Routing power cables from the battery box to the front bumpe

I'm getting a bit tired of having to keep pulling the front seat about to get a set of jump leads onto the battery. So I've decided I want to run a cable from the battery to the front bumper where I'll fit a 175A Anderson socket. Now I've acquired some 35mm2 cable ready to be bolted to the battery and am about to order the sockets etc.

I know that a few of you have done this be it for winches or jump starting other vehicles and just wanted some help with the cable routing before I cut the cables to length and get them crimped.

There are some spare grommet holes in the battery box, cut a slit in the grommets then pass the cable through travel along the top of the chassis, tied down with big cable ties. You will need to protect the cables in a couple of places (split plastic tube) where they pass over the mountings on the chassis. tie wrap them along the front of the lower grill.

Some jumper points out of the front of the battery box is another option you may like to consider:

Has workrd well for me, jump-starting others and connecting my portable air compressor.
