    Nice! Pics of mounting points you used for the big 3? Wiring gauge? I have the hookup on some high-quality marine grade wire that I can get custom made to any length I want. It's still flexible, but supposedly better at carrying current due to thicker individual wires within it. And marine-grade just means it'll be more resistant to the elements - seems like a good thing for underhood apps, you know?

    I'm using 1/0 OFC GP Audio wire good to carry 350 amps up to 25'-0" if I remember correctly.

    - battery ground to chassis I went to the driver side strut tower and used a 6mm coarse thread bolt on the empty threaded hole
    - chassis to engine block I went from the passenger side strut again using a 6mm coarse thread bolt to TMiC bracket above the alternator.
    - fused the power run from battery to alternator

    Still going to run a 1/0 power and ground straight back since I'm planning on adding a battery in the back
