Heck yeah man, now you can pull out all those JKs and JLs when they get stuck. Sweet shirt design.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Haha 😂 lockers are next I swear ! Lol and for the comment on the shirt , Mrs shields gets all the credit on that one as she was the designer. Thanks for watching!

@@ATEMOFFROAD I think it’s fair to say that she can handle the advertising and merchandise, you can handle all the Jeep stuff 🤣

Perfect, I just came home with my apex 12x and was like hm let’s watch a video first! Good timing 😂🙌🏼

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Very cool! Time will tell how well the xbull will hold up to the task , I’m going to give it a beating that’s for sure! Apex sounds like a good winch 💪🏼 👍🏼 thanks for watching!

[@pabloescobar7802]

Yeah man Grade 8 hardware isn’t cheap but it’s definitely worth the investment

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Absolutely 🍻

[@andreg8192]

3 years now, still good? No issues?

[@bingobandit]

Little trick, put wires on winch before laying it down on base plate.

[@dirtsailoroff-road5580]

Do you have an update on this?

[@bajamedic]

Spend some doll hairs and get rid of the hook. Factor55 prolink would be a great upgrade.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

I’ve been eyeing those and they look pretty awesome! Might just get one . One day , thanks for watching 🍻

Great content,good job!!

[@eddyrivera7287]

Do you happened to know if a smittybilt stinger bumper will get in the way of this set up? Or can I install it just fine?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

I’m not totally sure on that one , have to find out if a plate is needed or not! Do you have any more information on the bumper ? Thanks for watching

[@eddyrivera7287]

@@ATEMOFFROAD I’m using my stock bumper and I have the smittybilt stinger on it. I’m wondering if i can use this same winch you have and still keep my stinger bumper or do I have to remove it in order for the winch to fit?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

@@eddyrivera7287 I would think it will all fit, but I’ve never seen those stingers that bolt to the factory bumper before! Good luck buddy

The small black wire.. where does it connect inside the control box?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

The small black wire with the eyelet on the end goes on the motor on the bottom

[@derrickarchibeque8942]

@@ATEMOFFROAD correct, but where is the other end inside the control box?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

@@derrickarchibeque8942 that black wires is the ground wire for the wireless controls , it goes with the black wire that comes out of the wireless control box and should land on a coil contact then lands on the ground contact of the motor same pole as the heave ground cable fork the battery

[@paulwise5273]

Dielectric grease is an insulator… don’t use it on electrical connections themselves like how you rubbed it all over the connector before putting it on. Great idea to use the stuff since it helps prevent corrosion. However, use it on the outside of the connection only! Lol

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thanks for sharing 🍻 you are correct I should have mentioned this better , best to not put it on the conductive side of the terminal and ok for the rest. It’s been fine so far no corrosion and winch still good as new, just checked it, that was lousy on my part.

[@gdavis8588]

Use a product called No-Ox-Id or just No ox. It prevents corrosion but also conducts. I used to put it on giant battery strings in telephone offices. Electricians use it on aluminum cable. You can usually find it in electrical sections of hardware stores.

[@mustangracer5124]

I use CRC battery terminal protector spray.

[@User1963sa]

What bumper are you running ?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

This is the stock bumper I modified to a stubby bumper with some additional strength, thanks for watching 🍻

[@danraymond1253]

How is it holding up?

It’s been holding great
