When you put those leveling coils in did you notice the difference up front?

i busted out the heavy shit lol



this is when i decided to run 4 ga away from the alt and to the battery it was a huge undertaking cause i ripped out all the old 10 ga factory wiring to make the new stuff look clean
old harness

more old harness but on the fuse block side

puling them back through the loom

this is where i took one of the 8 ga wires that i had running off the batt and ran it to one of the alt circuits i had just opened up soooo i had fused power running to my off road light relays

organizing the regulator wires one goes where the blue wire went one goes to the pos out on the alt and one goes to switched power



this is running the exciter wire and 4 ga main wire

i had to put a fuse in there somehow

the red is the alt in the blue is going to the batt to feed it all

i moved the ground a little closer shorter cables = more power by lower resistance :headbang:
after doing all this i noticed a big diff with all the loads on :icon_hornsup: way less needle drop :icon_thumby::yahoo:
