    Full of info mate..... do you know anything about what you want??

    You can go a budget set up with a basic isolator for less than $100 and then it the wire battery tray/holder and the battery itself.

    Not hard to do yourself..??

    I'm still a big fan of Piranha's....http://www.piranhaoffroad.com.au/pro...gement-systems

    I know they cost a bit more than others but their knowledge and service is second to none. I actually had a fault with mine last year and they replaced the unit and even rewired the whole set up for me using their own time and materials at no charge because they just didn't like my wiring....LMAO.

    Yea if your looking for a basic start
    $130 isolator solinode, red arc, projector, anything.. look around as you will find some places throw in terminals and the jump start setup for free..

    $120 for the tray, arb is a good one. Or make your own, quite easy.

    Grab yourself some welding earth wire, 26mm2 is good for 400A so cranking is not an issue.. $9 a meter from any good welding store (blackwoods) I used 3mtrs.

    Cut your lengths and get it crimped, professional jobs are worth it when talking big amps..

    And a nice deep cycle battery, $150 ish..

    I would run winch off a decent cranking battery mate. Leave the deep cycle for fridge and accessories.
