TJM installed finish winch tomorrow

I just finished installing a T-15 and warn M-8000

1: thanks for the advice on rotating the handle for the clutch I did it and had to move it back because the handle wouldnt rotate all the way and once installed the grill covers the access.

2: Is it just me or is installing the winch on the bar a PITA, trying to reach the inner bolts

3: bumper + winch = heavy anyone tring this get a friend and a jack, I had to lift the bumper several times for alignment and my back is now killing me :cry:

Tomorrow wiring lights and solenoid

George I got two problems w/ pics

1: alot of the work was done outside in the rain and dark (thank God for Petzle headlamps)

2: I can never figure out how to get pics into my computer no less post them.

I am trying to figure this stuff out but my cp knowledge and time to learn are limited

i agree, the inner bolts are a royal pain in the butt.

i hope you already wired the solenoid and just need to mount it. otherwise, bad news guinness! you are going to probably have to remove the bumper and take off the winch in order to access one of the wiring terminals. its on the backside of the winch and i could not reach the terminal with the winch mounted in the bumper.
