NEW BATTERY CABLES/TERMINALS

O.K., my stock battery terminals and cables are toast from corrosion on my 01 XJ, so I'm looking to upgrade them. Where can I find pre-fit, ready to install cables for a late model XJ that will work with military style terminals (as I hear those are what to get). I saw these terminals on Kilby's site, and they look like good quality terminals, but I don't know much about battery connections, so some advice would be helpful. Where would I find the proper pre-fit cables, and grounds? I'm looking for high quality stuff that will last. Thanks!

I just got my new cables. Great cables, price and customer service.

WOW, those look pretty sweet. I'll have to look into it.

Those are 5-90's cables. PM him on here for info and such. Good guy, and good products.

x2 on 5-90s cables...

We had Jon make up a custom set for our auto-X RX-7 and we had a voltage increase of 1.5 - 2V on our Microtech LT-8s and his kit also cured our voltage drop we were experiencing when wed have accessories turned on (lights, brake pedal depression, etc...)

We've also put them into our MJ and I just ordered a full set for my XJ. Everything he makes is very stout and will last. They are WELL worth the money.

Heres his site:

As for terminals get Jon's Brass terminals (also on his site and what we run on both the MJ and the RX-7). On his site, you can read more about why those are great terminals.

When I look on napaonline I found these: p/n 728222. They are not what 5-90 sells at all, his are brass and top mount. Unless they have a different set with the same number in store?

I know I can get the same terminals he sells local and maybe 1-2 bucks cheaper. However, the trip to the store(gas money) and usually I dont see brass terminals in the stores. Plus, he prolly makes that 1-2 bucks off the terminals and Ill consider that a little gratuity

5-90 FTW!!
