I recently did aftermarket headlights on my Tundra, and this is definitely on my buy list, especially since I have plans for a switch panel, auxiliary lights, and a winch. Thanks for the video going over it!

This is better than sliced bread. Finally I have found the best 'Taco battery terminal replacement kit. Am ordering one tonight!

Been looking for a long time, never found what I needed until this! Thank you, this is perfect!

Thanks for keeping these videos available. I have a 2019 Tacoma I've been upfitting for overlanding for the last three years. It feels live I've done a thousand upgrades with lots more still to go. In the last couple of months, I've been working on cleaning the electrical connections under the hood and cab. My next project will be to consolidate 3 bus bars near the battery. Thanks to this video, I'll will upgrade my messy battery terminals at the same time.

thanks for the video! purchased mine a couple of days ago and arrives today, cant wait to upgrade mine

Have had this still in the package for almost a year now and never wanted to attempt it alone but now feel confident thanks to your video.

Hey M&M! I just now experienced the rattling of the exhaust pipe on the skid plate on my FJ. So I went back to your old video on this subject. I've got the old RCI skids. After looking at the new transfer case skid you install. I stole the idea. Cut a hole and welded up a drop pocket. Works great. But I didn't think about drilling holes in it for rocks and water to get out. So that helped too. Old videos are great to go back on. Thanks. Problem solved!!!

Some newer rigs have very specific battery terminals on both positive and negative side, and in some cases communicate with the ECM/BCM.. I added a 12V Bus Bar, 1 heavy lead to the bus and then all my add ons off the bus.

@Merritt3246

Perfect idea and very sharp looking. I only wish they made them in tinned copper. Aluminum doesn't conduct as well as copper and tinned copper is more resistant to corrosion and a better conductor especially at higher amperage. I haven't seen a single one in tinned copper so far though so maybe cost is a factor, I really dont know. Also 99% of the ones sold on amazon are Chinese Aluminum and never sold with a cover. Enlarging a battery terminal that big and not providing a cover or even an option to buy one is insane. Really dangerous. I'm glad you guys found a cover. Super smart.

@extrememiami

@@kencreel5660 oh yes I forgot about that also. Now your added more types of metal also and the odds that you'll be connecting to another aluminum connection are slim to none. Can't believe they only make these in aluminum with no intentions of even offering tin plated copper. Such a waste. I'm returning mine tomorrow I also had an issue that these are cut straight and they go on a flared terminal which loosens with vibration since it's not also flared.

I got sick of looking at my home made trailer wiring..while it was functional it was ugly...I just dropped 500$ on everything needed to clean up...good functional wiring setups aren't cheap but I feel is definitely worth it..I might have to get one of these for my 4Runner

Always enjoy your videos, I never considered or thought aluminum as being a good conductor of electricity, shows you how much I know ! ? Ha

It’s not as good as copper and used to be common in household wiring, but it corrodes easily comparatively. Interesting to see how these hold up over time.

Love the upgrade but I would have cleaned all the connections before attaching to those nice new terminals.

The beard looks good on Mark. He should keep it. Great video again, I’ll definitely look into these pieces!

Safer process, disconnect the negative, do all the work on the positive first, that way if you happen to hit a ground with a wrench you will not spark. then complete all the final work on the negative. I really do like the terminals, I think they are a great optioin.

Yes we did, along with a dual battery system. That video will be up in a week or so.

More non-metric sizes to add to the tool bag... why couldn't they go with metric on a kit made for Toyotas?

Do you now if the FJ Cruiser has an OEM amperage sensor on the negative terminal?

My guess is the anti seize is important on the bolts because of the disimular metals of the stainless and aluminum. That is a serious battery lug.

@wanderlustoverland Is replacing the factor ground wire necessary? It's tied into my factory terminal which I plan to bolt to the top. (2014 FJ) They are similar to your 4runner terminals

Nice

$140 😳🤷🏻, but you do get tiny little tube of never seize, sweet! Looks like the ultimate battery terminal is better, and only third the price.

Remote disconnect would be great

Getting old and not being able to remember simple verbiage is a bitch isn't it! With your add on's in this case the new battery terminal connector, one might want to think about presentation. Taking the time to pull the battery off camera and clean it and before installing the terminals explaining the importance of cleaning the battery posts and possible terminal anti-corrosion sealant after installation of your new components. Great video though.

Where can I buy theses and the name of them when I ask for them

Bloopers are the best...... haahaa

Live in Tucson where can I git some 2 mike

They should’ve color (+red, -black) code to the terminal block.

Wow, they should double...no, triple the price of those terminals!!

I need this because my battery terminals are brutal mess. But wanna hear your long term review first. I’m a little worried about aluminum oxide increases the resistance. I know aluminum terminal/wires have been used in homes, but that’s quite different environment than car’s engine bay.

Did ur channel get hacked??? Truth hurts link?

Your better off fitting a separate buss bar a few inches from the battery than one of these, ally is not a good material at all for a terminal, it heat stresses, doesn't conduct as well as a brass or tinned copper terminal AND it reacts with copper wire. I'm sorry but that bolt up compression terminal is the worst idea I've ever seen for a heavy load cable! Crimp or solder, you will never achieve a cold weld with that POS of a terminal. Sorry i guess you intend well but I'm afraid you missed the mark on this one, a truly awful piece of kit IMHO

$140 good lord. I'll pass

If it's not 100% Brass with stainless bolts ,,,,,,, it's junk. $75.00 ?? Hhahahahaahahahahaaah.
