Hey Bob you have a great way of making your educational car care vids fun and interesting, thank you.

[@GXBOB]

I was aiming for offensive but interesting is okay too. Thanks!

[@i94yeh2p]

I was checking these out on amazon. Now that I've seen them installed I think it's worth buying, I like the idea of adding led lights/etc. Thanks for sharing! :)

[@GXBOB]

i am on my second set of clamps. They're not made very sturdy so recheck them after a couple of years for deterioration from acid build up.

[@i94yeh2p]

@@GXBOB Turns out all I needed to do was clean the battery terminals with some cola. Now my other car started coughing on me, little mini back fires. New day, new issue I guess. 🙃

[@GXBOB]

@@i94yeh2p good thing you know how to work on your own car

[@95TurboSol]

Do the rubber washers in the locking mechanism hold up over time? Do you still like these a year later?

[@GXBOB]

I haven’t had any issues with them so far!

[@95TurboSol]

@@GXBOB oh good, I was justing thinking of buying them on Amazon but wanted confirmation that they were fairly durable, thanks!

[@enriquecarrillo3909]

Nice job Bob, great idea and execution. Take care.

[@GXBOB]

I realize people in Texas use the word "execution" more than any other place in the world. Are you from Texas?

[@enriquecarrillo3909]

No I’m originally from Illinois, but we live in Florida. The word execution can be used in various ways. To do, to conduct, to execute, etc. But I assume you were being facetious. Take care Bob!

[@GXBOB]

@@enriquecarrillo3909 I can't even comment on this without getting a hundred more hate emails. I almost did, then i deleted it.

Love this type of video! I learn about all kinds of cool gizmos!

[@GXBOB]

I got more lined up. Just hold on. Christmas schedule is kinda holding me back.

my key take away from this video "what tha hell...." "your too fat, you're out! you're out!" you kill me bob 😂 🤣😂🤣😂

[@GXBOB]

He was supposed to be right after the fly swatter but the hood wouldn’t close.

[@joshualuissaldivar8069]

great Video , Thx

[@BEP87]

FYI @6:32 the washer the cam lock rides in is rotated incorrectly. That is partially why it tool a bit extra adjusting before it would fully lock.

[@GXBOB]

Thanks, I’ll check on it tomorrow morning!

[@marti3189]

Dude, thanks! I was about to pay a mechanic $150 to do this.

[@GXBOB]

Dood. That mechanic is not your friend. Find a new one. This is probably a $50 job at most.

[@bnhamilton]

What size ring lug does this take?

[@deathsatans5186]

Hello can we tighten the nut to double safety instead of only using the quick relaese lock? Afraid after severeal relaese the lock will goe loosen

[@GXBOB]

I’m telling you…. If i took a hammer to it, it still won’t come loose. The type of locking mechanism doesn’t allow it to pop loose on its own.

[@rickriley2594]

Thanks Bob,they look handy!

[@GXBOB]

Totally handy. but i'm waiting on how long the clamps will hold through the months and years. Only time will tell.

[@javabean30ify]

It looks good. Would this mod work on my older 2017 GX (Black Exterior)? Please also note my model has a split middle row and one of the cup holders is broken.

[@GXBOB]

Wait till you find out why my bumper isn’t installed. Next video is cupholder behind the grille.

[@javabean30ify]

@@GXBOB you really can't have to many cupholders.

[@rudyzero8688]

How do you jump a car with these type of terminals?

[@GXBOB]

They are no different than regular terminals in terms of contact.

[@landminehopscotch3617]

Great video and thanks for the heads up 👍

[@GXBOB]

Thanks Landmine. 😀

[@Mata-Rieras]

How about simply using the same clamp found on bicycles to adjust seat, remove nut/bolt from battery terminal and place the seat clamp on your battery 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@GXBOB]

Or pay $5 with free shipping and get one that is made for a car battery, not a bicycle seat.

[@Mata-Rieras]

@@GXBOB why waste $5 bucks when you can just use a quick release clamp easily found on bicycles that are not being used. That’s how I fixed my riding lawnmower

[@emmnuelj6136]

@@Mata-Rieras no every car owner has a bicycle. not every bicycle come with such clamp and then no every car owner that happen to have a bicycle wich such clamp is willing to leave their bike seat loose.

[@daleanderson1727]

Thanks for sharing.

[@GXBOB]

Anytime Dale! 🍷

[@jrock-xs9vp]

Great video thanks much

[@Velocity0428]

I wish at least the positive terminal came with an insulated cover. The positive terminal sticks out like a sore thumb.

[@GXBOB]

But you wouldn't be able to show off the beauty of 24 karat fake gold when you open the hood and flex to your in-laws.

[@Velocity0428]

@@GXBOB A transparent cover would work to still be able to show off the gold. The risk I see is, someone might force open your hood with a crowbar just to steal the terminals.

[@fayk.2278]

Love that gadget

[@GXBOB]

i know riiiigghhhht????

[@toddlight3193]

are you still able to connect jumper cables to these? I don't see where they would fit because of all of the bolts

[@GXBOB]

You don’t connect your jumper cables directly to these. There are plenty of space for you to connect to on the OEM cables. The end tips have plenty of metal to grab into.

[@toddlight3193]

@@GXBOB I'm not following

[@toddlight3193]

I thought the part where you connect the cables are the OEM? I just don't get where you put the jumper cables. The OEM seems surrounded by bolts. Hope this makes sense

[@GXBOB]

@@toddlight3193 look at 5:12 . That is your oem end tip. Plenty of metal I’m holding in my hands.

[@TruthSeekerAll]

Does the levers become loose over time due to frequent use?

[@GXBOB]

Frequent use? Only time they are really used is when i change the battery or have to do truck repair that warrants it’s removal. And even then, the tightness is adjustable.

[@TruthSeekerAll]

@@GXBOB thanks 👍 was considering getting this type of terminal connector and was concerned about that. Great stuffs.

[@art2lyd12]

When you disconnect the battery, do you have to rest the radio stations etc?

[@GXBOB]

I believe so

[@rustyshackleford8326]

depends if ur radio has internal memory to save the stations some do some dont older radios dont

[@robbrown6495]

Great video, from a fellow "Bob". My only suggestion would be that I would guess that the black and red bolts on the side are only intended for tensioning the clamps, and not for attaching cables. Also - are there rubber boots available for them? I have to admit, at the beginning of the video I was expecting you pull a cat out of the engine bay, so the dog cameo at the end was at least an indication I was on the right wavelength.

[@GXBOB]

You are correct Rob. Sometimes i get a little creative and just go with it. I did not see any rubber boots sold or available for these clamps.

[@gilbertrios5283]

Lol why is your bumper off?

[@GXBOB]

I was doing multiple videos at once. 👍

[@percyjackson2800]

@@GXBOB I too take my bumpers of whenever working on two videos at once.

[@jinheu5119]

Will it void my warranty on my gx

[@GXBOB]

I honestly can't see why it would void your warranty. There is no altering of Oem functions with this mod. You're replacing one metal clamp with another metal clamp.

[@Elite_Employee]

I’ve left a double whopper in the engine bay before

[@GXBOB]

Did you eat it?

[@Elite_Employee]

@@GXBOB duuuu maaaaa you bet I did

@@Elite_Employee at least it wasn’t a bowl of pho.

@@Elite_Employee Better a burger than a bowl of pho.

[@mrshebli1984]

Why don't u connect it at the negative side only 🙃

[@GXBOB]

Hi Mohammed, having both quick connects not only support having to disconnect one terminal for certain jobs, but also supports the ability to quickly disconnect batteries for switching out the dead battery for a new one too. Either way, i would prefer to have 2 quick connect terminals just so that i have that option.

[@LEXUSLX-cj5pn]

🙏👍😘

[@RRRCCCDDD]

too bad they dont come with rubber covers

[@GXBOB]

Nah. Need the gold to shine to make the engine look bling bling.

[@ricpla6930]

*psss always take off the negative first, not trying to be an armchair observer just saying*

[@GXBOB]

I agree Ric, thanks for the advice. They do help for future vids.
