i installed a custom made 170amp alternator in mine, barely fits though....had to do trimming on the housing. My dad owns a mechanic shop and he specializes in rebuilding alternators and starters so he helped me out building this for my jeep but i dont think those alternators are worth 400.
(didnt paint it because didnt care how it looked, just how it works)

i run 4 lights on the roof, 2 on the bumper, and a winch. i use the ZJ 136 alt upgrade and it works great. i would also suggest doing a batter and wire upgrade if you are runnin that many amps
