I should be wrapping up my bumper and winch installation tomorrow, and am looking for any wiring tips. Specifically, suggestions on getting the cables from the winch, through the grill, and up to the battery.

Pictures would be nice, too!

 

I'll be doing mine tomorrow also

 

I don't have any pics, but I ran my winch wires between the bumper and under the grill on the passenger side of the Jeep. I then followed a factory wire harness up along the passenger side fender, inside the engine compartment, up to the battery. Any excess wire I neatly stored between the battery and the fuse block.

 

just go under the grill, and up the side of the radiator, and follow the inside of the fender to the battery, it tucks in nicely.

 

The postive cable must be protected. When possible I route the positive in a heater hose.

 

I ran mine the same as the others but, I would highly recomend you going with a quick disconnect.

 

I routed the same as the others, but I shortened the stock wiring loop that was just behind the bumper when I replaced the front bumper. I took the plastic shielding off from across the front. Took the right and left legs back to the cross member, looped the wiring together inside and tie-wrapped it to the corssmember. That gave me an extra piece of shielding I installed from the battery area toward the front along the fender and then down a few inches. I did this to protect it from any rubbing. I used tie-wraps to keep the shielding where I wanted it. It also got the factory wiring out of the way of my winch.
