Re: Need a Winch Whisperer
Got the winch installed and working today. Took Landshark's idea to put the solenoid under the battery. I actually attached it to the battery tray as well as the wireless remote electrical box. That made it really easy to get everything tightened down before re-installing the tray. I even got the wiring figured out and in the correct in/out order in the first try (if you know my history, I seem to rarely get it right on the first attempt). Still hate my front bumper but that's up next...

Mike, that turned out really great.
You got it for a steal and it cleaned up real nice.

I like the clean install, too. Noticed that at breakfast.

Re: Need a Winch Whisperer
Thanks for the compliments guys- I am happy with how it turned out and am happy with pulling the trigger on the 8274. Still need to test it under load but I would be surprised if there were issues there... Per Kinder's suggestion, I ordered up these for the motor connections...
