Oh I'm not complaining about the rain at all. Just complaining that this stuff isn't just done and out into your hands. So many delays and do overs and blah.

I finally have a dry day to work on my truck so that I can complete the wiring to get the Battery Disconnect Mount out the door. Last piece of the puzzle are the new grounds. The old ground went from the block to the battery ground and then a small ground to the fender. The new 1/0 ground cable will go from the block to the Flaming River Disconnect and then from the disconnect it'll split to the body ground and battery ground.
Replacing the cable doesn't really require removing the battery tray but damn does it make it so much easier.
You can see from my BoneStock original ground cable that not only is it sized for the original 80A alternator and single battery, but it was getting corroded at the block and ANY twisting of the cable instantly broke the plastic sheathing around it. Yeah, I let this go for way too long.

My goal is to ship these out this week. I screwed up last week by using 1awg cable that was mixed in with 1/0 and I didn't notice it until I was trying to package things up. Not all cables were affected! Just one particular one which is good. But I should have noticed it earlier. Its my own fault.
All of the new supplies should be arriving between today and tomorrow. I will then get everything sent out by end of week. I'll be happy to be done with this project.
Also, I'm trying to decide on a decent way to label wires without being annoying about it. Any suggestions?
