Thoughts? If there was real trouble, would it not have blown a fuse before frying something??? AHHH, I am such an IDIOT!!!!!

"My vote is to keep a flashlight in your vehicle. And if unsure about something on a expensive vehicle, don't do it."
Thanks for the Monday morning quarterbacking! I already admitted I am an idiot. I've worked on cars as long as I have owned them, and even before. This was a stupid mistake.
The reason I am asking is that I am taking about a 1000 mile round trip in this LX next week and wanted some constructive and serious feedback on what, other than the battery and alternator, is likely to have blown, if anything.
Wouldn't the fuses prevent any system damage past the alternator and battery?
Thanks!

My experience indicates that any improper crossing of the cables provides instantaneous negative feedback informing one of the error in cable orientation.

Oh well, it will probably let go on the way to the beach next week with 2 screaming kids in the back seat and a pissed-off wife riding shotgun!
As long as you get some miles on it this week and everything seems normal I wouldn't be too aprehensive about taking it for the trip. It'll still be more reliable than the recipient of the charging. ;p
You better not take that 1000 mile trip without a flashlight and other necessities. That was the true lesson!

If you question the condition of your 100 battery or alternator, most Toyota dealers will do a checkup for you for free - especially if you are a regular customer or buy an oil change. Since it appears to be running fine, I would be more worried about the impact on the Heep.

We'll see if I make it on this trip. If I don't have any problems over 1000 miles, I think the 100 will be okay. Although I may have to replace the alternator a couple years early.

Go get it checked at any battery store, it's free and they can check the battery and alternator in about 1 minute. Better then breaking down on the road.LXPearl, I think you are right. I had to put a new battery in the Heep today. It had a fried cell. If anything, it protected the rest of the Heep's electrical system by drawing off all of the current the 100 was putting out. I imagine I took some life out of the LX alternator and maybe its battery, but I feel a bit better now than I did when this first happended.Thanks to all for the input.

Your LX alternator put out ~80 amps and stopped putting out anymore current. Your LX batt continued to put out ~500 amps [this is a guess] into the defective jeep (old) battery. There was no connection between the two vehicles. I.E., the load was the jeep battery and the source was the LX battery. On my battery system, a direct short = 2500 amps. On your system mistake ,an easy 500 amps short to the LX battery; which will burn up #4 gauge wires in 10 mins or so. Or "blow" up the jeep battery. Consister your jeep battery as a big resistor across the LX battery. As it disappates the current from the LX battery, the cables can't handle the current and overheat. The same thing happens when u start the LX. There is #4 cable (black - neg) to the block; and #4 cable to the starter device. The starter "can" pull ~300 amps; but it only does so for around 2-3 seconds, and the wires don't even give a dam.
What really creates the problems is when the connections are made with the jumper cables. Fuse Link named "MAIN" is connected to the ECU. A weird spark or voltage spike can do bad things to the ECU. It rarely does anything bad to the Denso Regulator system on/in regulator. If the voltage, on the LX, is reading around 14.5 volt while running, there is nothing wrong with the LX system.
Enough babble
