    Don't get me wrong, I love trail riding, but the risk to me is too high for something I rely on everyday and that cost me 30k. I have my Grizzly for the really rough stuff and if I break it, oh well. I'll fix it when I have the cash. I don't have a real great paying job so mods are slow and very separated as is. Don't need to add in auto body costs

    Yeah but cab sides and such aren't covered and all that armor costs money I don't have

    I hear you it's an expensive hobby, and breaking stuff is even more expensive.

    When you get a chance can you get some moar pics of your winch solenoid mount and how you ran the power wires? I just ordered a VR10-S and remote so I don't have to run wires for in cab control.

    It is a pretty simple so once you get the winch and have a look it should make the wiring easy for you. The bracket on the other hand I will try and draw up a diagram for you or something.

    Screw dat!

    Whenever you get a chance, I have at least two months before the bumper comes in...but I want to get a bracket made, and all the wires ran before it comes in so its one less thing to deal with. Scouting for ideas...Already got the SR2 pre-wired and battery installed. :woot:

    BTW, I really like the painted look hopefully it holds up!! I am not pulling that heavy ass battery out again, unless its dead. :eek:

    EDIT: The wiring is easy, just wanted to see if you we're able to use the included lines or had to make new ones. I know you had someone install tho so you might not know.

    I think they just shortened the supplied lines from the winch to the box. Then the two that run to the battery are ran up to my battery and just barely reach so I am fairly certain they did the same for the power cables. I'm 90% sure they used the supplied wire though.

    Okay I got you. I might have posted some a few pages back. I'll PM you them when I get to work.


    Sweet!! I really want to learn how to work on my truck so I think I am going to do the installs myself with some help from friends.


    Toytec they are only for the Baja shocks though.
