His prices are very fair; it's just an expensive upgrade.

(I ordered RXJ-242-D(1). B+ to starter, B+ to starter relay/distribution, B- to block, Block to firewall, B- to fender. All 1AWG for my Renix)
I'll probably just go with 4awg should be plenty for my DD.

When I first looked at his site I was wondering why prices were so high until I seen I was only looking on the 1awg side.

Copper is ****ing expensive lol. The power feed for one of our colocated suites was like $50k just for the cables.

4AWG is 88¢/ft at the local Lowe's. Still a good deal. I'm doing 1AWG so I don't have to worry about it in the future.

I'm waiting for the cables. I'm expecting them today, but the weather is pretty crappy. Renix is notorious for bad/insufficient grounds, though. That's half the reason I'm doing it.

You should see the price of the copper bars that I deal with everyday.

1/2" by 8" solid copper bar. Talk about pricey. I can't afford to buy a 1ft section of it.

Some of the civilian contractors where I work take about 10ft of 4/0 copper at the end of each week, and they turn it in for scrap. One day the wrong person is gonna see it, and they're gonna have a bad day.

But we should get back to questions.

Will a stock driveshaft out of my 91 with a 242 fit in my 99 with a 231 ? I'm pretty sure splines are the same, I think it might be too short though.

I put (actually still putting) a 231 with sye in the 91 and its got brand new joints in it. My 99 could use some new ujoints on the rear driveshaft.

My Jeep smells of burnt clutch after driving it through my neighborhood, and I've been going easy on it. Should I be looking forward to getting a new one soon? It's a POS light-duty one anyways so I'm more than ready to replace it with an HD one.
