That looks prettier than my hand made job! But then again, I do not claim to be an electrician, just a hack-job one at best.
Install is super easy though, remove wires, place wires, done. I spent more time double-checking my wire routing then actually routing it. Gives peace of mind and more capacity to adding more goodies like lighting, a thumping subwoofer, winches, etc.

To be honest, I never would have done this on my own. Its part of the kit and interesting enough to be able to easily check what you're running. I wouldn't say its useless under the hood, since all you have to do is pop the hood if you want to check it out. I hear what you're saying though.

anyone know if this kit is still available? I need to get my battery terminals and wiring upgraded after years of corrosion and lack of maintenance from previous owner. I almost got stranded this past weekend.

I probably need this as well.
As far as the install for the stage 1 kit....I assume it can be swapped out within 2hrs? nothing too crazy, it's just wires right?

@ Bumper2Bumper Auto
was the guy. Great product but he got ripped for lead times. He was a one man operation doing it as a side job while he worked full time. Doubt if he still does. I bought 2 have had them both on for 3 years and no issue at all
Edit:
MARION BUMPER2BUMPER AUTO
This is his website I think. Idk still sounds like he has his lack of communication/ long lead time issues maybe?? I guess worth a shot to contact him because the product is A+
Another edit:
If you guys have the time everything that comes in the kit is available to buy. I remember finding the battery clamps on Amazon. And I can find welding wire(which is just a more flexible ground wire) at a lot of places. Get some wire loom, heat shrink, and heavy duty copper lugs and you can make your own. I made my own cables for my 87 wrangler and my dads 83 CJ7. It was a little easier because there’s a lot more room. Took me maybe half a day with beer to make the jeep stuff. Also it took me about 2 hours to install the Toyota kit I bought and that was with a beer break

Thanks!

After not hearing back from him for weeks, I ended up just buying everything online and doing everything myself. I followed a write-up from somewhere, I forgot but an easy search should find it. I already had a small propane torch, install was alot easier than expected. Good luck

Can anyone post (or link to) a shopping list and instructions/write-up for building the kit?

If you follow the writeup, it's pretty simple, tbh. It was my first time doing anything like it. This certain writeup doesnt necessarily have you remove the existing wiring, but adding the Big 3 to coincide with the original wiring to help, minus the weak ground to fender. That small ground wire to fender definitely is replaced.
The writeup is very detailed, so it may seem overwhelming, but it's quite easy. He just gives alot of information so you have an understanding on what the purpose of this upgrade is for. Good luck.
