Bigger alternator will help if you add another battery. I've been running two amps in my jeep and Lexus with no problems. I did add a capacitor to my Lexus. I probably would invest in think power cables, capacitor and optima battery. That is unless your going to compete with this vehicle.
Upgrade the alternator, and you need to upgrade all the cables and the main fuse too, otherwise it does nothing at all.

I just had an idea for doors. Make tube doors. Then mod a factory door so it can attach to the tube doors somehow so you don't need to keep swapping them out, or can easily go back and forth from full to tube doors. Anyone want to help me Fab it this summer?
