Question, what are the battery posts under the hood on the front used for? I was told for jumping and battery tender use only by the dealer as he said he has to do what the manufacturer says BUUUTTTTT there are other uses. I hooked up the Battle Armour front bumper with LED Pods and works awesome to the posts. I also hooked Winch to it prob a NO NO on the Winch but it never felt hot with limited use I did. Anyone have any thoughts on this? The previous model years don't have this option. Thanks for any info.. REDDOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a non switched power source so the power to your relay should be on a switched source so that your winch cant be activated without the key turned on. There is another switched power source block behind the front switches (4wd, diff lock) in the middle of the dash thats great for accessories.
