Fair enough Tim, in my vehicle and other Prado's as you noted it is not an issue and this
is a Prado forum. But yes in the ECU models with smart charging that monitor the cranking battery charging it would be an issue.
Which brings about another aspect, most people with winches connect them directly
to the cranking battery terminals, the engine management system in ECU controlled
wouldn't be happy about that. Connecting to the vehicle earth point would also be
an issue as the earth strap is not all that large and not designed for winching applications
so something else to look out for?
