    Heres how tater rocks his winch






    A semi battery chills in the battery box, bought for scrap price of course.


    Quick connect that runs up to the battery


    Constant duty solenoid so the 2 ga cable running to the quick connect isn't "hot" all the time. Also shut it down while winching, just run off the semi battery, as winches draw stupid high amounts of juice and given enough time usually fry batteries and alternators, ask me how I know this!
    And why go to all this trouble ? Heres why !








    Not a tire one on that car and my hf winch hardly even bogged down! And this is why I won't use the receiver hitch mounted winch plate, not sturdy enough for the stuff I do!
