Looks like you have some hills to ride around there.

Me too

I'm putting a TDI in my 51 Willys truck. Interesting to see what you are doing. I bought adapaters from coty built - they are very well done. I'm putting a 3550 transmission in along with the bell housing, clutch and transfer case from an 05 YJ.

I just put a new post in as well. It looks great. .... Bob in Calgary, Alberta

Hey Falcon,
How did you setup your alternator exciter wire? What is a work around to connect and give power to the blue exciter wire to engage the alternator. My Isuzu does have a cluster light but it connects from ignition to ecm.Not sure but I guess I could test the amp on this wire and if sufficient I could tie end.

My jeep is using a basic GM 1-wire alternator. I just have the main wire going to the battery/ammeter and the other post for the "gen" wire jumer back to the charge post..... Im assuming you are using the VW or Izuzu alternator??

I am using the VW alternator. On the Isuzu a black/yellow wire connects from switch to fuse to dummy light to red/wire connects to ecm. Thanks

I imagine yours to be the lone TDI powered jeep. Saw one like yours, red, for sale in Northern Michigan this summer.

Yeah I have yet to see another. I know a guy building one now. There was a guy with a kubota powered cj5 at the show last year. It was really nice.
