Jeep cables

Hopefully, you've found this page because you are looking for aftermarket battery cables for Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, CJ or other Jeep vehicles.

The cable sets below fits many late 90's Cherokees, Grand Cherokees and some CJs and YJs. I can't guarantee they are right for your application. Please double check measurements on your Jeep before ordering. If you're just looking for one of those Jeep ground cables with the "Y" in it click here.

The cables are built from cast copper terminals, 1/0 ("one-aught") cable for the starter and engine block ground and #4 gauge wire for the fuse block and body ground wires. Then we seal the connection with heavy wall adhesive lined heat shrink. Compare the thickness of the wires showing below the heat shrink. Anti-corrosion bolts and battery washers are included.

All the positive cables come with a starter lug cover. That's because the oil filter on the 6 cylinder engine is directly above the starter. The lug cover should help prevent an accidental short circuit when changing the oil. Of course you must install it properly and use caution when changing the oil filter. Covers for the battery terminal ends are available for an extra $3 each.

The fuse block has a singe hole heavy duty 90 end. If you have the factory 2-hole connector you will need to fabricate a jumper. Some guys just cut the old connector off and use it for a jumper.

I run these same cables on my personal 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee. They work great. I think the engine cranks faster and starts right up. I even noticed the voltmeter on the dash is reading a little higher. Of course, I didn't actually scientifically measure these before and after so it's more of a "feeling" than a fact.   I've sold a bunch of them with no returns except for one when the customer asked for a shorter cable... and then he returned it when it was too short.

If you think the cables would work better with some modification, please help out the next guy and let me know so I can make the change. If you find that these cables will work for other applications, again, please let me know.

Note: These cables have a straight starter lug instead of the molded starter/solenoid/cover combo. You will need to reroute the positive cable. You will also need to cut the solenoid wire and add a terminal to it.

The cables below in stock and ready for next day shipping!

Cherokee and GC 4.0L Kit: I think this kit will actually work on any jeep with the 4.0 inline 6 cylinder and the battery mounted in the right front corner of the engine compartment. The Positive cable is a 40 inch long 1/0 cable with a 5/16 starter lug and a 22 inch #4 lead with a 90 degree 5/16 heavy duty lug for connecting to the fuse block. A starter lug cover is included. The negative cable is 30 inch 1/0 w/16 lead for chassis ground.   Please double check measurements on your Jeep before ordering. Only $68.79

Cherokee and GC 4.0L Positive Cable only: Just the positive cable from the above kit. Only $38.24

Older CJ and some YJs Kit: I think this will fit the 4 bangers with the firewall mounted battery. If you have a 4.0L 6 cyl consider the kit above.
