    Definitely take pics and do a write up so others can benefit from it. Just from thinking of the layout an under jeep route should be a lot easier.

    I started with a 20' long pair of jumper cables (2 gauge stranded wire if I recall). Cut off a bout 3 feet and wired to the battery and down to the front mount where I attached a quick disconnect. Warn makes them but they are expensive, you can save a lot of money with a generic pair (MileMaker?). I have both and quality is the same. Then I attached the matching quick disconnect to the wires that came with the winch.

    I have always intended on routing the rest of the wire along the frame rail and attaching a quick disconnect at either end for the rear but haven't got that far yet. I must have been planning on the write-up once that was complete, but this will havae to suffice for now.

    That's a start. I actually returned the badlands winch last week, but then somehow bills got in the way.(they have a habit of doing that) I'm going to order the Smittybilt soon, then start collecting all the other accessories. I also have to put my RC lift Bruijr sold me, but that probably won't be til next month. Sigh*; money and time, I seem to run out of both freaquently.lol

    I bought a Smittybilt winch last January. It is slightly slower than a Warn, but it gets my rig out just fine. I have no major issues with my Smittybilt. For the money, I can say that it is a good choice.
