Talking Got Winched!!!!

Installed my new Predator winch this last weekend… Some disassembly / re-assembly required.

A couple of photos of the work involved. Overall, pretty much like the instructions that were supplied, but I found it MUCH easier to remove the inner fenders for access to some of the clips on the front bumper and the fog lamps. Looking forward to trying it out real soon!!!


Inner Fender where the remote control box will be installed. The airbox has already been removed

Here is the template that is used to dril the holes that are used to mount the contro box. Note that you only have to use three of the holes. I also had to use a longer bolt in place of one of the factory bolts since I placed the box very far forward and there is a hump on the inner fender wall.

Now here is the control box mounted under the hood. The remote control cabel is there but it will have to be installed as part of the new bumper and the little "ears" will have to be cut off to fit thru the hole on the bumper. All the holes were painted before the box was installed to prevent any rusting.

The disassemble is layed out on my driveway. There is also an air duct component that is in front of the radiator that will not be re-installed since there is no longer room for that part.

Here's the front end getting ready to thread the cables to the battery. They go behind the remaining plastic component in front of the radiator.

Here's the bumper set in place an the cables routed.

http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=34994&stc=1&d=11683090 75

Since I live in a state that requires a front license plate, and I am adverse to getting tickets from our friendly state patrol, I need a way to be "mostly" legal and "display" a front tag. So I created a tag mount out of some plate. This mount was installed between the grille guard and the tow hook plate. I welded nuts on the backside and used stainless steel cap bolts to afix the plate. This will let me easily remove the plate during off-road excursions.

And so finally (after about 7 hours) here is the final product!

I had seen the roller fairlead license plate option but just didnt like it. Hids the off-road look while your on the road.

Nice work! Somebody's got some serious cash to spend on their toy. Are you a plumber or something?
