    Starting battery next to the engine. I have not reconnected the Switch Pro at this time. Need to rewire some grounds and clean up excess wire. So far, everything seems good. The winch cabling and switch will be installed at a later date.
    Thanks Matt.

    I do production runs about once a month right now... but I'll be doing one in the next two weeks. Let me know if I can whip something up for you.

    I haven't had time to install mine, so I had my brother @hamiltonuh60 come to Hawaii from Kentucky to install mine for me. He's a little jealous of the 4.0 :cool: and the tormach behind him :laughing:

    Looks good - been working on mine today as well (and used your pic to help me plan my wiring, thanks for posting it). You might want to check those battery terminals - a couple look like they're a little high. On my yellow tops if the terminal was at the top of the post I could wiggle it off even though the terminal was tight. I had to tap them down a bit for a good bite.

    Thank you. I had managed to get the fender side positive terminal better seated but the lengths of the cables are causing an issue.

    Matt, I hope Overland Expo was a great trip for you. Peeps actually seeing your system/setups have to be impressed with the offering. I know I am as well as others. Let's get this this thread going again.

    Let's see some pics folks of @HeliMedic systems installed.

    So I completely finished the install a few days ago, and finally decided where to mount the switch. Since I have no room anywhere else, I decided to mount it to the overhead console. I'll eventually, maybe, add another switch up there, so decided to start with this one. Matt leaves you with plenty of loom to mount it anywhere really, and I only had about 2 feet I needed to loop and tuck away.

    And pics of the final product, shortened the winch cables, but only had 2 awg cable lugs locally, and of course I couldn't wait to source any smaller. It works but I may change them to the smaller due to my ocd, but I'm not sure if I left enough cable.
