hey ya'll,
i was wondering where i can buy a battery cable extension? i did a 3inch body lift on my 4runner and the cable just barely reaches the battery i have in there now. i just recently ordered an Optima yellow top which i am sure is much taller; there will be no way the cables will reach the battery once i put it in.....

 

welding supply stores have good prices

 

Just up grade your cables to newer and heavier pawn your old ones off to people that can use them

 

Bingo.

I would not recommend extending them - just replace the entire length of cable with new, beefier cables and you'll be set for years to come.

I did this on my '99 4Runner and added a few extra grounds while I was at it - probably overkill, but that's how I roll.

Which cable + or -? If the ground cable, see if you can find a closer bolt hole to attach the other end to. Or you can get longer cables at an auto parts store or the welding supply shop is good for bulk cable and get the terminals at an auto parts store.

 

cool. good info. im gonna have to do both the positive and negative ones. is it pretty simple to change out the wires completely? i just took a quick look and determined it was gonna be a PITA..... maybe i didnt look hard enough
