There are several large bolts that hold the rear bumper support on. They make ideal grounding points. This is completely unnecessary, but I would also run a large ground wire directly to the engine bay and engine.

I grounded the battery to the seatbelt bolt and it works great. Cleaned and sanded the chassis to get a clean connection though.

I would do the same, Aaron. I'd rather be certain the engine bay has a solid ground.

There's a couple threaded unused holes in my bin area. I just took out the plug, sanded, and used the right size bolt.
