    Sooo when are they gong to mass produce these?

    I want a rolocated alternator!!!!!! (I have fried 3) Does that bracketry line up with the stock sized alt? Looks bigger but if you made your own and it lines up with the stock size you could make some $ with that setup in the Isuzu offroad community.

    The bracket was a very large and heavy duty welded in piece that they fabbed. It appeared as they had to relocate the radiator hose on that side.
