    That's wired right then I guess. Better than having them on all the time and running them out. I thought of wiring them to the parking lights and putting a switch inline.

    Factor 55 Flat link installed, winch line spooled up. Magnet plate mount so no holes. All ready to roll!


    One issue can't figure out...my Warn wireless winch controller won't take line in, it'll only let line out with both buttons. Have to call them tomorrow for some guidance, The wired remote works perfect. :goingcrazy:

    I'll agree flat line looks good....the remote I'm probably retarded. :confused: even if its supposedly plug n play. Lots of good reviews.

    thanks Dave!

    So far so good with the bed liner, easy to touch up and seems like it'll hold up great. Glad I went with it.

    Called warn today, they said to move one of my grounds....still no dice on the remote. Have to call back tomorrow

    Thanks man -- The Trail Grappler's are very quiet for a mud terrain tire. Nothing obnoxious IMO. Too bad they are so damn heavy!!

    Only advantage to the prolink is less exposed line to the elements/sun.

    The "magnetic plate mount" is just neodymium magnets glued/taped to the back of the plate so I'm legal without drilling holes into the bumper. Ckeene gets credit fo that idea

    AH!. You remove it when wheeling? I lust lost my front plate in a snow bank. Hadn't posted it here but after I cut mine up originally. Made it smaller. I used a hot melt adhesive and 4 of these https://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=BX084-N52&cat=168.

    Hit that bank and knew it was gone. Had to get going before anyone stopped to call emergency vehicles. Search a few days later and nothing.
