- 86 CJ7 Renegade, 4.2L, 4 speed manual, T177 transmission, D300 transfer, D44 rear diff, power steering, no A/C, manual brakes. Carter BBD w/o Stepper.
Used #2 Welding wire for: (Welding wire is a much better conductor of electricity than normal battery wire and has a tough jacket to resist corrosion, oil, etc). Get the good stuff. It was only $2 a foot at a local welding supply store.
Battery positive to starter solenoid
Starter solenoid to starter
Battery negative to starter case (ground)
Battery negative to engine block (ground)
Then I used 100% copper and tinned compression lugs and battery terminals with this. Make sure it's for #2 gauge.
Used this heat shrink tubing. It has glue on this inside too! Makes a very good seal on connections. Again, make sure you can use on #2 gauge.
