I got around to hooking up the wires this weekend. First step was to relocate the overflow bottle. An unused threaded hole on the passenger side fender worked out well.

A second stainless battery tray was installed on the driver's side where I dropped in a Yellowtop group 31 Optima. The winch was hooked to this battery.

It was a bit of a squeeze but I was able to route the intake hose around to the fender and plug it into one of the unused holes.

The actual wiring of the alternator was straightforward. The IG wire went to a source which has 12 v when the ignition is on. The S, sensing, wire was connected at the + battery terminal. I had hoped that the L, idiot light, terminal could be used to run a voltmeter but this did not work.

For the battery ground I used some 1/0 cable I had on hand and ran a ground to the frame and from the driver's side motor mount to the frame. A 4 gauge cable runs from the B post on the alternator to the + battery terminal.
