Here i discuss the installation of these quick connect plugs i ordered off amazon. They are made by Ucen. Good quality construction. 2 gauge wiring. Had to use a hydraulic crimper to get the wires together.
Thanks! I wanted to protect it. And ill make a video doing that. I actually already did that and have the winch rope with tension now so it's ready to use.
I got the winch cradle from Wal mart. Shocking, but good specs and reviews on it. It could handle 12k pull. The front mount hitch receiver was a 9k rating.
You’re losing a lot of amperage with those qd mounts. I believe they’re only rated at 175. Some are rated for 350 amps. But winches can max out at 400-430 amps. Momentarily,granted. But still.
i thought the same thing...meanwhile warn sells the same 175 amp quick connect with their 12k pound winch as an accessory,,and they use 2 guage wire for batteries...
