[QUOTE="Reptar, post: 954671, member: 1883"] A spare fuse does come with the kit. The first pic shows the included contents, there's 2 fuses in there, only 1 gets installed, the 2nd is a spare. The thing to keep in mind with changing terminal styles from stock, there's more wiring involved if you guys want to swap to different terminals all together. The starter wiring is still attached to the factory battery terminals. They aren't bolted onto the factory terminals like the cables that this kit upgrades. They are permanently attached to the factory terminals. So if you want to swap to a different terminal, you'll also need several additional 4 AWG lugs & shrink tubing, and tooling to crimp 4AWG cables (not a hand crimper!), to cut the starter cables off the factory terminals, re-terminate the factory starter cables with lugs, to then hook them up to a different terminal. That's another reason why this kit uses the factory terminals. It allows you to not have to mess with the factory starter cable wiring, while still upgrading the charging system wiring. As far as function, those military style terminals aren't really any more function than the stock terminals. They use the same style of tightening method with a thru bolt, and they both have a second bolt for attaching cables, and they both have a protective boot. It's not even like a gold plated terminal that will conduct better or look "blingier" lol The last part, there are so many styles of terminals out there, I can see a problem that Jokerz picks 1, then 3 people like that one, but 3 people prefer this other one, then 2 other people prefer this other other one. It's really not a hard addition though if guys just buy their own and install them, then they get exactly what they want. (keeping in mind, additional wiring to do for re-doing starter wires).
