My battery cables are toasted and I want to set up dual batteries. Does anyone know how to make a clean set up. I dont want to have to buy a kit, and I dont want to use those crappy connectors from autozone where you bolt in the wires. Help me out.

Thanks
Scott

Scott,

Do a search on Dual Batteries and I know you will get a lot of links. You will find part numbers and places to get the parts. I went with a 200 amp solenoid to isolate the batteries and I upgraded the alternator to a 160 amp. Some Jeeps came with a 117 amp and you may not need to upgrade.

ANyway, do the search and you'll find what you need.

Wrangler Northwest Products makes kits. Like $500, including @ Optimas.
