Make sure the charging system won't keep the car running if the switch it turned off at the bumper.

Thanks Ill look into this a little more. I have 1/0 I'm running from the battery to a junction on the fire wall and 2AWG from the battery direct to the charging system. My run is about 10 feet. Do you have a pic of your solenoid wired up by chance? How far u from the battery or back from the key switch and what size fuse did you use? Thanks
Here's how I mounted it. As other's stated, you will need a 4 post disconnect switch to cut the alternator power along with the battery power. The solenoid wire is already fused, I did put a fuse on the alternator wire. This way there's a minimal risk of any issues.

Yes I have a switch, I also have in line mega fuses on both the 1/0 and the 2awg wires. Do you run an exstended handle off you switch through a tail light to make your switch legal in that location?

I just ran the alternator wire to the battery side of the on/off switch and that way when the switch was off there was no power to the front of the car.

yes, I lined up the switch with the hole for the upper tail light. I've not cut a hole in the tail light for the handle, but it's ready if I'm ever ready.

Good thinking.. Mines on public display and I don't really care for that but I don't think too many will mess with it on the street
