Love it. Can be used front or rear

Looks like you have a late model gm truck with gas engine. Assuming you dont have two alternators, does the truck computer complain when you hit it with the 400+ ampdraw, 2-3 times more than what your alternator will make??

Thanks mate, I am gonna follow step to step, but wondering if I can power it with my second battery (Lithium 200Amp) in the Ute tub?

Im going to do this. No fuse for the wire though?

I would think it is easier to install the winch plat to the bottom of the winch first than to lift it over the side arms?

Power only from the battery the ground were did you put that

How many amps are the red connectors rated at?

Proceeds to put the bolts in the qrong way haha 😂. Great video tho!

where do you flip the picture?

Nice video! Where did you get those red quick connectors?

Under the bolt head.

Did you use the same power and ground cables that came with the winch to wire it into there red Anderson connector? I am doing the same thing soon but didn’t know what kind of plugs I needed to buy. Do you have links to the Anderson plugs you use? Or at least know the brand or amp rating on them? Was the power and ground cable a little small for those prongs on the Anderson connector?

@@limpnoodlelifestyle5552 thanks for the quick reply. So you used the original power and ground cables to attach to the Anderson plug? If so was the fit loose in the silver part where you push the strands in? And is there a better way I can talk to you? Maybe Instagram or phone?

I purchased a longer power cable, I used the original ground cable and I ran them to the original posts on the winch. No changes just a longer wire on the positive side

Is the 10 gauge enough? I am aiming for the same setup as well. How is it this far?

I'm pretty sure he said he used #2 (2 gauge) not #10. #10 sounds way too small to me. (10+ year electrician here) Definitely want that wire rated for the max amperage of the winch x 1.25 (80% deration factor)- x 1.56 would be even better.. Also want a fuse on that wire for what the wire is rated at, or LESS (so the fuse blows before the wire overheats).

You didn't show where you mounted the ground wire to. Any circuit breaker or fuse at the positive terminal? Otherwise, great video

In going to install dual marine gel batteries in the tool box, rewire the cables. That way I have more power and the winch won't drain the main battery.
