the stock ones are pretty weak- I've seen threads over at a great big xj site that explains different options for them- one guy used an alt. from a durango or something.

ya you can use a durango alt. but you have to grind a section off of it to make it fit. I think it is very easy. __________________ '99 XJ, 5.5" lift, 33" MT's '11 Dodge Charger I miss the days that they made toys that could kill a kid. Support our Troops My Pics and Specs My Build Thread
