Where does this ground wire go?

[Jerry Bransford]

I recently had some work done on the engine of my Jeep and I noticed that this ground wire was not reconnected to the engine. Can someone post a picture of where it attaches to the engine? Is it the bolt coming out of the block on the driver's side between the firewall and the fuel rail? My Jeep is a '05.

Post a couple photos (use the flash). One of the unconnected ground wire and one more from a foot or two further back.

Unfortunately, I'm at work and unable to take a pic right now, but it is the same ground wire that is in the pic at the top of this thread, except it is the one that goes from the firewall to the engine block. Not the one that goes from the firewall to the hood, that one is connected. I hope my explanation helps you understand the wire I'm talking about. If not, I'll take a picture tomorrow. Thanks for helping.

It probably connects to the stud threaded into the passenger side of the engine block. Just to the rear of the oil filter if I recall correctly.

Couldn't find a PIC from before I started ripping stuff apart, but on my '01 it attached to the rearmost head bolt on the divers side.

EDIT:

Found a shot from someone else's TJ:

I thought that's where it was. Thank you! I greatly appreciate it.

On my 03 tj that ground strap is connected to the rear head stud, very back of motor drivers side of valve cover, that plastic wire harness protector thing that goes over the valve cover also sits on that same stud.
After further inspection of your pics that end of the strap does indeed go to the hood

Is there supposed to be a nut on that rear head stud?
