I'm so sorry for your father and that you had to be seen next to a JL.
What did you do to your JK today?

I can’t say too much as we have a JT. It pulls the camper nicely. Also pulled our son’s JKU on a flatbed Tuesday from Lake Tahoe. It did pretty good but I’m sure it was at the limit for its capacity.
Swapped the alternator for a new one. First time I've paid attention to it being backwards. The hardest part of the swap was the stupid hydraulic belt tensioner.
The factory one lasted 225k miles. I guess it was time.

My belt just started making some noise so I'm going to change it. I've heard the tensioner is a pain but I'm about to experience it for myself!
It is a PITA by yourself. It's doable by yourself (ask me how I know
) but would be 1,000x easier with another set of hands to slip the belt off a pulley while you hold it. The longer 1/2" breaker bar you have the better too for more leverage.

I've had one of these for almost 15 years and I must say it's made life a lot easier when dealing with ANY part of the pulley system.

I know I'm probably late to the party and I'm ashamed to admit my wife founds this but dang it works!! Fixed 2 vents in her JK in 5 minutes!!!!

It’s certainly doable by yourself. I agree though need a long bar of some sort to get the needed leverage.

Her JK
Well she is driving it daily now.
Plus it's the only way AndyG will talk to me
Does AndyG know you are talking about him?

Well he knows I talk about him all the time........
But I doubt he knows this time, and we need to keep it that way
