    Shout-out to @chagovatoloco for bringing this upgrade to life.... Suzuki Grand Vitara alternator rated at 105 amps vs. the 60 amp factory alt. Completely bolt-in upgrade after you easily drill out the threaded hole that mounts to the tensioner. Not to mention, this alternator is way quieter than the old one... I imagine with 145k+ miles on it, the bearings along with the windings were starting to wear out.

    Original thread:

    Righteous! Maybe add a link to the mod thread to your post, so I can find out what year Grand Vitara I'm looking for. :thumbsup:

    Hmm, weird. I just got the exact part number he posted from rockauto. It also confirms that it is 105 amps on the alternator itself. Plus, I like Denso stuff

    Weird, I couldn't find it on Rockauto. They had the ones with 80-70 amps. I ended up finding the 105amp Denso on Summit for $92, $30 of which I could get back if I sent in a core, but I doubt I will. By the time I pay for shipping it to them if it hasn't already cost me more than the core return, then I will have burned the rest in gas. I did get suckered into getting something else I've wanted for a long time...an AirRaid induction tube that goes between the MAF sensor and the throttle body. Figure it'll add 50 HP and about a 100 Ft/lbs of axle popping torque, lol.

    Curious why you didn’t go with the Cadillac alternator. It’s rated for 160amps and is basically bolt on minus getting a small wiring harness. Could be for only V6s tho

    Nobody I know likes wiring. If it can be avoided it will be, haha. This is pretty much a plug'n'play mod.

    This was actually the original plan and I even have the wiring adapter, but in reality I don't see myself needing that much charging power. I'm only running a single battery with a winch and a few LED lights that never get turned on so I think this will be plenty for my needs

    It’s literally a plug and play system as long as you buy the $10 harness

    Platform to strap shit to since my spare is a permanent piece. Expanded metal is inherently loud when it gets banged around so I am nervous about how much noise it may make while off-road. If it's loud, I'm cutting it off and it's going into the trash

    I dig the idea. :thumbsup: I wouldn't have used expanded metal though. That shit always rusts and sags between the frames...and of coarse the stuff under it gets rust stained.
