Planning on doing the big 5 upgrade and need to know the lengths of the wires. Cant find them anywhere and 5-90s website is down. If anyone has the lengths that would be awesome

 

Need to know your year and engine. Not all are the same

 

whoops my bad. 2000 4.0

 

Was just researching this so the info is out there. Only ones I remember is both + from the battery. To starter is 30" to PDC is 13".

 

36" for the alternator
14" for the PDC
38" for the starter

32" for the block ground
10" for the chassis ground
14" for the firewall

 

Going to get some military spec clamps

 

Thank you for that. Was going to get a 36" for the starter lead and a 16" for the PDC just to have some good slack. And I'm going to get them with the lugs already attached and they're only available in certain lengths unless I were to get them custom made. The 30" I read May have been a different year. Guess I might go with longer than 36.

 

sweet thanks guys

 

I do custom cables if you would want that

 

So just a little update. Finally replaced 4 of my cables. Went with 4 gauge because that's what they had. Also went with marine terminals as they didn't have military style in stock. I ended up using a 40" for + to starter, it's a little long but usable. 30" for - to block, maybe a tad long but good. 12" - to fender, perfect length. And 18" + to PDC, a little long but 12" would have been too short.

Was worried about hood clearance with the marine terminals but they're ok. My battery crapped out on me finally so I needed to do this right away. Would have loved to pick up a set from xj wonders but maybe I'll gonthat route another time. So this only cost about $50 for 4 cables, 2 terminals and battery terminal washers from Napa. Out the door with the best group 34 battery they sell was $180. Not bad I say.

 

Yeah. This^^.

 

^^That


Just buy a set from Neal

 

I know. I reccomend to anyone to go ahead and buy a custom set from him. I really wish I could have and I was holding out until I could afford it but the xj had other plans. He was even selling them at a discount around the holidays. Wish I wasn't so broke then.

I have 2 other jeeps I could use the ones I bought on. Funny I was waiting til we got our tax returns. Got them a week too late. I do plan on upgrading the alternator in the future for more lights and so I can put my winch back on. At that point some larger than 4 gauge cables will also be used. I also will need to do the alternator to PDC.

 

Hi saw an older post of yours Do you still do custom cables?
