I have a 2023 392. We travel in it. I have tons of electrical add ons (winch, compressor, HO lights, backup lights, interior lights, rock lights, fridge, VHF/UHF/GMRS radios, Starlink, Battery box, etc). I need to upgrade my alternator, big three cables, and add additional connections at the battery. For the battery i have pretty much settled on the SDHQ system. It looks like my best choice on the Big three is JeepCables.com. With the alternator it looks like Apex and JS Alternators are my best choices. Does anyone have any experience with these companies? Which one is the preferred choice? I am thinking I need about 370a to solve my issues.
 
I have the sdhq terminals and distribution kit. It’s great. Highly recommend it. I’ll attach some pics showing the comparison of the terminals vs factory.

Hey @Why1504 -

I don't have nearly the additional electronics installed as you do, so I recently went with an APEX 310A (great build quality). There are certainly others out there but I found the tech/spec support from them very helpful so went that route. For the Big 3, I went with the Sky High Audio Big 3 1/0 AWG OFC (a top recommendation from the folks at APEX) with a 250A ANL ceramic fuse ~10in from the battery terminal from Sky High Audio as well.

cheers 🍻

I sent Apex an email earlier today. No response yet.

Yea. I wish the Epic version was available but they are having troubles. The SDHQ is a great way for me to clean up the mess i have on the terminals now.
