I haven't finished up just yet. Although I'm going with military top terminals and 2 AWG wiring.

Made them myself. I picked up some hydraulic crimpers and went to town. Crimping > solder. If you do the charge wire you'll need a Fuseable link in route of your alternator charge wire. The factory wire already has it in route. Where the fuse box link is it'l fit right in there. I grabbed a 175 amp. However I'd use a 150 if you plan on doing 4 awg.
This is a good webpage for the wires.

I started my flush today. I knew there was some junk up in the filler neck. You can see what I dug out in the first picture. When I removed the expansion tank to drain it. There was soo much of that junk in there it clogged the tank! Is it stop leak? It has a consistency of silt and mud.
Funny thing is my coolant was was actually fairly green (losing transparency) until all that other junk got flushed and mixed with it. I'm thinking I should replace my radiator while I'm here. I might do the max-cool 2 row Mopar radiator.

Silicone heater hoses on. I got a radiator on order. So I think I'll run a few water flushes. Swap the water pump when I do the radiator.

Did some night wheeling the other night. Pictures really didn't come out too great. Lightbar ended up actually being a decent purchase. I got through a trail I've been building my Jeep for. I got to about the last car length then needed to winch Although I feel like my Jeep held my own very well, after finding out my buddy had a locked rear. Clay is really nasty stuff!
