The worst thing is, its an alternator. You just can't predict which make will withstand the peak amperage pulled from the Hydraulic Electric power steering thing.

The damages could be phenomenal if it was at your expense. Replacing a PCM/ECM, and or Battery, or more is not something you have the pleasure of doing for a design fault.

PS - I have seen those videos, and yes you lose the balance of a daily driver. It shouldn't get to the point of extensive modification for off-road purpose only.
