Picked up a winch from a friend and decided to do a install video of mounting it and then wiring it. I hope this helps you with your project and helps you install it your self. The whole process is really easy and shouldn't take that long it should also help you replace or change out a broken winch. The vehicle used was a jeep wrangler jk for the winch install, Thanks again for watching.

Another thanks for showing where you ran the cables to the battery. Working on putting a Warn on my JK.

@jasongeorge8725 3 года назад

Thanks for posting the video. Minor comment: the nut on the battery clamp closest to the post is actually a conical nut that tightens the clamp. Putting a wire or anything under this nut, will prevent the clamp from staying tight. The nut further away from the post is the one to use.

Installing winch today and this was so helpful. 21 JLU has a full engine bay and this was so helpful to figure out the wiring.

Thanks for showing the cable routing you did. That seems to be the hard part for other folks when doing these. That was helpful. Nice work!

Thank you very much for the video it helped me install my warn 8,000lbs winch on my 03 Wrangler

Thanks for the instructions. Obviously, I am here as I am about to install my winch and I just wanted a visual confirmation... You did all the same as the manual that came with my winch shows, except one thing: mounting the fairlead. My manual reads: "Attach fairlead to the mounting holes by placing bolt heads on the winch side of plate and nuts outside, the clearances might be tight..." Not sure if this is a standard, but just a note for anyone using this video as a manual for installation... 🍁🍁🍁 Cheers

How thick is your aftermarket bumper ? Any additional plate ?

@shanesr72 2 года назад

I just installed a similar set up , where the winch and light bar sticks up just as high as yours. Do you have any issues with air flow or over heating? I keep reading that your wimch should be in a recessed bumper. Just wanted to know if you have had any issues?

@kramvr25 4 года назад

wanting to use split loom on my wires as well...what diameter loom did you use?

@texasfedtexasbred1803 Год назад

Curious on this as well

@Paul-yd6rr 2 года назад

excellent!

@McC-Nasty1 3 года назад

What bumper is that?

@RELENTLES007 8 месяцев назад

How are you able to get the head of the cable through the rollers. Mine is too think

@ghostlyrich 8 месяцев назад

Are you trying to put it through with the hook attached? If all else fails if the rollers have snap rings you can pop the snap rings put it through than put back on

@RELENTLES007 7 месяцев назад

@@ghostlyrich no wasn’t trying with the hook on. Ended up tapping it through with a hammer. I guess the knock wasn’t to spec and was wider than needed to be. Went through fine with a few love taps.

@pigmanobvious 4 года назад

So where did you run the wire for the controller?

@ghostlyrich 4 года назад

it disconnects so i just keep it in the glove box

@pigmanobvious 4 года назад

ghostlyrich yea I had a “duh” moment went I commented. I got her figured out now and thanks for posting!

@nicklemaster6752 2 года назад

No kill switch between the winch and battery?

@ghostlyrich 2 года назад

No they draw to much no fuse required

@nicklemaster6752 2 года назад

@@ghostlyrich not a fuse a battery disconnect switch to cut electricity to the winch when not in use... being hooked directly to the battery like so with nothing in between if that positive wire gets a chaif or cut anywhere close to bear metal better hope you can unscrew those wires from the battery fast enough to keep the truck from catching fire.

@ahmadawad7432 4 года назад

Do you know where your friend got the off-brand winch?

@ghostlyrich 4 года назад

Zero idea man, I checked with him and he doesn't deal with that importer I believe anymore

@ahmadawad7432 4 года назад

No problem. Thanks for the educational video.

@sk1ppman 4 года назад

@@ahmadawad7432 It kind of looks like a Harbor Freight Apex but those are rated for 12,000lbs

@christophernuckolls9964 Год назад

Why do you call the fairlead a ferret? I've never heard that before.

@seanseoltoir 22 дня назад

Yeah, kind of irritating... I heard it as "farad" (as in the measure of electrical capacitance)... Turns out that he's a 51st Stater (i.e. Canadian)... That explains why he talks funny, eh? :)
