Where do you like to ground out your negative jumper when jumping off a gen 3 runner?

 

The negative terminal won't kill you and cause the mattress police to come looking for you... And a ground's a ground...
Otherwise, look for something with some meat on it, like you'd use as a ground.

Just look for aluminum or rubber behind it as it won't be as good...

 

I just don't want to fry something or blow up the battery...Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria.

 

Yeah, negative terminal on the battery. I never really understood why or who first told me years ago to put it somewhere else, but I never could figure out why? The neg terminal attaches directly to the block on every vehicle I have worked on. I have jumped hundreds of cars this way for years and have never had a problem.

 

i also go off the neg terminal that and i added 2 more 4ga grounds

 

The grounding of the jumper cable to other then the negative battery terminal is a hold over from the old days.

To prevent an arc which could ignite the hydrogen gases vented by the battery in the days batteries had vents and removeable caps

 

Ahhh. very logical. I'll put that on the list of things I learned today. : )

 

Ive always just hooked the jumper cables to the battery, and ive never had any problems doing it that way.
