What's the construction/type of the cable? I'd probably be in for my own 100ft roll... shoot me a PM.

I could be convinced to take 10 feet of red and 10 feet of black. At least.Anyone for a group buy on 4/0 BATTERY CABLE?
Obviously it goes without saying that doing anything to prevent the battery from hanging by the cables (duct tape, bungee cord, a pair of pants...)....drove 30 miles one time with the battery hanging by my cables...
Those cables don't look quite long enough to make it to the bus bars. I could be wrong (often am). Have you tried one on a CUCV? I notice she doesn't list them with the compatible vehicles.clintogf has NOS slave ports pre-terminated with 1/0 cable. I bought a few from her about a month ago. Probably cheaper/easier than doing the work.
I'm skeptical of 36" getting you to the rear battery with good routing. Anybody tried it?I measured this morning, the holes in the ends are about 3' (36") from the back of the slave port. Again, probably enough to go to the batteries, but not enough to go to the bus on the firewall (not that I'd recommend that anyway).
Afraid I will have to disagree with your assessment of the compression cable terminations, never had one go bad.It should also be noted that you aren't guaranteed a good contact with the entire cross-section of the cable with a nut-compression fitting.
I have trouble shot many car stereos in my day, and most of the cars that have or had compression/camp-on fittings had bad heat marks around the connection, and tons of corrosion.
