Default Help routing winch cables?

I'm getting read to wire in a winch. I did several searched and haven't come up with anything.

Can anyone recommed what worked out good or what I shouldn't do when routing them. I was thinking of running them through an old garden hose to protect them from anyrubbing that might occur.

Any suggestions be great, pictures would be better.

Thanks

I have the Lod bumper and Superwinch EPi 9000. I ran the wires under the right side of the radiator and followed a natural opening up to the battery. I like you have already thought about, used garden hose as an extra insulator and then used nylon ties every 4-6" to secure them together. Sorry but do not have pictures but it is pretty straight forward installation.

Wishing you well with the project.

Uh-oh, there's another mod I need to do. And I ran them the same way as Jeep08ham. Sans hose.
