Looks neat..

I DIY'd my kit (Twin batteries on parallel) with three earths from each battery (frame, body, motor) I always have massive issues with earth points... scrape off more paint and risk corrosion, or keep as much as possible at the risk of increased resistance?

The voltmeter is interesting... and pics of it installed? I assume there is a switch for it? - or is it on 24/7?

Are there any CSA or UL markings on it?

The install isn't bad at all. Just make sure you have nothing going on if worst comes to worst cause you're car won't start mid install haha.

Running the new wires is the easy part. Pulling and removing the old wires is a little tedious though. I actually left the factory wiring in for some time because it's such a tedious job and I hate wiring.

As long as you don't plan on disconnecting your battery a lot, you should be good with the clamps provided. After doing the wiring, I replaced my starter, added an auxiliary fuse box, and several more accessories so my terminal clamps were being connected and disconnected quite a few times.

After several times of my 4Runner not starting and having to move the clamp around, I decided to go with these because they're pretty much dummy proof.

I just used generic battery clamps from West Marine. Also got tin plated copper lugs since they fasten differently to my new clamps. Pictures of what I used Here. I kept all the wiring in the kit when I did this as well cause it is really nice wiring, I just added the new lugs to clean everything up and make good connection.

Not that I can see. Its TEMCo wiring. Heres the link:

Haven't done the install yet. Hopefully within the next week or so. Voltmeter is constant from what I understand. I suppose its interesting to see what you're running in real-time.

Yes... but leaving it sitting for a couple of weeks with constant drain is never great!

Then again it might consume less than an alarm.

I bought that kit, great quality even though I haven't installed it yet. I already installed a 160amp alt from Quality Power & the factory wire hasn't caught fire yet. ;-)

Does the guy who sells the kits post on here?

May not be the best thing, but if it drained the battery after a couple of weeks I feel like there are bigger issues. Im looking at batteries now, definitely need to upgrade.

I had no idea. I was referred right to the Taco forum. Good to know.

I read a post somewhere about running the volt meter in the connector off a switched hot. To me, it's useless under the hood anyway but it does look cool.
