As a test, I found a large tree, and let the winch pull the truck. No issues what-so-ever. It was actually a bit faster than I had anticipated.
The only installation issues were mounting of the control box (not enough space on top of the unit) and where to connect to the battery.
A custom-made, but simple, bracket solved the mounting problem using the same approach as shown in the video.
I replaced the ends of the factory battery cables (for the starter) with loop-style lugs. I found battery terminals from a local auto parts store and fastened all the cables to the clamp bolts. Worked just fine.
Their install video is real cute with the mounting plate for the solenoid but they never sent it and I had to get creative mounting the solenoid. Can be a little challenging with an aftermarket intercooler as well. Build quality is great but the mount plate would have been nice. Customer service wasn’t much help with this
Arrived in good shape, install want to bad but a little modification needed for the control box to fit. It slips back into nuetral very easily so almost need a second person to hold it engaged while retracting cable
Winch looks great, but very hard to engage winch if engages at all . Fresh out of box.
I have owned this for some time and it has has been great for out in the country.
