I just installed a battery cable upgrade kit from https://www.custombatterycables.com/jeep-wrangler/
🔔 Please CLICK THE BELL if you want to see my videos! 🔔
From their website:
Our cables are built from cast copper terminals using 2 gauge or optional extra heavy duty (XHD) 1/0 (“one-aught”) SAE SGT battery cable for the starter and engine block ground and #6 (or #4 gauge with XHD option) wire for the fuse block or body ground wires. This is larger than the stock wire to lower resistance and improve cranking. A high temp SGX wire is also optional. We seal the connection with heavy wall adhesive lined heat shrink. In the picture at left, compare the thickness of the wires. Note the stock cable doesn’t have any heat shrink sealing the connection. Anti-corrosion bolts and battery washers are also included.
All the positive cables come with a starter lug cover. Covers for the battery terminal ends are available for an extra $5 each.
Fuse block cables are larger wire with heavy duty ends for lower resistance (#4 wire shown).
The stock 2-hole fuse block connector has the battery cable and the alternator wire ganged together. We replace that by separating the wires and putting a heavy duty 90 degree end on each one. Together, the 2 cables work to replace the goofy Jeep 2 hole connector.
The result -A perfect fit!
The Wrangler cable set includes a positive battery cable with starter lug cover, negative battery cable, an alternator cable with fuse link, anti-corrosion battery washers and anti-corrosion battery and terminal ends.

Hey bug... cracked me up!
ReplyDeleteNice upgrade.
ReplyDeleteas always, good job. Great post
ReplyDeleteThanks. "Great post" --- which one, the positive or negative? LOLOL horrible dad battery joke. hahaha
ReplyDeleteGreat Video! How could someone give you a "Thumbs Down"?!
ReplyDeleteLOL... I often wonder that myself. I think I just have people that don't like me and just subscribe to thumb me down. I wish you had do say why. Was it the video quality? Was it the presentation? Was it incorrect? heh... most times... they think the product is too expensive, or it was on a different Jeep than they have, or something else entirely unrelated to me or my specific content. I try not to let it bother me...but I'm not gonna lie.. sometimes it does. I don't think people realize there is a human being behind these videos.
ReplyDeleteo3djeeps [ OVERCLOCK3D Jeeps ] well.... for what's it is worth, I appreciate what you do. Gives me a little more confidence to delve into a project.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a video on how to remove the cowl? I need to work on the wiring for my KC lights on my windshield pillar.
ReplyDeleteyou do good work CP0.
ReplyDeletelove the detailed quality of your videos!!
cheers
Nice job! The new cables look heavy duty.
ReplyDeleteI think there are a group of people that dislike every video. As my mom anyways said " you can't like everyone". Just laugh it off, you're doing a fantastic job on multiple levels.
ReplyDeleteThere's term for it...TROLL. It's really bad with folks related to hunting and fishing channels. My Backyard Critterz Channel got Trolled quite bit. Remember this is CB radio for the new millennium. You can be a real Bada$$ when you're faceless.
ReplyDeleteIs that Bug from Uncle Buck? LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks Chief, a though in depth tutorial however you never mention cost. What did it cost for the replacement cables? I have been adding accessories to my Jeep little by little and it may be prudent to follow your example and upgrade the conductors.
ReplyDeleteGood Lord, here I am getting zero gauge wires for my amps with factory battery cables. Good vid, sir. Thanks.
