The boys are right into it!

First set of photos from Les Richmonds.
Puma 2.2 182,000kms removed.
The first issue with my vehicle in particular is that I have a Mulgo X Box fitted, as well as wiring that was mostly inherited from the original owner that was less than impressive, and embarrassing for me as I never got around to addressing it.
The team will modify their normal centre storage box to suit the X Box, and the relocated wiring loom/modified wiring.
Fantastic!

That is definitely going to be more fun to drive now. [emoji16] Can they relocate the alternator so it's not sitting so low. I think there is a bracket which you can buy so it sits higher up. Better for any dirt, mud or water crossings.

Even with the engine sitting high, the alternator is still right down in the guts.

Sealed alternators have been available for decades and in common use on earthmoving, mining, and construction equipment. That is a meaty looking transmission. Will that be used and adapted to a LR transfer case?

Alternator location on LS3 fitted.

Here’s the actual alternator institu.

If there’s any risk of it taking on mud etc, Ill have a shield made up.
I really don’t think it’ll be an issue.
