Even though it’s been so cold out lately it’s good to see that parts monkey is still a proven trooper.
Poor PartsMonkey has turned all blue from the cold!!!!!

Any info on the wire clips that you trimmed to fit? I bet a lot of the guys would like to know where to get those.
Got to ask about where your ground down the paint for grounds, did you put anything on the bare metal before attaching the ground? I guess I'm just curious if you will get rust from those areas eventually. Not sure what they did at the factory at these ground locations.
Maybe a little dielectric grease before tightening down?I just leave them bare metal. I guess eventually they will corrode, but easy enough to hit the rust with some emery cloth and have a good ground again.
I did the same thing on my red Scrambler 10 years ago, no corrosion yet. I think a lot of that has to do with how the Jeep is stored. My Jeeps are stored inside and driven frequently. If they sat outside neglected, could be an issue. It is pretty humid here, still no issues.
Not really sure what the "correct" answer should be
After tightening down not before as dielectric grease does not conduct.Maybe a little dielectric grease before tightening down?

So dielectric just prevents corrosion but doesn't conduct any electricity. I thought it helped to make better contact, too. I wondered where the wire loom plugs into the firewall why there was so much grease. If it doesn't conduct then all that grease won't allow any shorts between pins.
