How to install a winch on a car trailer. 

Looks great, excellent build.

Thanks for sharing. I’ll be adding a solar panel to my trailer too as well as a powered jack

At 5:08 you say "this would be a good spot to have a friend". Awww, lonely guy, I'd be your friend. Nice video, thanks for sharing, God Bless, Greg

This is definitely your best video yet

Another great video, thanks!

Ingenious with the solar panel!

You did a great job. Only one thing I would have done differently because everything else looks awesome but I would have mounted on the tounge. I never sacrifice trailer space. You can only pull something up so far. Everything else i really like

Love this project. Planning on doing something similar to my trailer. Question: any possibility of running an inverter to the 110 outlet to use off the battery?

great set up.. I just did mine the same way.. you should list the materials and links

Nice work man!

well done man!!

Lookin good brother, lookin good. Thanks for sharing.

Great job...now i need to do mine....

Great install thanks for sharing. How is the winch working when it is a floor level instead of higher up?

Great project ...thanks...

Sweet setup, awesome vid!

“I only get a few hundred views on these videos”...5 months later the views are over 11k...nice I must say! Great content on your channel, I’ve been binge watching your videos since I subbed you a few days ago and I have to say that I really like what you have. Quality, sound and content are great, keep up the good work my friend. Stay healthy, best of luck and many blessings to you and yours, Nikki.

Great video. Just curious, did you wire the solar controller to the smart battery then to the battery? Or did you wire both the smart battery charger and the solar controller to the battery?

What is the green box next to the Power Charger? What is it used for and what is it connected to. Thank for the video.

When you said "JDS Outdoors" I thought you said "Idiots outdoors" I had a hardy chuckle.

Nice video. Can the smart charger and the solar charger both be charging at the same time?

Hey did anyone try this and add charging from the truck through the 7 pin connector? Can you have both the solar panel and truck charging the battery at the same time?

Holding bolts whilst you can not, use a socket, breaker bar and some blue tack in the socket.

I have the same setup on my tilt trailer with a tractor supply truck bed toolbox with a smitty bilt 10,000lbs winch

Very nice but that box is going to build up some serious heat probly wouldn't hurt to cut some vents and put rain guards on them but I live in Mississippi and it probably doesn't get that hot where you live

I have to agree, loos good and i am looking to mount a winch to my new trailer want wanted to ask for )even if they are not available anymore) the components list with model numbers would be great for reference (just for the solar battery setup) . Thanks

Great video. Would like to see the actual wiring. Thanks!

Great video. I would suggest putting a plates between the bottom of the trailer and the nuts underneath the trailer. I'm not sure I would trust that lumber to support the winch under the load of a larger vehicle without pulling up through after time.

Hey Homer, you forgot to mount the brackets from your solar panel to your toolbox!

Great video. How did you mount the winch though? How do you fit bolts through those 4 legs of the winch?

I don't have a drill press, any suggestion

Thanks for the video what is the red thing you have on the front of the trailer?

Thanks for the video, looking at doing the same for my trailer in the next week or so. Question.... I know the winches are fairly weatherproof, but any concerns/problems about water getting in through the fairlead hole?

What size trailer and what are the dimensions of the box ?

What is it we are supposed to be seeing in the dark? Lights?

That was an outstanding video, really like the work. The only question I have is how did you secure the box and the winch to the trailer structure? I know how you mounted it, outstanding instruction but wood isn't going to hold that in winch in place winching something up there... Thanks man!

Am I correct in saying the solar panel trickle charges the battery and or you can plug the 110 in to an outlet to charge the battery via that charger. So 2 separate ways to charge the battery.

Nice and clean install. That looks like a 16 ft trailer and I have a similar one but a Carson. Do you have any concerns of the box taking up deck space? I just installed a winch but need a toolbox. I was looking at putting the box on the tongue but not sure. Also is that a tilt bed trailer?

Where did you buy the jumper to plug in the battery charger from the outside

i like the concept but i also know that leaving that solar panel or atleast the ones from menards say to unplug or they will drain a battery

Where can I get the power plug u have mounted on the side of your box for the extension cord. Been looking all over for one. Thank you

Great vid. Do you a link for the solar and 110v onboard charger.

What is the NOCO GCP1E 15 Amp AC Port Plug, 125 Volt Power Inlet Socket, Charger Plug, And Waterproof Electrical Outlet Receptacle With 6-Foot Integrated Outdoor Extension Cord for?

Just wondering why did you mount the box on the deck and not forward on the frame? Very nice setup. Ill be doing something similar.

Have that same set up with 12000 pound which. How did the solar panel system work and what is the name of the solar panel where can I get it?

Nice video , do you think that the 4 bolts are strong enough to pull a car on the trailer though?

I would have used a 1/4 plate under trailer as well to provide a much more mounting plate

How do you keep water from getting in the front hole for the winch rope? We are in the middle of the project and I’m trying to figure out what I can do to get water from coming in the front.

Do you have a list of materials you used? Solar panel, trickle charger & winch? Tight lines, Capt. Kev

Hey where did you get that winch plate

I’d like to know what exactly he used with links of possible and how the set up is holding up after a year. Cause I want to do this for my trailer!

should get some flat metal so you can mount it to the metal beams under trailer, them boards will break

The plug on the side where did you purchase thanks in advance

Do you have a short list of the battery/solar panel/inverter/charge controller you can provide? Assume you got everything on Amazon?

Please but in a G.P.S I had my trailer stolen Saturday any way great video thks

Nice video Sooo where can us viewers get ahold of one

I’d like to know where you got the charger and the solar panel please great idea looking to do something similar. I guess all the parts would be cool.

Nice clean professional looking project. What was the cost for the project? Insert a materials list in comments section.

What watt/amp is the solar charger? Also what 110 charger did you use 1,6 or 10?

How is it holding up?

Newbie here... what is the battery for

What are the dimensions of that box?

Why would you mount the box like that, your taking up 2’ of your deck space on the trailer.

Should have mounted it on the tongue of the trailer like it's intended. And ran the winch out the back of the box. Would have freed up all that deck space.

How long does your winch run on the battery.

Lock washers should be on the nut side, not the bolt-head side.

You really need to go into a cross member with your winch mount.

Doesn’t seem like the winch will be sitting high enough

This is more of a "look at what I did" video as opposed to an "instructional" video.
