Maybe examine the old alternator, see if you and a multimeter can determine why it failed. I went to the autostore to replace the alternator on my Jeep, $219! I took mine apart, did a few simple checks and found the problem was just dirt in the brushes. I fixed it with a toothbrush!
Fwiw, Jeep Wrangler headlights are straight up garbage from the factory. But due to the simple design and aftermarket popularity you can get a really nice set of LED headlights for under $1k. DOT approved with a proper cutoff so you don’t blind everyone on the road.
I also got the 3 year old oil changed and the radiator flushed.
2010 Wrangler Rubicon. The clock spring in the steering wheel went out. Moisture had gotten in, so it needed replacing. Several hundred dollars later I was good to go. A month after that Jeep put out a recall on the clock springs for moisture and offered free replacement. My dealer and I both contacted Jeep to try and get a refund, but they refused.
Only thing i had to keep replacing was coolant hoses, namely the upper radiator hose. One of the guys in my Fraternity had to do the same on his mid 90's as well.
