Sorry its taking so long, just busy with work and replacing fuel tank. Here are some finished photos for your view pleasure while I work on the step by step.

(Click pics for links!)
I went to Lowes and used 2 gauge (you can use 4 gauge if you prefer, its slightly cheaper) power wire. I used this personally because it is cheaper than buying power wire from Schosche. Using higher than 6 gauge will not have enough juice flowing through the wire for power.

Image I also ordered online a dc 100 amp breaker (use 80 and 60 amp for 4 and 6 gauge wire, respectively)

ImageI bought a ground cable from battery section in Wally World

ImageI also got a distribution block, which is needed to join original ground wire and two other power wires (starter and not sure the other one)

I bought a battery box at Advance auto for 12$ or you can buy a battery tray, up to you how you want to store your battery, I like the safety and discreetness of the box.
Stay tuned for step-by-step! :gapteeth:
