You did what I did for the winch on the back... a set of jumper cables to an Anderson plug on the winch. And, for the front of the Jeep, an Anderson plug which doubles as a jumper cable source with the same set of cables. I semi-cheated, and bought a set of premade jumper cables from a wholesale battery supply house. They're #00 welding cable and 25 feet long. (The cable set weighs about 30 lbs.!) Giving someone a jump just means I plug in the cables and hook them up without even opening the hood.

When the winch is on the back end, the cables are strung up and over and alligator-clipped to the battery. On the front, it's a winch all ready to go.

My Jeep is towed by my motorcoach, so my front receiver is a conversion piece I had built that clevis-pins onto the towing base plate setup. When I get wherever and unhitch the Jeep, I put the receiver unit on, and it's winch ready. The only disadvantage is the winch sits lower that I'd like.

The best part of all? I've only used the winch to pull someone ELSE out!!
