One is aware that to follow the stock battery cable route, one would have to
remove the gas tank on a 2WD vanagon , right ?
( I cheated on my extra battery  cable..........went through the battery box
wall, though a hole that was already there...
then through the floor and back. Only a little bit of battery cable is
inside the van )
