She's got to be pretty healthy, though, to pull your truck out of the mud......

MIne's gonna work. Short term, have some rocks to move, too big for this ol' guy. In the Fall some trees to take down and need some guidance in their FALL direction. Have a buddy with a PILE of large Oak Logs he wants moved so they can be processed. In the winter time, folks stuck here all the time. Mayhaps me too. Often on the fire roads I travel, a tree down can ruin a trip. Torn between the Harbor Fright and the Quadratec. The Q, on sale, was a lil cheaper than the HF, and had some amentities that the HF did not. Free shipping and FAST, had it on the doorstep in two days. Good reviews, what the hay.
perfect use for wenches

If the current relay in my setup fails I will probably replace it with a battery switch like "ShadowsPapa" has done, two reasons I've got one already, the Warn relay I had in my XJ lasted for well over 15 years, what failed on it was corrosion and vibration. The battery switch was in my XJ too. Controlling which battery was being in use, solid piece rated high enough for winch use.
Do use extra protection to keep from a wear point in cable insulation. A direct to ground from battery isn't a fun thing, at best it kills the battery at worst....

I remember a date with a wench back in my 20's. She was fun but no one to spend the rest of my life with!


Last night, I was in a bar drinking my beer and minding my own business.

This unsightly wench walked up to me and offered to leave her number.

I asked "Have you got a pen?"

She smiled and said "Yes."

I replied, "Well, you better get back to it before the farmer notices you are missing."

If you use your aux switches, and the Jeeps pcm/bcm or whatever takes a dump, the aux switches don’t work, how do you activate your winch? (Assuming you had wired it to trigger that way)?

I’ve always gone direct to battery.

I think it’s better to KISS with your wench.
