low4x4's dual alternator upgrade

[low4x4]

all four batteries will be isolated until being used...there will be a voltage gauge on each one to watch for voltage drops...the key to mine so far is the trickle charger...not in use for a long period, I plug them in....

well finally all the parts are in to upgrade the wiring for the two alternators...but the final touch on the two were chrome pulleys...bought the fan blades too but they were too big

Looking NICE!!! Curious though, is the isolation setup only for running the system with the engine off, so it doesn't run down your cranking batteries? Also, your driver's side alt badly needs the idler pulley relocated closer to alt pulley and down a couple-few inches, the alt has nowhere near enough belt wrap, it's not even 1/4 wrapped. Needs to be atleast half-wrapped in belt at all times to prevent slippage.
