Yes, the charge wire should be on a ring terminal on the back. You should be fine stacking a second one on top of it for the larger wire.

As for adding accessories, you will go to the battery, but not directly. You need (should) use a fuse or some sort of overload protection between your accessory and the battery, and it should be as close to the battery as possible to eliminate a lengthy run of a hot wire before the fuse. This is also a chance to use a power distribution block if you have several items to add. There are endless ways to do the wiring, just pick what works for what you need.

Body Damage is Cool
I never upgraded the wire per se when I upped my alt to a 200 amp because of my winch and stereo stuff , but I also put in a box so i can run a battery in the back of the truck that also charges and runs my electric fan and some other small items.I did use 4 guage for those connections which run right to the batteries.

as for you question about pics of the truck , I will have to find them , I am not sure they are all on photobucket anymore , although I did have every picture i took from before I started when I had both troopers , up to now where I have the one that I built from frame up.

If your not too far from the island you could always stop by some time when i am actualy around and I could show you a few things that I did custom.
