100 amp alternator

Larry,
Sweet job on the alt. rigging!have you thought about rigging up an air compressor for on trail flats and such.Also with that kind of power you could even run one of the welders that the rock crawlers use for on trail repairsWOW! Then with the air system you could throw on a couple impact wrenches and some sockets and be a rolling amphib repair station! You could be really really popular on long treks through tuff country!WOW!!! Talk about possibilities!

No I havent but I did convert a A/C compressor into a aircompressor once on my old '89 fullsize Jimmy. I had the end fittings crimped on to the A/C hose so I could run a compressor pressure regulator and hose from there. Once I found the right terminals the normally 120v AC reg worked fine of 12v dc. Just engage and disengaged the A/C compressor clutch. I never put a tank on it but worked great on demand. Once pressure in hose reached 120psi it would shut down. Worked good. I do have an old A/C compressor in my misc. scrap pile.

As with the welder, I have heard of them and if it would work it would be sweet. I guess I will play with that idea sometime. Should work with jumper cables right? Just ground one side and put welding rod on pos. side????
