Warn Power Plant winch install
I have a 2012 JKU Rubi and I am installing a Warn Power Plant. What is the best way to run the cables from the winch to the battery under the hood. I want to avoid any kinks or abrasion spots that will cut into the cables. Thaks and if you have a pic showing that would be great also.

When I wired my winch I went under the grill and up the passenger side to the battery. Anywhere that I thought it might rub, I used some heater hose that I had left over from another project...cut it to length and split it with a utility knife from end to end so that I could slip it over the cable. When I had it where I wanted it, I secured it with small cable ties on both ends.

Ran mine about the same as everyone else.
The "intake" hose sits right where the power steering fluid container is.
When you get under the Jeep to run the cables you will the gap that everyone else is running thier cable through. Can't see it too well from the top. I then ran the cables down the left front fender zip tying as I went.
Once you upgrade to a PSC and lose the power steering pump the cables are much easier to route.

Great winch I have one to you are going to love the compressor it has a higher cfm output than some of the under hood stand alone units. I ran my wires under the grill and up the right side of the radiator support and tight to the right fender. I will try and get some pics.
