Great Video, I installed a 13000lb X-Bull winch today on my 2 door Bronco after watching this. I installed the control box under the hood. Thank you for the video.

Loved the vid, Kudos. Wear Gloves when whinching!!! 35 years of Africa 4x4 will take you places nobody has been, will also teach you the hard way, easier to listen to an old bugger. Seen nastly recoveries and which failures. Even so loved you video and also picked up some tips for me to remember. Now where can I find a mate to do all that heavy lifting? Well done!

Good to see ya back, hope life is treating you and your family good, cheers Gary.

They sell that same winch around here, but with different brand. Here it's "Tyrex". Cheers for making this video. I just bought one and this video is helpful 👍

I love how compact that winch is 😍

Wow Steve, I have the same Bar as you but was told I would need to remove the Bar to install a winch at the tune of 480 bucks so that turned me off so seeing you install a winch without removing the Bar has inspired me...

First time seen your channel. Great advise and really good production quality 👌 subscribed !!

That keyring lanyard is to clip ur wireless reciever to the winch control port cover rubber. So if ur reciever comes loose, the clip lanyard catches it before it falls to the floor or in a bog hole lol.

Great Video Steve. The isolator switch is a catch 22 situation: if don't install it you have a BIG wire always live but if you install it you have one more device that can fail in an emergency situation. As far as winching the car in half I haven't come across one single person that it has happened yet. Thanks

Mate, that click of your fingers @ 0:07 was loud and crisp. Well done that man.

Great tips mate .... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great video as always

Great video Steve as always. I don't like using isolators on winches as I have seen so many fail. Instead of using an isolator on my car, I have alter the control box wiring and allow it to activate only with the ignition on, just incase you decide to winch my car in half lol

Dont forget the golden rule. For every 30 seconds you winch stop for 30 seconds.

Split conduit is a double edged sword, dust and crap gets in and rubs through where you can’t see it

Mistake a lot of people do is not putting any or extra weight in the winch dampener

So several comments I should make... 1. Now your going to start a new fad “winching cars in 1/2”🤦🏻. 2. Make sure it’s installed properly because every time we’re out your winching... 3. Are you coming on Sunday to try your new “carbon” winch 😭😜. 4. I love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great work mate. Fun to watch. Great winches from Carbon. Love mine.

Rule number #5 doesn’t come in to play if you drive a patrol.....🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nice video mate

Now I am going to break into the car, steel the isolator and winch your car in half. 😂

When stating number 5 ...... It looks like you're on Rocky track .... I'm heading down that way to do some of the tracks again this Christmas... I would just once like to get though that part where you were winching .... Without the winch.lol

I just brought a carbon cheers 🍻

Hi Steve - i just bought the carbon winch - how did you mount the box on the sumit bar - did you use the bracket they supplied if so did you support it underneath with washers etc?

Needs a fuze or circuit breaker

Even tho it’s a land cruiser still wouldn’t winch it in half mate your to good to watch

Hiya Steve, how's the winch going ? Would love to hear an update as I'm about to pull the trigger on one. And does your code still work Lol Cheers mate:)

Hey Steve How did you mount the control box? I have same winch on same bull bar and im not happy with my mounting ( no jokes about mounting please- ha ha)

Great info mate, what air on board diff breather kit did you get. 👍👍

great video just came across it, just one thing never use split conduit as it lets all the dirt and crap in and your cables will fail still,

Only one key point missing like all the winch install videos and also for refitting a winch as well, the install videos need to make a verbal point that its important that a winch motor is on the drivers side of a vehicle and the clutch on the passenger side and if a rear winch is being fitted then the motor is on the passenger side and clutch on the drivers side for a rear winch set up. I see quite a few winches installed the wrong way and often people with the motor on the wrong side and you can noticeably tell the difference when swapped to the correct way installed. Also assuming the drum brakes are designed to work better in one directions. I learnt that hard way and now have mine mounted the correct way.

Hey did you need to buy anything else to mount it to the Summit bar or it fit straight out of the box? Cheers

Is this compatible size wise with the Ironman commercial deluxe winch compatible bullbar? For a MR Triton

Torque values on those gearbox bolts...just in case some are light handed lol

Thanks Steve, that is a good looking winch, and the cheapest of the second tier winches at about a grand. I didn't see where you put it, that little red strap, but point of contention: If it has a loop at one end then it goes on the hook - Warn style, but if it has a loop at both ends it is meant to be a load limiting device to stop the cable from unspooling all the way to the bolt that ties the rope to the drum - how many loops did your little red strap have?? Cheers mate.

Is that a larger than normal bonnet scoop. What brand is the intercooler?

"I'm gonna winch ya car onto the tow truck or a trailer and pinch it.. lol" as if, ok a new idea for someone. I have been a towie & heavy haulage operator for many years and NEVER heard of anyone saying "I'm gonna winch ya car in half" it must be where your hanging out haha... My Winch has NO winch isolator switch and it was put in by a professional. What is wrong with filing or taking some off the side of the free winch spool control handle to make it turn fully or grind some of the bull bar frame to achieve the same goal? So do you pay ya mates lots or not.. I think they need to tell you to bugger off and "Do it Ya-self".... I was always taught (Ex-RAN Firefighter) to put the dampner at the Middle of the length of tow as it can be seen and also breaks the direction of the ricochet, thus possibly saving your life.

“I’m gonna winch ya car in half”

The most important thing you should do when installing a winch is cover all the electrical connections in petroleum jelly.

Bit over the top with chucking all the polystyrene.

Rule number 5😂

Anyone else had issues with the solenoid in control box? Just had the second one stick after 1 min of use to spool my winch cable back in after the other one crapped itself.

Is there a possibility to be in Nissan Patrol?

It’s a landcruiser it’s never going to need it pmsl. Cheers Steve

Looking at this winch , What was the grease like inside the Winch, should have filmed that. Was there enough or not enough or shit grease. And agree , Winch damper on the winch and added safety one Half way.

why not put the breathers in the airbox ?

What it cost champ?

I didn't get a dampner on mine 😢

What the website you use to get the winch

What’s the code.

I wish your intro went longer, said no one ever

At that price point just buy a fiery red winch. I comes all put together. To much hassle for me. Who wants to do all that?

Are you still happy with this winch. Is it suitable for a heavy tourer?

Sorry mate you rabbit on too much and lost me at 3.04 in

Man.. Get a decent pocket knife

Shame you can’t buy a winch not made in China 🇨🇳
