Harbor Freights Badlands ZXR 2500 Winch Unbox and Install

So I got the Badlands ZXR 2500 winch from Harbor Freight and stuck it on my Carry On Utility Trailer. Check it out. Fabrication was necessary to mount it but it went pretty good. Took me all day but that included the recording also. Hope you enjoy and Subscribe for more videos on the working of it soon.

I couldn’t figure out the bracket, and the manual doesn’t show it; so this was a big help.

Nice job. Soldering connections is key.

Thanks, appreciate you checking out the video

Hi thank you for the video. Let me ask you, I’m planning to buy one of this to pull something straight to the truck box. Where do you recommend me to install the winch?? I can’t leave in the truck all the time, I want or need to mount it just when needed and take it off when done loading or unloading.

Thanks for watching! This guy has a nice set up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWGTY31sodOgbtk honestly I wish I had seen this before buying my trailer.

@@monzsterman thank you very much.

Ever thought about just using the trailer lights connector to power the winch

[@monzsterman]

I had but after talking to some folks it wasn't advised because the wire is to small to handle the load. I may over the winter run the wire I am using to connect from the battery to the winch and run it from the engine bay under the truck so I don't have to keep pulling out the wire to hook it up. Just less time on the boat ramp. Thanks for watching!!

[@johnstratton5637]

how wide is the steel plate you added under the winch n how thick and what type screws you use to hold the black boxes on with and what sizes drill bit did you used

[@monzsterman]

in looking at the harbor freight plate 5x7. I'm guessing it's 3/8 or 1/4 thick. Screws came with the box. Not sure on the drill size. Sorry

Yeah sounds like you got a messed up one. Im always skeptical about Harbor Freight stuff but the reviews were pretty good on it. So I bucked for it.
