Don't fall for the 2 gauge starter cables. It's pure waste of copper. It will not do one single thing for you.
No matter how big your alternator, no matter how big your winch, lights, whatever, your starter will not draw one more amp than a stock machine. 6 gauge works fine on a stock machine. 4 is an upgrade that really doesn't do much. 2 is just stupid.
