    Looking to buy a new set of cables. What brand/guage should I be looking for? Any suggestions?

    4.10 gears, sliders, and lots of buttons.
    The thicker the cable, the better. I have some 2 gauge 25 footers that work pretty well, and am quite happy with them.

No more mud flaps, Temp gauge inside intake box, BHLM, extra D-rings in front of bed, No more plastic storage box behind rear seats. More to come.

    Find a pair that works every time... Its good to check how wide the ends open. I've had some cheapos that didnt open quite wide enough to get around a batt terminal... But other than that, so long as they work they are good ones.

    I carry a battery pack with me in my tool box. It is just a cheap $50 thing from walmart that I've used for ~2 years and it hasn't failed me yet. imo They are a lot easier because you don't have to position your truck and stuff and if you're by yourself no biggie just jump yourself.
