At the moment I have a dual terminal battery and I was toying with the idea of using the side terminals for the winch. But then again I might do something like an optima or other bigger battery that doesn't have side terminals in the distant future.

The stock terminals don't exactly lend themselves to wiring up a winch cable with that top adjustment screw with the cone washer thing to tighten the clamp. But mine are in perfect condition so I am a little hesitant to just chop them off.

Ideas and pictures?

I am also going to remote the relays, I think I can get them in the bin next to where the jack is.

Just use the side terminal and leave enough slack in the cable so you can convert to a post clamp later if you decide to.
