I stayed with 2 gauge and it seems to run fine. I get my cable from jaycar and I think I paid around $5 per meter with trade discount.

My advice if you go with the welding cable is to cover it with conduit or colored heat shrink because we're taught in fire and rescue that orange leads are used on hybrid vehicles and can lead to a bit of confusion if your ever in an accident. I myself and many others would put 2 and 2 together but some old folk might get the wrong idea.

That's mint man! I wish I had thought of something like this instead of spending a mint on an ARB bar..
Spoke to local auto sparky and he said for the lengths of cable I'm running from winch to solenoid and to battery that 2 gauge would be more than adequate to do the job. He went on to say if I was to run longer lengths more than 3 meters then he would recommend a thicker gauge due to voltage drop.

The power cable that came with the winch was around a foot longer than the current extended cables I have so that tells me that the 2ga is plenty over that length. I've used it twice now with no issues what so ever.
Ive taken the solenoid out of the control box and have mounted it the near the battery, just waiting on cable to arrive now. That black thin earth wire that comes off the solenoid, it was screwed to the inside of the control box, do I need to still use it?
