I pulled those cables off my 99 XJ crawler with the intentions of making new cables for it.

They are 2 gauge, all the lugs are inspected and replaced when necessary (only one lug was replaced) and I put on new heat shrink on every ends.
Comes with one dirty fuse holder and one 150 amp fuse. Also comes with military style battery terminals that I wire brushed clean.

I suppose y'all could call this a collectible item... it's the very first set of cables I ever built, 5 years ago. Lol.

$45 shipped with the battery terminals

$40 shipped if you don't want the battery terminals.

Default Awesome Cables!!

It took me a while to finally get around to installing all these guys on the jeep. Sick, and family stuff.

But, as many others have stated.... these things are awesome as hell..!! Super clean, excellent quality, very worth it!! Using a drawing that was posted in this thread, and a photo for how the fuse is supposed to be attached it was easy peezy!!!

I highly recommend this set up! Well done sir..... Thank you very much! When my wife gets her XJ she wants some too.. haha..

Any negative effects to running the 2GA on a stock setup (no winch, extra lights, stock alternator, etc)?

There's no cons to that especially at this price.

If you are buying a brand new #2 gauge for completely stock set up, i wouldn't recommend it because its overkill and unnecessary for the price. You would be fine with #4 gauge.

Only time I would ever recommend #2 gauge is if the alternator's rated output is past 150 amps.

Yet even still.... at that price, buy 'em and then get a 160a alt down the road!

20 percent discount for the spring time and the tax season.

The catch? You gotta email me at MeanLemons@gmail.com and mention CF20% and your username.

That way I know you saw it here.

Sending me a PM doesn't count.

Cheers!

Got my cables the other day and like everyone else - really impressed with the quality. Hoping to install them this weekend.

Thanks to everyone who posted pics - really helpful for a newbie.

Thanks again Neal!

Received the cables; very nice. The eyelet size/length of the head to firewall ground cable even acknowledged the fact that the 2000 is different than some earlier years....nice job.

Hello everybody. Over last few weeks, I have slowly phased out ANL fuse holding systems in favor for Mega fuse holding systems. I feel it's more rugged and more likely to last longer in abusive environment. Also with the mega fuse holders, you now can position & arrange the cabling in 9 different configurations making it easier to install in your engine bays.

That's what it looks like. Unfortunately that mean I have to spend 3 times as much as I would normally spend for ANL fuse holding systems (those fuses aren't cheap).

But the good news is that I'm not going to increase the pricing on my cables.


Also another change I am making is the option of having newer braided ground cable for the firewall. I will start on that in next couple weeks

Good changes. I'll have to hit you up for 'em if mine ever goes caput.

Good call, I had actually planned on putting a mega fuse holder on my kit. Nothing wrong with the ANL fuses, the cases are just more susceptible to vibrations.

Yeah, mine's holding up fine. Got a couple of HD zip ties around it though, so I doubt I'll have any issues with it.
