For newer truck owners who run run power directly off the battery what post(s) are you using for the positive side? Are you just picking one or do you have a preferred post? I am getting ready to hook up my ARB fridge harness finally and I never really had this many choices before lol.

ARB harnesses are nice and heavy and well insulated and have a 15a fuse right at the terminal.

This is your high amp power point stud- C54AC110-C3F2-4709-B624-5F225ED1C528.jpeg
If you are using a high amp accessory, BBG recommends to ground to the engine block. Otherwise just ground to the chassis as close to the accessory as possible.
