We've decided against making a portable Super Winch extension cord and instead went with an auxiliary wiring harness that was custom made for portable winch applications like this.

The positive strand is 25 feet long so it will reach the battery from the bumper. The negative side is only 4 feet and will need to attach to the frame near the rear. Both strands are 2 gauge with a heavy duty quck connector crimped at the end.

I started the job of routing the positive wire underneath the truck when I wimped out due to the ground being cold and wet. Maybe it'll be warmer tomorrow?
