    400amp alternator

    I would not really rely on their website. These bearings are not anything special. The shop that did mine normally dont do larger alternators but they said they would take a look. He called me back same afternoon said it was done. $80 is sure better than $1500.

    400amp alternator

    My local alternator shop replaced the bearings in mine. Cost $80. Take it off and go visit a couple of local shops and I bet you get some good news.

    102 inch whip antenna

    And in the good nature of is MV'rs making stuff work, I took a $85 trunk lid mount and cut it up and drilled holes in it. Toothed washers are on both sides of each bolt holding down the piece of aluminum repurposed from the S280 shelter and on the hmmwv antenna mount to body.

    102 inch whip antenna

    If you have good contact between them then no you dont have to run a ground between each. Make sure no painted surface is stopping a good ground. Then, I think best thing is to run a braided ground from either the antenna base or the mount directly to frame or battery. I know just about enough...

    102 inch whip antenna

    Absolutley run an extra ground. Here is a couple pics of what I am doing...did this today. One side will have a 2m/70cm non grounded antenna and on other side will be a 102" whip grounded to frame or battery (braided ground cable) trimmed down for 10m. On the whip side, will use a CB antenna...
