Broke one of my own "principles" yesterday........
"not to" buy electrical goods from Horrid Freight. But the little 2500 Warn Winch is now a worn wench. I've been into it three times, the gearing keeps kicking into neutral, and I've frayed 2 different wires. Has a very small wire rope. Not really impressed with the build quality, and can not find a good buy "used" on C/L..........
So I ....................bought the HF 5K which is not a lot more money (under 200 US) than their 3500 and not much heavier, either. Bought a cheap 2" to smaller hitch receiver accessory to use as a stinger
I never had a remote setup for the Warn although I could have rigged one. Just bought some hose clamps and mounted the solenoid right to the winch. I want it to be portable, and could of course use it in the hitch on the pickup, as well I do have a 12V cable supplied by a solenoid from front to rear of the pickkup
I have just been using "good" jumper cables. I would use welder quick connectors, but for no good reason, those have gotten outlandish in price
