your the man.

 

m8000s. Thinking about relocating solenoid when i get some time.

 

Anyone have a part number for a WARN one? Might be able to scoop one of ebay for $20 something if it is the right one. Any help Please?

 

Hooked up 3 winches to this buoy. total of about 30,000 lbs of pul between the three trucks. didn't stand a chance. just started pulling our trucks towards the water. buried steel cable puts up quite the fight.



also saved a nearly gone tundra. tried it with one truck and just started sliding towards the tundra. hooked up a second truck and got it out before the tide got to it.





tried to find out how deep the hole they dug was, and almost lost a shoe to the vacuum.



SMKYTXN saved an FJ as well.

 

I got a grinder and a set of 4 foot bolt cutters. That bod boy would have come home one way or another

 

Relocated my smittybilt solenoid this weekend.

 

Nice

 

I'll call warn in the morning. Have to call gloomis too, so it will go on my to do list

 

never seen this thread? weird....

Warn customer service is freaking awesome.

 

Yup just spoke with them today and they are the best

 

Nice to see that some companies care about there customers.

 

Got my Recon 10,500 hooked up this weekend. Had to divorce the contactor and make new cables. By the time I finished nickle and diming this thing together I could have bought a Warn. I mounted contactor in the bumper. Its not in a weather proof box so I plasti dipped the hell out of it to hopefully prevent moisture from destroying it. I got to winch someone out of the mud already and it worked great. It was generally a PITA to get installed and I wish now that I would have bought something else. But its in, it works, and here it is:

 

jw why do you have your winch rope so far out on both d rings?

 

I would be worried about the UV with that much exposed.

 

same here ^

 

Non issue with cable. Then again, I would be worried about kinks with cable.

To each their own. Just be careful. Inspect your gear closely before each use

 

you guys are crazy running exposed wire with just the crappy manufacturers isolation on them in a truck that goes offroad.

I see some good campfire stories wil be popping up in here sooner than later

 

It was to keep the shackles from rattling or getting stolen. Maybe I'll unhook it from one shackle and pull it in. There's a sleeve over the line (now all the way to the end) so I wasn't worried about UV. Maybe I should be. This is my first synthetic line
