@Sloth @Freebird32 @vrtical @SierraBronco @da_jokker Or anyone else that has a physical Stinger 500 amp relay in hand….what are the two screw sizes on top? The primary power bolts look larger, M8’s maybe? The switch bolts are smaller, maybe M5 or M6’s? Alternatively if you know the nut/wrench...

Updated spreadsheet from post 101 to include some additional data about factory Warn wiring and also Bronco battery terminals.

Holy crap....say hello to my lil' friend, lol. When looking for terminals I ran across a few listings for the heavy duty ones but didn't see an actual picture. I was discussing cutting & crimping 2/0 wires with an older co-worker. He mentioned he used a few old school ways back in his...

Thought I would share a spreadsheet I threw together comparing price impact when upgrading wire size. A few things to note: 1. This is based on my specific scenario of relocating my winch solenoid under the hood. 2. If sticking with 2 AWG, I showed some credit for using the included Warn 2...

I’m in the process of doing wiring for my winch. Looking to source 2/0 from BatteryCablesUSA.com. You can purchase by the foot and have them do a completed assembly with ring terminals & heat shrink. They have 8 AWG to 4/0 and all copper, no CCA and a few different types to choose. If you...

Oh yeah, came across this earlier today as well. For those wanting an easy button solution for relocating their winch solenoid, Warn offers an extended controller wiring kit. 78” leads, 2 gauge, new boots and also includes the ground wire. $105, but there are some 20% discount codes. Decent...

I enjoy learning so it’s fun for me. But I’m sure most the crowd finds it about as bloody exciting as watching paint dry. I’m with you that marine or not, it makes sense amp capacity is decreased when put in an engine bay. The insulation jacket is not only having to combat heat generated by...

Continuing down the rabbit hole, I think I found my answer to the above question/post. The short version is I believe the lower amp ratings shown are for marine standards and consideration of inboard engine temps. Also interesting is wire certified only to SAE standards (metric) typically have...

Appreciate you sharing. I am installing a winch and will land the positive on the M6 terminal. I plan on grounding at the empty hole on the negative terminal. You currently have something hooked up there. What bolt & nut size did you use? I’m also making up some heavier ground and power cables...

Ran across this when looking at wiring. I noticed the BatteryCablesUSA consistently provides a separate amperage rating when used as a battery cable. They offer a few types. Their welding cable option provides more data and shows 400a when used as a welding cable. Yet it’s derated to 330a and...

And on that note, I'm going to bed. Too many hours awake and I'm making dumb mistakes. :crazy:

I worded poorly but meant that it seemed to be protecting the winch wiring, not the winch itself.

In regards to the set screws, the Warn solenoid attaches to the relocation bracket in the same manner -- using the 4 torx screws that it used to originally attach to the winch housing. Looks near identical to the screws used in BAMF's photo that attaches the 135a breaker. Just the screws are...

To me, it appears 3 red wires are controller leads (normally blue, green, yellow) that snake down and go back to the winch, 1 red wire that is true power from the winch solenoid to the 135a breaker and then 1 red wire from the breaker and going to the battery. There's a couple more pics on...

I have 4.46’s in my Badlands with electric lockers from the factory. When considering going to 5.38’s I saw these warnings about welded differentials. It seems 3.73’s and any 7-speed manual shift w/o Squatch are welded. Not saying this a complete list, but seems like a reasonable start point...

Thank you for confirming this, much appreciated.

Bay Area Metal Fab (BAMF) is a fab shop. They do lots of various things but probably best known around here for their beefy bumpers. This is what led me to them. About 6 months ago, I placed an order for a bumper and opted to go ahead and get the relocation bracket and optional wire kit...

@SierraBronco and @vrtical thanks fellas, appreciate the additional insight. I am definitely not trying to justify larger wiring or knock anyone else’s setup. I just suck at electrical and genuinely trying to learn so I do it right from the get go. Great point about the snatch blocks. I can’t...

Appreciate this feedback. What winch do you have? And are your Warn POS and NEG cables also 2 AWG? If so, isn’t the power from the Stinger to the controller “starved” when you step down from your 2/0 cable to the #2? Am I incorrect in thinking you would want to continue using 2/0 on all your...

So I was looking closer at my wiring and trying to finalize all the details. When I ordered my BAMF bumper I also opted for the BAMF solenoid relocation kit which came with wiring leads. I will be installing a Warn Evo 12s. The new BAMF leads will go from the winch motor and snake up under the...
