How do you guy run your starter wires to keep them away from the headers? Any pictures? Thanks for the help.

Then run a strap across the terminals on the starter from the solenoid to the starter so that it is on all the time. Then what you need is a Jeep relay. It looks like a Ford starter relay but it has an extra terminal for your neutral safety switch. Go to NAPA and ask for ECH-ST83 . On the ST83 run your battery cable to one side and run a cable to the starter on the other side. This way you only have one wire going to the starter. This wire is only hot when cranking the engine. You will eliminate your original starter relay. You should have a brown wire that goes to the neutral safety switch, run that wire to the small terminal on the front side of the ST83 . This makes a great setup and should give you a trouble free starter. I mounted the ST83 on the firewall and ran the single starter wire down the back of the engine and put a clamp on one of the bell housing bolts to hold it secure. If you need more help let me know.

I did nearly the same thing but my battery and relay are in the trunk. 1 big wire to the started thats only hot when cranking
