    Lol! i had a feeling it would make a few of you uneasy.

    i have weatherpack connectors on its way.

    theres a build thread or two on t4r.org where i stole this idea from. i figured if they havent had problems, its worth a try.

    I've never wired anything up and don't even want to try without someone knowledgable with me.

    Mine do the same thing. I've swapped out several different types but none have worked correctly yet!

    Have you done this before. Any ideal of a specific year to use? Thank you!

    What the heck are you trying to accomplish here?? Should I have done this with my winch?? Do you mind if I ask what mods you looked up on T4R.org?? Thanks Sir!

    But if you're using those leds the rooms brighter than if he uses the light switch so is it truly doing it in the dark?

    So are you going to install a switch that will turn your winch on/off? And then another switch that will let your winch line out/in?? If so, you could put these two switches up on your console Jake just did for you...on each side of your scangauge. That would look super nice. But you'll have to get a momentary switch to operate the winch in/out.


    image.jpg image.jpg

    I never thought about doing it this way. What I did: I ran the power cable from the winch to a solenoid...then from the solenoid to the positive side of the battery. Then ran a wire up to a switch to turn the power on and off to the solenoid...thus cutting power on/off to the winch.

    Then I set my control box up so I have access to it. So when I need to use the winch...I can plug in my control cord to operate the winch. Or I can plug in an adapter that allows me to run the winch by wireless remote control.
    image.jpg

    Of course to make me spend even more money...They just came out with a newer remote control, which has an easy to use controller with a nice holder that you can mount inside.

    You'll have to post up some more pictures as you finish it up...especially your switches. It'll look great!

    Ah I sold my street bike for an 800$ profit after owning it for 8 months. But I put lots of love into it.

    I also got my front rotors resurfaced and put some fresh pads on. They were grooved and squealing like no other.

    im still trying to figure out what is wrong with my brakes.

    I already bled my brakes twice hoping it wasnt just air in the lines.

    the master cylinder is a dealer only item since it comes with ABS, TRAC and all that nonesense intergrated with it.

    Hopefully it isnt that.

    only thing i didnt check was the slave cylinders in the rear drums.

    I will open them up and check for any leakage.
