Rather then waiting for to grab more images here are the important ground points that need to be clean.
- Of course the two off the batteries to the frame rail and motor.
- The 8 ga wire off the passenger neg terminal to the nearby inner fender, very important.
- The 12ga braided cable under the pass footwell between the frame and body.
- The 12ga braided cable from the engine to the firewall in front of the passenger.
- The harness ground to the firewall in front of the driver.
- The harness ground to the inner fender at the power steering reservoir or ABS controller, model year dependent.
- The harness ground above the drivers headlight, not quite so important.

Jack- if I upgrading or rather adding new cables from
Alt to passenger batt pos
Pass batt to fender neg
Pass batt to driver batt pos
Pass batt to frame neg
Frame to engine neg
Do I need to add a fuse block on alt to pass pos for safety?
This is a upcoming project for me. Thinking 2/0 on everything.
