run it along the top of the chassis into a new hole in the battery box.

Id secure it to the chassis with cable ties.

Make sure you run the +ve and -ve to the battery rather than relying on an earth off the front bumper :)

fit a battery isolator in the main live cable to the winch aswel
so the winch can be isolated in a emergency ( belive me, its saved my 8274 on 3 occasions  [-o< )

make sure its a decent one that has a constant load of over 500 amps
my isolators for the winches are both rathed to 2500amps constant load to keep it nice and cool  :afro:
