[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8273869, member: 658055"] I'm looking a top post battery terminals to replace the stock ones. They're fairly thin with very little room to add auxiliary wiring to them. The positive one is okay, but the negative one looks to be in bad shape. I'm planning on doing the Big 3 upgrade, so I figure I'd just replace them both, since they're oftentimes sold as a set. At first I looked at the fancy block-style machined ones, but they typically take 1/0 gauge and all my wiring is 4 gauge. I found two sets of Pico brand terminals. Both look beefy, well reviewed, and are cheap. I can get a lug crimper and go to town.
