Default Ground issues 92 wrangler.

I have a 92 jeep wrangler and got some ground issues, I read that I should have 3 grounds from the battery 1-to the frame ,1- to the engine, 1-to the firewall. Mine doesn't have one to the frame but it does have one to the alternator. They look to have been replaced before. Do I need a ground to the frame? And does the ground from the alternator supposed to go to the battery?

Everything should be grounded to each other. If the battery is grounded to the frame then everything can go to the frame as a central point then to the battery. If you do add more grounds try to steer away from the cheap grounding strips that the factory uses and go with like a 4 gauge wire to ground it all out
