After giving it much thought, I decided where to install the bulkhead connector.



I made a bracket to help support the group 65 battery tray. I made it multi-functional by adding a flat space on top to mount electrical components. I mounted a heavy duty bus bar down below, which will be a 12 volt power source for the winch, stereo system, etc.





This twin bus bar will be mounted behind the dash. This will provide a central place for a ground, and for a switched power source.
