Thanks guys. Just a heads up, after installing the relocation bracket, I tack welded the inboard studs to the nuts and tack welded the new Zone bracket to the inboard mounting plate. This thing won't be coming off. I just wanted to ensure extra safety as tire carriers can vibrate a lot.

Thanks. It has about 150 on it. I don't have a name for it.

The carrier looks good WJCO. Those rear light guards kinda stick out a bit on the sides. Seems like they'd catch on branches and bushes a bit don't they?

Thanks. I guess they could snag on branches. They're more for looks. But Google said my off-road efficiency just went up 12.79% so there's always that too. :crazyeyes:
Thanks guys. Test drove off-road today and they're solid. No rattles nor vibrations. Tire carrier is solid too.

New battery terminals installed. First impressions: Awesome!
EDIT: Final Impressions, they suck. One failed on me and the company blamed me for the failure. Sky High Car Audio does not stand behind their products: https://wayalife.com/showthread.php...tery-Terminals?p=917456&viewfull=1#post917456

Thanks. Correct. They are hot. They are about an inch from the hood but I'm still contemplating putting a slab of rubber on the underside of the hood above the positive just because of my OCD.
They're not that far from you either. Based out of Sparks. My neighbor came over and already ordered some. He has a diesel with a trailer containing solar panels, inverters, generator, etc. He loved these things.

Me too. I've always been the type of person who enjoys electrical work and making things work practically. These really seem to fit that mold.

I enjoy building power distribution systems too. In my profession I'm often responsible for hooking up and laying out power distribution racks for entertainment lighting. We often have personal contests to see who can lay out the cleanest rack-lands. Our flavor of cable is 4/0 gauge for the power side. Doing clean work is important when you are pulling 3 or 4 megawatts from the local city utility. I can totally appreciate a clean wiring job, no matter what the size or scale.

I disconnected my new battery terminal last night to do some welding on the Jeep. The terminal came off easy and left all the cables in place. With the terminal off, the tiny allen set screw goes into the battery terminal about .125", as I could see the hole it left in the lead. So truthfully, I feel pretty comfortable that these terminals are going to stay on there pretty securely.

Man, I might need to get some of those at some point. I hate messy wiring and those look great.
