upgraded cables? Never heard of upgraded cables. Don't really see why you'd need it if you don't have a high current demand, but I'm kinda curious as to what exactly you get.

Terry Components 4 gauge battery cables; OEM is 6 gauge.

You can see the cables in this image, I had the battery and battery box out cleaning and using dielectric silicone on all the behind the box connections...
