I got the ZXR on an open box markdown, plus Parking Lot sale discount. It came with both remotes etc but the wiring doesn't have the disconnect - which I already ordered for a inverter install. "Unboxing" means first time opening, not a day later when modifications are already done. Moot point, I'm covered, and it's a good option to keep all the wiring from tangling up in storage. Yes, all winches have a "variable" rate of pull power, with the max exerted on the first wrap of the drum. For the most part once something is moving the worst part of the friction sticking it in place is overcome. If dragging logs etc across open ground, tho, you could find a crossover point where it's not doing as well. Still, it beats snapping a drag strap and losing the back window of your Jeep.
I gave your video a thumbs up because overall i found it helpful and informative, but may i suggest better lighting and showing exactly where you zip tied the charger
It connects to the mounting plate sold to install it. The winch attaches to the mounting plate, the plate attaches to either a hitch tube or trailer, frame etc.
@@user-xx8eo3ni8p I was putting it on my tractor and it already had a mounting plate but this winch wouldn't line up with the holes. Found one that did and fairlead was built in
After months of annoyance and ready to spend $200 on all new TPS for my 2011 Jeep Liberty, today I was finally able to turn my annoying TPMS dash light off by following your video and using both the iCar Pro OBD and J-scan application. It's been a while since this video was posted so the in app price to register your VIN is now $23. Well worth it though in my opinion. Not only did it turn off my TPMS light but it has TONS of vehicle data and controls that I never had access to before. Thank you for making this video!
I get it and and am all for fixing things the right way. I was going through the process of replacing them as they went bad, but I continued to have failures and got sick of spending money on this. Others have mentioned spending hundreds of dollars and they aren't wrong. If one day you get fed up on spending the money too, you know where you can find a solution to the annoying light.
Yeah I have been pretty busy with some life changing stuff but have every intention on getting back into my videos. Thank you for the tip on the coating. I watched a video on it and will be placing an order.
I ordered one on Ebay used for $ 36 + tax but I got free shipping I should get it in the mail USPS on Oct 7 thank you for showing me what I'm getting and how it works
It should be noted, today they currently have 2 models of the 2500. This one, and the badlands 2500 ZXR. It's probably worth getting the ZXR (and oddly often the same price). The ZXR has a robust knob for free pulling (the original was cheap), comes with 2 remotes (manual and wireless), and the winch hook is removeable and comes with a removeable shackle too so you can easily swap out the hook or shackle, and don't need to take apart the bracket like the original. After getting the ZXR, some things I wasn't aware until reading the manual. The lbs it can safely handle varies on how many layers of wire are on the spool. That's to say, if you pull the entire wire completely out you can winch 2500 lbs for the first 6 feet. Then when you start to get 2 layers of wire you can tow 2045 lbs for 13.3', 3 layers 1731lbs for 21.9', 4 layers 1500 lbs for 31.8', 5 layers 1324 lbs for 43.1' and 6 layers 1184 lbs for 50'. So if you want to tow something all the way the winch can only handle 1184 lbs for the last 7 feet. Also, under full load you can only run it for 45 seconds then needs over a 14 minute wait to cool off. Again that's under full load. One last thing I wasn't aware, you can winch things up to 45 degree angles left and right, but only 15 degrees up or down so the winch should be pretty close to the same level as what you're winching, but what you're winching can be pretty far off to the sides.
So far this little guy has not let me down, pulled down that shed, hoisted an engine, pulled my tool box on a trailer which is the 2nd from largest Harbor Freight makes. Winched a motor cycle onto the trailer also. Both would make a great choice but if ZXR is the same price I would jump on it as well. Thanks for the heads up.
I was very impressed with the setup. Do you have a link that I can find the setup minus the Harbor freight winch. I'm very familiar with harbor freight already. TY in advance. Great job.
thank you, i kind regardles your help. this ligth was driving me crazy. I done just like you discribe in you video, and now my tpms system is disable. i appreciate you great help. i hope you wil be better in you blessed life always.
Just wondering bout the side steps on your jeep to help climb into your jeep .. my one doesn't actually have any .. Did you install those yourself aswell ?
Thanks for the video... Does this winch have an auto stop? In other words does it stop automatically when you wind the cable in fully so as not to over retract and damage your equipment? My best, Ray
I love these Nikons, mostly I’m a Cannon gal but these take some great macro pictures. Thanks for a great video and for the reminder to not forget about them.
So far I like this chromebook. Not quite strong enough to play Mario64 online bc it lags too much, and it would be nice to have some backlighting with the keyboard, but other than that it works great. I would love to get an Acer Swift 3, or even the HP Pavilion 15 gaming laptop
Great video you saved me a lot of work I was going to mount my winch in the back of my truck once I saw that bracket I knew it was the way to go the best part is you just take it off and stored in the bed of the truck in the toolbox, the only thing I did notice was the part about removing the pins out of the guide to fit your hook through I didn't have the proper tool to take off the c clips so I just took off the hook and threaded the cable through and then put the hook back on. Anyway thanks for the video you saved alot of time and money
