I'm olde, grumpy, mean spirited, and smell like olde Cauliflower!

Gonna wire up my 12,000 pound wench!

Must the ground go to battery, or will a good chassis ground suffice?

When in doubt, ground to a buddy’s vehicle.

it should turn out about the same as grabbing a buddy by the arm, and then grabbing an electric fence. ;-)

Whilst standing in a puddle?

Shocking!
Yep, even better. Seriously though, and I’m no expert, I would think that either should work, and I would think that a battery ground would be better ( more direct ). I’m kind of interested to see the answers from some of the experts, given the way that the second battery is wired in, along with protecting the electronics.

just to confirm, you’re not running a 4xE, correct?

Moi as well.

I'm voyeur and ponderer.

Looking at the inside fender well, I see a Big Stud sticking out.

(Wow, that didn't sound good at all!)

Already in used as a ground, so tempting!

I'm thinking of finding a point of the frame simply for the wench ground.

Would hate to through off some of the electrical systems using the same ground already in use.

The best spot is the top of the battery where the other two cables are connected. The second best is the frame ground point where the cable from the top of the battery is connected. This is the one that will be less hassle with the dealer service monkeys.

The Jeep was designed for the addition of a winch. Dont monkey around, run the winch power cable to the battery and use the available studs of it for power and ground.

That's the Big Stud Sticking Out that I was talking about.
If you get a chance to post a pic, I’d love to see it in its natural habitat. I’m assuming the best access would be removing the front skid plate?

Funny you should say that ................

Somehow, my keyboard has been downside-up!

All my posts came out like gibberish!

Could not be understood!

Made no cents at all!

Found the tissue, and now things are back to ...............

Don't want to blow chunks too soon ........

Yet found a unique mount for my BIG STUD!

Been playing with that this very day.

Too a cerealosly cool isolation switch.

That came with stickers!

Which to use?

I'm leaning towards, BOW THRUSTER, because of BIG STUD sticking out!

What say you?

I warn (Not that WARN) all in advance, I have a Tee Shirt that says ...............

"Should Anal-Retentive Be Hyphenated?"
