For your bed auxiliary power point check out this thread. We all have that connection point over the left rear wheel. Great spot to tap with premade harnesses that are also found on this forum https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/diy-adding-the-12v-power-outlet-option-in-the-bed.2239/
Bus bar done.
Now for ground:
I'm running a 1/0 cable from here...
To here...
I popped that M8x30 bolt through a factory hole. I'll use it as a junction point to connect the winch, a relay box, and a cable to the bed.
I've read so many articles and threads about grounding a winch. The most compelling comment I've seen, was something on our site about not bypassing the truck's BMS. I'm gonna focus on that and make the best connections possible.
Does anyone have power run to the bed? If so, what gauge cable did you use?
I have an ARB Twin Compressor back there now awaiting hook-up, and maybe a fridge in the future.
