2mtrs of cable??? where you putting the battery? passenger foot well? lol

Think I used 6mtrs and even then it was tight... best get yer measuring stick out dude

You will need battery terminals too.. not the crappy ones that hold the cable with screws...

I ran the cable from the battery to the starter then a cable from the starter to the junction box and attached the cable from the top fusebox there too

cool, its pricing up to be more expensive than i thought as its not really a mod that helps anything, being a daily.

my idea is to remove battery and extend the filter so its behind the light and create a custom heat shield around it so if i do it will 100% get some photos up
