What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

The stock one is 150 amp. I was actually looking for a higher output one but couldn't find anything that wasn't questionable or shady. I dont just want a overwound or pulley modified one. I need reliable and whatnot. I run dual AGM batteries, so I figured an HO one might be good. I'll settle for a new denso 150 amp though. Should work. Most of the time I keep my batts charged up with a trickle charger anyway.
This all started about a week ago when I gave someone a jump start. I have since heard that it is possible to kill an alternator jumping someone. (I swear I did it by the book too). Anyway.. i bought a "Antigravity Batteries AG-XP-10 Multi-Function Power Supply and Jump Starter" which will replace the standard jump cables in the rig.

Seriously, I can't even remember the last time I had to use jumper cables since I bought the XP-10. Unlike my prior jump boxes, I know the XP-10 will do the job. I suppose I should hang on to the cables as a failover...

I have the xp10 as well and it's awesome. I carry jumper cables too as a failsafe in case the xp10 isn't charged up or something..

I regreased the truck, jacked it up only to find out the wheel bearings are bad after our fun snow run. They are grinding really loud. That'll be the next project.

Hook this baby up to my FJ today. Our new 2017 Turtleback Trailer! So many nice new minor changes. First trip in less than 2 weeks.

Wheel bearing replacement. 1 outer bearing had no grease at all and was all rusty. Looks as if previous owner never did them but now there done and there is a noticeable difference.

Met up with a friend from work that drives an FJ for breakfast and then over to the local Overlander store (MULE Outfitters) to get my install date for some gear that will be posted later and then off to the mountains!! Along the way, used MaxTrax to help out about six different vehicles (among them a JEEP and a SUBARU!!). Gotta tell you how much I LOVE the MaxTrax and how great they worked!! Along the way met a couple of guys driving kitted out Tacoma and 4Runner and the four of got about four cars out from ditches. Was a FANTASTIC day!!
Had a blast and some good pics along the way!!
Got rid of my old steel wheels and picked up a set of gmc take offs that a guy was selling cheap. Plus they came with new tires with only 4,000 miles on them
How about shipping it to the Midwest? [emoji16]

I got my light bar installed this morning, can't wait to test it out tonight!
Finding a good spot to put the switch was a bit of a pain, but I think it turned out alright.

Got my OB badge yesterday and already got it mounted on the truck

Had a fun time today up at
Fordyce Lake in the Tahoe National Forest! Until on the drive home coming over the Sierras, I smelled something hot, then smoke in the cabin! Pulled over and opened the hood and saw my alternator smoking! Good thing for AAA!!!
