Yeah, we jumped it and let the battery charge up yesterday. Had to put her in neutral to start it, but whatever. So she started up, and i drove her around to the front yard, and then i went back out literally about a minute later to move her back and the battery was drained and i got the clicks

The clicking is actually coming from your starter. If it's stuck or doesn't have enough power it will click. The starter and alternator are pretty close to each other so it can seem like it's coming from the alt but it's the starter. If you look down there and see alot of oil built up on the starter chances are it's bad. But you can take the alternator out and take it to an auto parts store and they will test it for you for free.

The alt is most likely your problem this time.

Without trimming the fenders?

NewJerseyXJ609 04-12-2013 08:08 AM

They would be sweet on a 3.5 you see my 33s and I have a 3 inch lift. You don't have to trim all that much, but you do have to trim to make it work

Lmao!

Well the front is always easy bc you can trim a tiny bit and if it comes out bad you just do it over. Plus you can always get new fenders If it's that bad... The rears are another story. I was scared to do them but I stayed confident and they came out really good luckily. You just have to take your time. You'll get past that phase tho you'll see.
