I got up this morning and it was raining. Nothing like water on top of the ice to slick the roads up. lol
Where I was at thursday it was 24 below and warmed up to 10 above before the day was over. That slicked the roads right up.

I'm in Ontario... I can call and check on these cables, I think they are pretty much a replica for the heavier stock version of our cables. (There were a couple different gauge cables used, I believe this is the same as the heavier one.) I know it ha a slightly smaller gauge from the driver's side to passenger side, then I want to say it's 2/0 from there to the starter. It also has the smaller cable for the solenoid too.

Last time I was there they had a couple in stock, and could get them in a day or two if needed. Send me a pm if you want me to look into them further, and I'll send ya my email.

negs bro, that would be all too easy. i am over 1000 feet from the house, the drive way is solid ice and straight up corners in spots. I can make it up no prob but down is going to be scary as hell so i park at the road below. Ill do the vid again tomorrow. Even colder tonight!! whew. The bats are three year old 850cca batts.
