewhere on the alt that shows the output like a sticker or a plate with the specs? I looked at a few in the jy the other day and couldn't find anything to indicate the amperage. Maybe I just missed it somewhere.

I have not seen that info on any alt even new. Some rebuilders will sometimes record output after bench testing. I have seen this upgrade before and my rebuilder suggested it because i will be running a winch and lights. So nows the time. Pulled it apart tonight and modify bracket tomorrow.
