    Just getting it prepped for any future upgrades. I figured if others are doing it now, that’s it will be a good time to do mine too.

    I'm preparing to put in a winch and I need new battery connections. So might as well upgrade the wires .

    And buying a 10ton hydraulic crinper.
    But I was wanting to see if anyone had one first.
    And I already have these Military Spec Battery Terminal Top Post Kit

    I would so like to do this on my 2nd gen. I did a this on my 350z and I’d like to say it made a difference, that system had like 5 to 7 grounds though.

    I’ll be out of town until about then, so mid August or even later would work great for me.

    In the the Southeast valley, where are y’all?
