I like the fact that you point out very small specific things like using dielectric grease , and also the size of the socket or wrench that you’re using. That is really helpful.... excellent job 🤙🏼

The Giveaway is now over, thanks for all your guys support and comments!

As someone who started watching other videos before doing the power cable upgrade, this is probably the best video on the subject. Every little thing I encountered that wasn't mentioned in other videos, was brought up in this one. Thank you sir

I was given an xj by my best friend because my car had broken and I needed a way to travel to paramedic school. Everything was going great with the car until it wasn’t. My heat went out, in January, in Chicago so I turned to your videos to learn how to replace the water pump and it was extremely helpful, then my washer pump went out enter OutJeeping again, now I’m looking to change my radio and speakers along with my headliner soon and I’ve already watched your tutorials and am stoked that I’ll have them as a guide when I do make these repairs. Cables or no cables thank you for taking the time to put up these videos, saves me a ton of headaches and mistakes

Thank you for sharing! I learn a lot from videos like yours. I've been slowly restomod-ing my 93 xj for over ten yrs now and upgrading the electrical is next on the list before I can install my winch and accessories and other goodies. Keep up the good work and thanks again!!

Thank you for your time and effort in keeping the xj fever alive...

Your channel has helped me in 3 ways: 1) entertainment. Watching the offroad videos is fun. 2) you show me new mods that I didnt even know I wanted or needed. An example is the fan override switch. And 3) Just like in this video, you show me what to expect and provide an easy to follow how to. I really appreciate channels like this. As far as the cables go, they are already on my list. I could definitely use them on my 99 that has frayed cables.

Thanks for naming the wires you are changin in the beginning and where they go. That was the biggest help of all. Also appreciated knowing the range of sockets I would need. Great vid!

Thank you for a very clear tutorial on cable overhauling. I have an 1994 XJ, I bought brand new and I drive by myself until now. I never change any wire on my Jeep and I will overhaul the main cables. Its very usefull for me as I love my XJ very much. Hope all Jeep anthusiast will watch this video. Regards from Indonesia,richard.

I’ve been fighting a grounding issue with my 01 XJ - I need this kit! I really enjoy your videos

This is a great product to add to my Comanche build that I wouldn't otherwise have known about. Thank you for sharing this with us and good luck to all who've entered the give away! If not chosen I will definitely purchase this to complete my build!

Your videos have helped me so much through diagnosing problems/ adding upgrades/ and even maintenance! I really need a new pair of cables because some kind of animal started chewing into mine while I was away from home and being in college doesn’t give me a lot of money to fix it! Appreciate the content and knowledge!! Keep up the good work

This is a fantastic Upgrading mod especially for some who is adding newer electronics to my Overlanding 98 XJ ...I was not aware of that inline fuse....that alone is worth the upgrade. Much Thanks.

Hey Austin Your videos have help me with a lot of different task I have done to my 01 XJ. Task such as my speaker problem being the most recent. My driver side speaker would cut out with the door shut. I found broken wires in the door jam after watching your speaker upgrade video. Other videos like headliner replacement, trans flush, key fob trick and brake caliper rebuild. Your videos are very informative, clear, great quality and easy to follow along with. Also you show you don't need a lot of fancy tools to get what your trying to do done on your XJ. The 2 gauge upgrade will be great for my XJ. After fixing my speaker wire problem I plan to upgrade the the whole audio system and put some sounds in it. Also my 01 is a on going project, right now it has a about a four inch left bastard pack junkyard lift for now because im on a budget. Front bumper is off and looking for a winch and winch bumper. I have some LED pod lights waiting to go on, h4 headlight conversion installed. I think the wire upgrade will give me more light out of them. Slowly but surely my XJ is coming along. So this upgrade would be a great step in the build. Thanks for taking the time to make great tutorial videos. Joe

you have helped in a lot of ways to keep my XJ 1995 on the road here in Aust. With throttle body upgrade, water pump And ignition tune up helped the old jeepers go a heap better thank you. I also have a Cherokee 4 door diesel 97

I just purchased a Jeep Comanche the previous owner was just going to get rid of it. I don't think he knew how rare it was. I had to pull start it to get it home and came to KZfaq to look four tips on upgrades knowing the battery cables look pretty shotty. this would be a great upgrade for mine as I have not done that yet or diagnose the non starting problem yet. Liked and subscribed you have helped a bunch with details and instruction because I know nothing of these vehicles and will be going through all of your uploads. Thanks OutJeeping :)

I need these to replace my ol wore out cables on my 96 xj. Now with your video I can install them myself. Keep the videos coming.

Just did this on my ‘96- went with 4ga. My Powermaster alternator wasn’t able to achieve 14V @ idle on my in-dash voltmeter before upgrade, but now it does 💪🏻. Good video!

thanks to your channel there upgrades coming to my jeep|! your 1 ton steer video helped me to decide what brand to use! i could use a wire kit because i to have a tone of electronics hooked up led lights, rock lights, winch and such.thanks!

thanks for taking the time to do this video ,redoing a 1999 xj from the ground up

Great instructions...clear and well thought out. Thanks

Thanks so much, ready to do mine.

Thanks for all the videos you do u helped me in the injectors install.im upgrading pretty much everything on my 2000 jeep just put 3 inch lift ,gonna do the k suspension headlight wires upgrade next so the battery cables would be super for the next project.i watch all your vids so if something happends to my jeep i know how to fix it from your vids oh yea the chevy brake lines are also my next project thanks for the vids!

i melted the OEM 4awg wire going from the batt to the starter and block on my '91 XJ (later found out it was a partially nuked starter), replaced it with 2/0 cable, replaced power wire from alt with 4awg welding cable and an addtional 4awg ground from batt to core support ran 2awg into the cab to an inverter mounted high in the rear compartment for running lights/tools as well as an aux fuse panel for lighting and accessories attached off of the 2awg run with 8awg, good video man i will say from experience, this is a worth wile upgrade, def worth the time and effort of doing the upgrade

Nice job Austin.I made my own cables with a hyd. crimper and 4ga. welding cable...

Your video have helped me with putting head liner in

This is a helpful video. Thank you.

Amazing tutorial. Great work.

Good video, going to incorporate this into my old xj

Thanks mate, appreciate the vid!

Your videos help me decide on a few parts for throttle body and steering upgrades and you make great videos going into detail showing step by step which most other videos fail to do👍🏻keep it up and my wires are corroded and are failing so I’ll need to upgrade them soon and also hoping to make a KZfaq video covering the install if I win them or purchase them

I've discovered your channel recently, and it gave me a bunch of useful information, as I am new to all that jeep thing. I've bought my XJ in January this year, and it is in not a good shape for now.

Your videos have been invaluable when it comes to upgrades to my jeep, and why I need them is I'm building a 90 xj that will be a JK killer. I want my 2000 dollar jeep to outwheel and put perform a 40k JK but of course this has been a slow process because of limited funds and build priorities

This is awesome, just looking over the electrical system on my xjs. Winning this would be even more awesome! Cheers @outjeeping

your videos help remind me of all the things I need to do to my XJ lol

Love the videos keep it up

In my quest to figure out my mystery miss I was missing a ground that you showed in your video, some new cables would definitely help clean up the short butchered stuff that's on there now, thanks

I've actually been wanting these cables for my 99 Cherokee. I've had to replace the negative terminal already because it was corroded and when doing it I noticed my positive power cable isn't in the best condition. Right now I don't have the extra money to purchase this kit cause I'm getting married this fall and all my extra money is going towards the wedding. Also your video for the electric fan override helped me out a lot with an over heating issue I was having during the summer.

Very nice video very informative detailed could not have done it better myself keep up the good work my brother and thank you

Hey Austin, i haven't really commented a lot on your vids but i have been here since 500 subs. And the best thing about that is i have seen your progression in video making. You have made many videos that have helped me out but its not the subject of the video its your camera work. You unlike a lot of car youtubers, the angles that you show when fixing something or installing something are what really helps. Now a little info on my jeep. I bought it of this guy who clearly didn't do things by the book. there were random bolts in places and dont even get me started on the wiring, when i went to go look at the jeep i popped the hood and my immediate reaction was, "SHIT" The wire loom was all but gone and there were so many random wires that he put in that dont need to be there at all. NOW the most messed up thing was the battery terminals, The ground terminal is broken if i tighten it anymore the terminal will brake and i will have to by this kit anyways. Now for the positive i do have alot of accessories like you ( i appreciate that you point that out ) and my positive terminal cant fit anymore accessories. With this cable upgrade i would be able to fix all of the issues the previous owner messed up on and i would also have the peace of mind that my battery terminals wont fall off while on the trail. Anyway , just want to say thanks for all the vids and i appreciate you making them. ,Harrison

About to do this on my 5.7 Commander, only video I could find that used the same Jeep cable website I ordered from

Need to replace mine on my jeep. After watching your video I know I can do it

Hey what’s going on brother I love your jeep... I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee sport lifted with 33s green and I love the Jeep...And I would love to get all new cables I’m 61 And on Disability but I do what I can...Well thank you for sharing your videos... ☮️

Good vid man

My original cables are really starting to show their age and can't be trimmed back much more haha. These would be a much needed upgrade for anyone with a XJ!

I Have a video on DIY battery cables that rival these, thanks for the video

Recent subscriber, love your videos. I just picked up a '98 2 door that I'm reviving. I used to wheel all the time with the previous owner. Unfortunately health issues keep him form the trails anymore. His rig is somewhat of a legend in our local club. It has been sitting for 3 years so it needs considerable TLC. I'm doing it up right, he will be proud when I finish....and the club will too. Keep up the awesome videos!

Thanks

I’ve had grounding issues with my 97 XJ cherokee batteries (yes two batteries) I am running a yellow top and red top for starting and yellow for long pulls when helping others up hills during events. Hoping this set up will cure some gremlins. I know it’s only for one battery but if it does the trick I know I’ll be buying a second ;)

Great video, FYI though dielectric grease is very non conductive, it is the very last thing you should be putting inside of your terminals, its purpose is to prevent shorts. It might very well be useful inbetween the starter positive/negative leads which do like to short if something gets in there, but it shouldn't be put on your ring terminals before they're tightened down.

how well does that g100 battery to chassis ground work? just snapped mine off as well and went ahead and bought some M8 bolts and lug. was going to keep the connection to the chassis but the way you handled that looks pretty sturdy my guy. curious to see if it held up strong. so far cherokeeforum and reddit suggest self taper but i like this much better. let me know

Oh, why I need them? I'll send you some pics, but I'm sitting in a field right now. Which is where me my girlfriend are. 2 dogs in our Jeep live now because we broke down while traveling. And the electrical system is one of the things that I'm upgrading before we get back on the road to Colorado. I stopped here even though we didn't have no money. And any place to live because I want to make sure that this thing was right. Before we went up in to Colorado, we're gonna be doing some high altitude 4 by and gonna go around mountaintero and I just want to make sure that everything was in good shape. So we didn't get hurt. Anyways, that's me. And that's my story.I have a good day

Got the Big 7 kit for my WJ, works a whole lot better than the factory and even stopped the random electrical issues.

This is an awesome video on how to do the big 7 upgrade. If anyone is going to be doing this to their Jeep but will be running a wench and whatever else you want to run and if you are on a budget then all of the stuff to make this kit yourself is cheaper to buy everything individually. There then would also be enough material to make your own wiring kit for a dual battery setup if that’s what you want to run. I was able to piece everything together including the crimping tool, 2GA red and black cable (5ft each), lugs, terminal connectors, heat shrink, and fuse/holder for around $130. The 4GA kit is around $100 from what I had seen and you may need to modify it anyways.

I've been gathering parts to swap into my 01 for a bit, plan on using your videos for the axle seals and u joints here soon. I've got a headliner that needs to go in as well but I'm putting that off till I decide what color to repaint the plastic trim pieces. Thinking tan and black. Anyone know if this set is better than the one K Suspension sells? I've been looking at it and the headlight rewire kit.

Hey Austin how u been. Them doors i sold u are looking great man. Glad I could help u out witb clean parts for ur build and for more content for all of us following u. I acually just did a motor swap and it blew so i got my 2nd motor last night but the dodge alternator keeps burning up all my wiring due to running on board air, lights, 2000w power invter and a sound system. I appreciate how u make everything step by step. Keep on jeeping brother.

Would 4 gauge be good for running a sound system , small led pod lights and future led bar?

Your videos really help me with modding my YJ. Especially this cable one since I'm planning on adding more speakers and a better radio. Nothing like a boom, Boom system just where I can hear it with the top and doors off. Plus I have a winch and offroad lights that needs upgraded cables to supply the juice. Alot of this stuff carries over to the Wrangler and others. I learn alot from all your videos. Ps what exhaust do you have on your XJ?

I have a 2020 ford ranger wildtrak

On the starter - the two wires within the loom are fused together into one unit. Do you have any advice? Thanks!

That engine fired right up..like a champion good upgrade boss...how much $$

Did you notice better radio suppression/quality with the firewall cable? I installed my kit years ago but never did the firewall section as Ive been told the braided cable is better for suppression

HI Austin, thank you for this video. I just ordered the cables for my XJ. I noticed you have an extra bracket holding down your battery, that's attached to the member by the radiator. Is that something you had fabricated, or purchased somewhere? It seems like it would be really useful.

Great video Austin! But why did you choose the 4ga instead of the 2ga? I noticed you run lights and a winch...

I just got a set and installed them. I started my Jeep afterwards and it worked perfectly fine but two days later, my battery was dead. And ideas on why there would be an electric draw with these new cables?

Love your videos. I see I mite be to late for your giveaway. This is my next upgrade I will be doing. Why did you prefer the 4ga

I have a 2004 Grand Cherokee with a corroded Negative Cable that needs replacing. The short one from battery to fender is fine, but it's the long one from terminal to under the engine. I can't get to where it needs to be removed and wonder if I can attach it to another bolt somewhere on the engine? I live in an Urban environment without a garage or workspace, so I'm unable to lift the car.

Will the 4ga be enough if you do the 160 amp alternator upgrade? Or would the 2ga be better?

Kool rigg men. So what size fuse did you use.? I have an 04 gc 4.7 ho and i want to replace that fusible link with a fuse and wire...maybe a 4 ga....but still don't know what fuse to use...any idea..? Thanks!

If my dad caught me beating on the battery post with a hammer I wouldn't have lived long enough to get my license

What size split wire loom should I use

When are we going to get a walk around video of your XJ?

What brand fenders Flares are those ?

finally someone makes it clear what heck is going on...my daddy said son NEVER TOUCH THE WIRES...no he didn't, thank you

What’s the difference between the 2ga and 4ga?

is that a lund moonvisor? if so where did you find it?

Did I win yet my cables are so bad

You have helped me in many repairs I do not understand English very well, but having visual content is a great motivation to get my hands on my 97 XJ and so I save money, I live in Mexico City .... 2300 meters above sea ​​level and heavy traffic with an XJ is suicide, but it is a noble machine still feels strong, it is our only family vehicle and we love it I will try to keep it forever, I thank you for uploading videos Cherokeeros por siempre lml My Instagram @corona_xj

I think it's funny how everybody says military grade stuff when you go to buy it everything in the military is broken

Did I win yet ?

The terminals are trash dude the wires themselves are ok but the insulation and shrink wrap are just cheap. I bought these wires and I’m gon say it’s a 5 out of 10. Just make your own for less I paid 120$+ not sure but yea.
