How to wire a winch

[longbeards]

Hello,,,just purchased a pioneer,,,

Bought a cabelas Champion 3000 for 100$ in the Wheeling Store last week!! Not a super great winch,,but I only will use it to raise and lower a plow.

I have looked at a aftermarket front bumper that has a built in winch mt,,,does anyone have any experience with them,,,I really like it but am afraid it may make the front end to heavie,,,and I love how the pioneer turns,,,,

Can anyone give me insight into where to wire it to and how??

thanks

A 3k for $100. Wow. You can't beat that with a stick. Well you can but it want do any good.

Be sure to pick up a snatch block to help in the really nasty stuff.

Ya follow ohanacreek's post. It's a good location. And here is a few more winch post also. http://www.google.com/cse?q=winch+eire& ... nch%20wire

"Winch" bumper you looking at? Lol.

Yes, the winch and bumper will add more weight. To offset do the spring spacer mod everyone is doing for cheap. It will lift it back up.

Ok.
Be sure to give us a yell if you need help.
