*Shameless plug for XJwonders battery cables*

These cables are very nice and very well-made. Yes, there are others out there and they appear well-made (and probably are) but, for my particular application, they are over-kill. These are perfect and his price is reasonable.

Could you do a single custom length 4AWG cable that also has a 12 AWG lead coming from one of the terminals?

Installed my cables today. I am impressed at the quality. Here are a couple of notes.

The red cable with the little hole on one connector didn't fit anywhere. Every electrical connection I unbolted used a 13mm nut. I drilled it out to 5/16" and put it on the starter. No biggie. Jeep seems to change things without any rhyme or reason.

Instead of using the mega fuse holder, I just thinned the head of a bolt, slid it into the slot next to the main fuse block battery lug. This was perfect spacing for the mega fuse and it eliminated one of the red cables. I did have to trim the plastic cover for it to fit on over the heavier new lugs but it trimmed out great.

I still need to install the cable between the head and firewall. As far as I know that cable is flat braided for RF noise elimination. The new black cable should be fine there but might be overkill for the job.

Great job Neal, love the new cables!

That cable with the 1/4" hole on the end is for the alternator.

That's what I read here but it didn't fit. Heck, I couldn't have hammered it on to the alternator because it was too small for the bolt. It all worked out.

Weird. My alternator is a 136 amp alt for a '97 and it fit just fine.

I now have 99-04 WJ cable sets in my database

Holy cow it use much more wiring than XJs, so don't be surprised if it cost little more than standard XJ kits...

$160 shipped for #4 cables and $210 shipped for #2 cables.
