Chris,
Contact Wrangler Power Products(http://www.wranglernw.com) and the will
supply you with some high quality cables and battery terminal post
connectors, if you are looking to upgrade and never have to worry about them
again. This fall when I put a new battery in, I am going to run all new
battery cables(thicker guage pos/neg wire also) and use high quality
terminal post connectors. All of my stuff will be purchased through WPP
also. For the price of the cables through the dealer, I bet you can upgrade
your wiring and get better equipment. Hope this helps, let us know how
things turn out.
