the large terminal on the solenoid closest to the motor connects to the motor coil terminal. The other large terminal goes to battery (+).

The larger stud, closer to the "body" of the starter, should already be connected to the starter motor terminal.. If there is already a wire there, then it is fine & you don't need to do anything. The other large stud, opposite the body, is what you would connect to the positive side of the battery. The smaller wire would go to the wire leading from the NSS/Ignition Switch. The Starter grounds itself when you bolt it on. If you need, I can take a picture of my setup for you.. It's on a 2000. But, should be similar!

I also found the cause of the mystery latch-up for the high beam after harness installation. It was caused by the factory fog lamp set-up. For now, the cure is to remove the factory fog lamp relay.

Which RC Lift!?
Considering getting the RC X flex 6.5 lift for $900. Until i can save up and get the long arm upgrade kit for $600 and make it a long arm. Going to run 33x12.5 Goodyear Wrangler Kevlar. It comes out to be the same price of the complete long arm. What should i do?
