Default Quadratec heavy duty battery clamps

Installed the HD clamps from Quadratec this morning and tried to clean up some of the wires from my "extras".

The extra room is nice and they are defiantly higher quality than the stock ones. It won't be long before I need a new battery.

That looks good. I might have to do the same thing.

Did you have any problems removing the bolts from the battery? I had a hard time breaking them loose.

Lol, the before was worse. If I had to do it over again I would have invested in a fuse block. I did make an effort to run the wires as neatly as possible but when everything merged at the battery it became a bit crazy.

The bolts are tight but they will pop free. .

I have the same terminals. Beefier then the stock stamped ones. The only downside [which is not the fault of the terminals] is that the wire connector on my winch cables only fit on the end bolt and not the one closest to the main clamp.
