[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 3189179, member: 7248"] Took off a few days for Christmas and with the nice weather, decided to do some work on the truck. First, installed a Warn 16.5 winch with synthetic rope on a Warn Trans4Mer 2 winch mount. [ATTACH]129403[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]129404[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]129405[/ATTACH] Then installed the leveling kit to compensate for the winch and get a little more clearance. [ATTACH]129406[/ATTACH] installed a quick connect battery cable and ran it to the back. [ATTACH]129408[/ATTACH] I can use this with my quick connect jumper cables and my Ramsey quick connect 9,500 winch. [ATTACH]129409[/ATTACH] Finally, tidied everything up with a heavy duty battery switch. The switch is wired into the auxiliary battery, which is factory fused with a 400 amp heavy duty blade fuse. Then wired in a junction to attach all the cables. The switch controls the power to the junction. This way the winch and quick connect battery cables only have power when I plan to use them. I’ve heard horror stories about people wrapping the winch cable over the roof and attaching it to the rear bumper, then shorting the winch. That would make for a very bad day. Shouldn’t happen with the switch. [ATTACH]129410[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
