    Had to replace my X2 Power from Batteries Plus. Went with an Odyssey 34R-PC1500. Now.....Just have to address the wiring mess that I never got around to tidying up when I installed my lights......

    It actually wont be too bad. I just wadded up the extra wire, and shoved it between the side, and battery. Just need to take time and cut it to length. :)

    Picked up this grille insert off ebay for $25. Just required a little tweaking to fix the rough handling from UPS. Little bit of rattle can and flexing a bent tab.

    That site only lists up to 2007. Cables are fine, just the end clamps to the battery are getting abused.

    I like those. I'm torn, as the OE clamps have connection points for aftermarket accessories. I'll keep searching.

    I like the OEM clamps also for that exact reason. The accessory connection points. But maybe with aggrex suggestion of the military clamps. These could work.

    But now that I look at it more closely....probably not. Lol

    I saw those too, but they look to connect to the OE clamps. I might get a couple different ones, and make my own.
