    I'm attempting to connect a 0 gauge power cable to my positive battery terminal. In previous vehicles, I used a ring terminal and wedged it on the stock terminal and called it a day - It was definitely a rigged setup and would give me issues at times. With the 4runner, I was planning on using a nicer terminal. I came across the Knukonceptz Battery Terminal (version 2) and was instantly sold on the concept, but I am find that there isn't any extra length with the OEM power wires.

    In the pic, the connector on the left is too short and can't connect back to the OEM bolt once it's attached to the KnuKonceptz terminal. The one on the right and post bolt has no issues.

    Are there any other terminals on the market that will accommodate a 0 gauge wire for the 5th gen 4runner? What is everyone else doing who is connecting larger power wires to the battery? I really like the Knukonceptz terminal and would prefer it to work, but I am open to other options. I am only using a terminal on the positive connection on the battery and not the negative.

    I really wish Toyota gave an extra 1-2 inches on these wires and there wouldn't be any issues with this product.

    In case anyone is curious on the KnuKonceptz battery terminal, I found this youtube video to be the most helpful and describing it's benefits:

    Thanks in advance.

    You can mount that post adapter onto the outer side, (remove the screw terminal opposite the fuse box) and put the OEM terminal on vertically. I was thinking of doing this, but I wasn't sure if mounting the fuses sideways would cause any issues or if it would fit. Have you tried it this way?

    OP, take a look at the SDHQ Offroad battery terminal kit. I installed this into my T4R, has two different sized terminal attachment points and maintains the OEM fuseblock position within the range of the 'short' factory cabling.
