    In the last stages of getting my US OFF ROAD bumper and winch setup. The positive terminal has a good spot to attach the 4G wire off the winch, but the negative side is a bit of a different thing. Option 1 is to cram it in on the clamp bolt, Option 2 would be to replace the terminal, or... is there an Option 3 that isn't a really bad idea?

    Photos of your setups and/or ideas are appreciated!

    Replace the terminal or get a battery with dual terminals. Some people like to add a disconect in-line with the positive so that the winch can be disconnected from the power when not in use.
