One of the few items left to address under the hood of our Project Scrambler is the electrical system. We were still using the original 42-amp alternator and small group-24 battery, which isn't exactly the electrical power one dreams of. With a winch on the way, we were going to need to upgrade the charging system to operate the winch and to increase reliability while venturing far from civilization. One call to Wrangler Power Products solved both issues. We have dealt with Wrangler in the past and their products are very high quality and we didn't even consider calling anyone else. Steve at Wrangler recommended the dual battery tray, isolator relay, and 100-amp alternator. In less than two hours we had more than doubled our Scrambler's electrical output and storage. Follow along as we install all of these electrical goodies.
So far this setup has performed flawlessly and we have every reason to expect it to continue to do so. There is no longer any doubt that when the key is turned, the starter will receive plenty of juice to turn the engine over. The peace of mind that comes with this setup (especially when far from civilization!) is well worth the investment. Visit www.wranglernw.com, or call them at 800/962-2616 for more information. A WranglerNW alternator (175-amp) was also installed into Project '97 TJ, click here for more information.  Evaluation:
