Welded in my emergency disconnect bracket and mounted the switch up by the dash. Then i ran the ground wire under the dash and over to the battery box through an exhisting grommet. I also decided to respray my dash board after cutting the notch for the battery wires. I didnt like the center painted w/ the carbon fiber look so i sprayed the entire dash w/ the bed liner spray, clean and simple.

I have the same battery disconnect as you. Do you have the wiring instructions for it?

I bought a long bat cable from the parts store. I ran the cable from the battery to the disconnect, then from there to the roll cage. The smaller wires split the positive to the ign coil. One goes to the coil and the other to the wire that was on there.

So you just interrupting the ground?

I have been reading about the issue of destroying your alternator if there isn't protection for it. Once again a simple item gets complicated..
