Hey rustyneversleeps,
Short answer yes....

You will be pleased with E steering took me almost 7 years to install! Worth the dough and effort if you can swing it. In respect to images, mine has an auxiliary battery in a steel 50 cal ammo box under the hood, using a Blue Sea Mini add a battery kit. Blue Sea gear has worked flawlessly for years. It auto monitors charge in each battery and directs charge to battery in need. It isolates each battery so one is dedicated to starting and running stock stuff. Auxiliary battery runs, Winch, auxiliary lights, E steering etc. You can manually turn off entire system, combine batteries, and of course isolate via a master switch. You are gonna wanna wire more stuff onto your rig, I’d suggested checking into Blue Sea Mini.

What I’d recommend is look to install an auxiliary but put battery under the drivers seat, lotsa room there and you can place a skookum AGM one their.

Do it in phases as you need. On mine I ran think it was #4 welding cable from both positive and negative line from stock battery to front under hood. Ran it along the frame rail protected by skid plate and up the firewall in front of passenger side under the hood. Once there used a automotive style waterproof resettable breaker. From there you can hook up your Winch, E steering etc until you need/want auxiliary battery. Hope that makes sense. Also worth it to buy the Honda auxiliary power harness that plugs into dedicated factory plug that’s ignition key activated.
Cheers,
j

Thanks for the response man, I really appreciate it. I think I'm gonna get it ordered - I was planning on using a Blue Sea Systems fuse block (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001P6FTHC/?tag=sxsweb24-20) and running the positive/negative from the battery to the fuse block under the hood. At this point I have a Superwinch Terra 45SR coming and will probably tackle the electrical with the winch/power steering at the same time. I have been hardcore debating on the dual battery setup and will probably end up adding it at some point.

Thanks again!

As said before, If you have not already done so, recommend the Honda Subharness with 4 key on power leads. One for the Power Steering relay and one for the winch controller relay. I run my power steering motor off the 6ga wire added for the winch motor. Any large gauge wire added to run under the hood should have a waterproof switch breaker inline close to the battery for downstream protection from shorts. I also put wire loom on the 6ga wire running inside the frame. Running a single battery. And while doing the winch, consider a wireless winch remote for under $20. Very handy for chores and for rewinding cable on the spool.

There are some wireless winch remote controllers on Ebay made by X-BULL that will work up to 150' if anybody needs the extra distance that work great. I have been using it for pulling/installing 80' docks with no problems at all.
