i was thinking about putting a winch on my tboss and was wodering how hard it was to install one.thanks for any information

 

It is not too hard should take you about 2 to 4 hrs,good luck.

 

If/when you install your winch, save yourself some grief and wire it direct bypassing the solenoid. The solenoid will only give you problems down the road. Instead of a solenoid just use a heavy duty toggle switch, nothing worse than being stuck in the mud with a BRAND NEW WARN winch and the thing won't work. The next day the solenoid when in the trash and I wired it direct with a toggle switch. Never had a problem since. Everyone I ride with have all done this with their winches.

 

Just a thought, why weigh down the front end of your Tboss ? You might want to consider doing what I did, put the winch on the rear! It is not as hard as you might think. Besides when you get stuck you you want to get out not further into the mud. Also the winch is well hid in the rear and does not hamper ride or trail performance. for pics and install guide take a look at my web site.

 

I have to agree with MNXPLORER. The winch is much more useful in the rear. Every time I've been stuck it's back I wanted to go...not forward. But lucky for me we all have winches and the guy behind is the one that uses his winch to get out. In fact my winch has only been used to pull others out because when I'm stuck I need to be pulled back not forward. Funny when you think about it. lol I just might swap mine to the rear of my Kodiak. Maybe I'll have to buy a second winch for the back. lol

 

You might want to look at a multi-mount system so that you can use it in the front or the rear. I can see advantages to having it on either end. It seems that if you stall out or start to flip on a steep hill within a few feet of the top you sure would'nt want to winch yourself downhill. By the way, whats the solenoid do if you can wire direct??
