ot my Nissan Quest Alternator today. I found a good deal on ebay and ended up being the only bidder :).

Figured I'd upgrade now before putting on the winch and I know I'll want lights for my Shrock bumper. Still saving up $$ for a new battery.

I've got the stock alty off (man is it dirty!) and just silicone sprayed the heck out of the new one. Next step is mounting, which hopefully won't be too much of a pita.

:D

It wasn't too bad at all. It fit without any modification (I'm not sure why some people say they had to grind down the mounting points.)

The only problem I did run into, however, was that the screw for the ground wire is smaller on the new alternator. Luckily I had a screw with the correct thread, just too long, after grinding it down a little it was fine.

Here's some pics
