Fire extinguishers, parts & links compilation from the fire thread. Much easier than going through all the posts to find relevant information.

Halon extinguisher (recommended. Costs about $60 to recharge in the event you use it, but won’t cause corrosion like dry element extinguishers. The PRO uses real Halon 1211 and is what you want. But Halotron is still better than conventional dry powder)

Quick connect for extinguisher (can personally confirm it works as designed in an emergency. It doesn’t come with mounting bolts or washers)

Winch disconnect

Winch relay instead of power disconnect (there are several options from various vendors. Do your own research. Could be nice though to power the winch from Aux switch instead of lifting hood. But also added complexity and failure points)

Continuing the learning path aka going down a rabbit hole, and this video probably gave me more anxiety than any feature film I’ve watched. Literally jaw dropping.
For the too long, didn’t watch crowd-he puts 150 amps through a 100 amp fuse and waits, while checking temperatures. It takes…a long time…to finally pop. At least 12-15 minutes. But during this time it exceeded his flir device at >800F for what seemed like a frightening amount of time. The temperature also works it’s way into the 4/0 wiring, heating the wire all the way to the source and to the point the heat shrink adhesive melts.
Let me know if there are other resources to add and I’ll get them in the original post
