    I got some 4ga ones with a 3/16ths hole I think it was from O'reileys they had lots of them by the batteries. I was able to see the bolt size on the package for the fuse. It works muuuuuch easier. What I didn't have was a great crimping tool so I had to do the best I could then I soldered it and then put some
    Heavy thick shrink tubing around it. I did use one size up for the ring terminal for the battery since the post was larger.

    It's pretty straight forward, just take your time cutting the old bushings out.

    I'm still planning on a full writeup, but I'll say that one of the challenges was relocating the parking brake cables.

    The hole for the twin stick shifter came up right where the v shaped splitter lived. Had to get a little creative.

    I clocked the FJ case 15degrees, so the hole was right in the middle of the bracket.

    The driveshafts should be done this week. I'm hoping for a :turtleride: video next Sunday.

    Technically I have to be done by the second week of May as I have the Lonestar Jamboree in Gilmer to go to. I need to finish the crawl box, change all the fluids, and buy one new tire. I should be ok.

    The taco is Smokey and my '02 F250 tow pig/daily driver is Bandit. :D
