Which Winch ? A Hitch Winch !

Thought of using subwoofer wire hookups?

 

My subs in my DD use 100 amp fuses and a big 0 gauge wire and a big (but not as big as power) ground cable....

 

Like, run the subwoofer purposed cable from the battery to the back end, then replace the wire from the fuse box (on the power line) to the short end with your quick connector's line, and run the other line to a decent ground...then problem solved?

 

 

I know I got 2 fuses and a new fuse holder for like 10 bucks or something @ meijer or maybe walmart

I did this sorta thing with my 8500lbs Superwinch. Mounted it on 5/8th steal plate. welded the plate to upside down reese hitch (without a ball). got an old class 3 hitch receiver from a JY, cut off the mounting brackets. Then to mount the straight bar with the receiver hole, I drilled and bolted it to my front bumper mounts. I cut out the small peice of metal on the bumper between the turn signals so it would sit closer to the body.

 

Having quick connects can make it easy to switch from from to back. I had hitch-pin with a key lock built in for security.

 

I used it hard, abused it is more like it, and it never broke, never ripped off the front clip. lol
