Got the winch mounted in the trailer yesterday. It was a bugger bear to get the right bolts since it was not a through bolt and had to be the perfect size. I had to waller under the trailer while my wife held the wench in place. I picked up my battery box and battery yesterday. The battery box took a while to find. All I need to do is wire it up. I have a couple of other things I have to get done today so it will have to wait until next weekend. The rain is messing everything up.

How many lbs is the winch? You need to run the biggest power cable from the battery to the winch. You'll be surprised at how hot those power cable get. Warn Winch makes some power cable kits.

I've smoked the power cable on my 15,000 lb winch a couple of times and stalled the winch too.

LOL, It's a Janky winch.. 5000lbs. Power cables came with it. No worries on that part. I won't be pulling anything out of a mud hole, etc. It will just have to come up some ramps. That shouldn't be an issue.

He installed the diff bushing from the rear, instead of the front of the sub-frame. So he doesn't have to much room the swing.

Im trying to back out the bushing.. swinging from the front. It's probably a burr on the front lip that i missed because it wasnt going in no matter what I did.

Now its not backing out either..lol

That burr will not let it reverse directions. Going backward will make the burr bigger.
