Hello all
I am installing a optima yellow top in my taco.
I thought I herd in another thread that if you hook the winch up to the wrong terminals it will smoke the battery????
I was planning to hook the tacoma up to the side post and then the winch to the top post .
Any thoughts or ideas would be great before I start this weekend project.

I also read something about that.If I remember it's better to hook up the winch to the top mounts as the side mounts on a battery are not as good.But,I had my x8000i hooked up to the side posts on my Diehard & never had a problem with it.(I didn't use it that much though)Hey where are you in s.Fla?

 

Optima says use the top terminals.

Thanks I did not see that on their site.
I am in Ft Lauderdale and I goto Fort Myers on teh weekends . the 4 wheeling down here has realy gone down hill the past few years though.

 

Hey close! I live in West Palm Beach,thank the wheel of progress for no wheeling areas left.I actually live in the same area we used to wheel at 20 years ago.I said back then nobody will ever live out here.

 

Not that I can actually go wheeling in my 2WD, but there are actually places in S. FL to go wheeling????!?!?! I did not know that!

I have seen a few muddy trucks on the east coast but the west coast is still some good 4 wheeling ... I have herd that the p.d. has been cracking down so I have not been out there in 2+ years

 

As a matter of fact the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Dept. has a Chevy truck with about 6" of lift & 36's with a Warn on the front.They tow a trailer full of sheriff 4 wheelers to get everyone riding out here.(almost everything is now posted NO TRESPASSING)I wonder if they all fight over who gets to drive it.
