Yes, I hooked up the battery to rewind it. I can't send pics on here, but if you send me an email I will send you a picture of how I did it. Offroadadventurefamily@gmail.com

No issues. I even called the manufacturer and he gave me the ok. I've had to use it twice and it saved me both times with no problems.

Ours is hooked up to only operate with the key on

That's not a bad idea, I'll probably do something like this after my installs of aftermarket stuff. Thanks!

This front bumper is stock on the machine.

It took me like 3x the time it should just because I filmed it. Pretty easy install though.

@@Off-RoadAdventureFamily so like 2 hours?

Yeah, for sure 2 hours or less if you follow the tips from the video.

Nope, used it several times with zero issues.

That is a good concern to have! Doing my homework on this and that bus bar is fused with a 200A Zcase fuse, at least on my Turbo R. How many of you have a spare 200A Zcase (or for that matter some of the other odd fuses on this car; a Jcase or Mcase?) So while it has worked so far for this install, I'll speculate that there has not been a "hard pull" yet to ramp up to the max amperage of the winch (240A). Other winch mfg's may have an even higher max amperage. When that 200A Zcase fuse blows, you will loose the entire pulse bar. This is just some food for thought....
