    New Alternator Recommendations?

    Have had a few bad remans lately for other projects, and satisfied with stock configuration, so what I am asking is: What new alternator manufacturer have you had good experience with? (2006 Rubicon 4.0)

    Structurally Sound Rock Sliders

    It looks like the $200-$300 rock sliders tend to be body mounting and will not offer full protection. The obviously more serious sliders seem to run around $400-$500. Are there protective, frame-mounted rock sliders at a lower price?
