Badlands 5000 Winch Install (How To) One Piece KFI Mounting Plate Honda Pioneer 1000 (Step By Step) 

The apex comes with a very good looking sturdy winch rocker switch. I ordered one too, then realized it had it. Thanks for the video.

I didn't feel comfortable with the factory bolt length with the new winch mount so I got 10mm 1.25 just a little longer and made the install easier. Thanks for taking the time to do this, it helped immensely .

I'm not a frequent commentor on YT videos, but I have to say that this was a very good video although the best part was checking out that really nice woodshop!

Phenomenal video. Super helpful and made the install go easy

Excellent video!! Made installation a breeze!

Great Video you made the install look so easy. Also nice looking shop in the background!!!

Thanks for the helpful video! On my 2022 1000 the bumper mounts different, easier BUT! The bottom of the plastic grille cover over the radiator needed to be loosened, pushed forward and blocked to allow for access to get those top bolts started by hand. Additionally, the Honda bolt holes for the diff mount were off and the KFI bolt holes may have been off as well. Used a straight grinder with a carbide burr bit to match things up.

That was great information and thank you

Very well done, Thanks!

Nice video keep them coming

Excellent video!!

I'm sure you know this, but your Pioneer uses electronics to shift instead of just a belt. adding a winch without a door battery will put a heavy strain on the factory battery and with low enough voltage, could tear up the transmission. That's the main reason so many people install the second battery!

As far as the bolts and wrench size- try a 12 point socket or wrench- but, the 9/16 deal works fine too.

Do you have a link for the winch plate from KFI?

🏆🏆🏆👍🙏 Thank you for sharing Watch the duty cycle. I have these on my trailers, but longer pulls will burn up the motor.

Question: The heavy RED cable with circuit breaker and the Solenoid you mounted to the firewall .... do they both come with the winch itself or are those separate purchases?

Stumbled across this video! Huge help! Side note, do you have any issues with your 1000 feeling hot. Literally burning your butt? The dash reads fine but looking for a better way to let the heat escape. Took off the access plates and it helped but that’s incorrect. Looking for better options. Any ideas?

I like the idea of taking both keyed 12V and the switch lights from the headlight switch - 1 stop shopping! Quick question though... does your winch switch light up when high beams are on? I am not sure how the light switch works - whether the brown stays hot on both high and low beams or if it switches 12v to another wire for high beams?

do you have a link for the mount?

I have a 700.....think install about the same, question if you know. Plan on installing a plow.....do you know if angle of winch and/or winch bracket will obstruct the operation of plow push tube or the lifting and dropping of plow. Thanks

Can you tell me what order the small wires ontop of the silanoid? Or send me a pic I think I wired mine wrong if I press the winch out switch it kills the engine/battery.

Nice install and video but those wire nuts won't last long and are a big fire risk

Hey can you send the link for the mounting plate?

My 2018 P 1000-5 has that ground wire

Can you add a link for the mounting plate?

Where did you get the mounting bracket?

Hey man tell me how to wire the black-red-blue harness that came with the new Badland 5000 to that switch you used. I can’t figure it out

Can you get to the freespool knob on the winch ?

Do you link to the one piece plate

9/16 & 14 are the same
