Seems like a decent product as long as you don't need to deal with the customer service. Apparently the company owner has a tendency to just call you an idiot.

Yeah, that's all I was able to find about them too. Products look nice, some people claim that they don't produce 14V at idle but only like 12V. Only seen the review for Tacomas no reviews for the XJ model. Might try one.
I bought a K Suspension 136 A a couple years ago and it produces a "whirring" sound at idle that is annoying but it works great. I have to replace the AC compressor and figured it might be a good time to swap alternators again to get rid of that whirring noise.

Bosch makes alternators that fit on XJs without grinding the bracket.

Actually had a question re Bosch in my other thread: can we use Bosch style alt in the XJ or only Denso? As in: does Bosch style alt have an internal regulator?
