Pt.2 How To Install A Winch On Your ATV/UTV At D-Ray's Shop

[@dphil1976]

As a person that has done installs and wiring of lighting and emergency equipment on police and fire vehicles for 30+ years I know a good install when I see it. This is superb. You can also tell what kind of work a professional does by his shop. Your's sir is superb!! Keep up the good work.

[@nearbyneighbor1922]

I’m a shop teacher for 30 years. This is maybe the BEST “how to” video I’ve ever seen. Definitely the best in all of you-tube. I will check out all your stuff now, but at least I know all the in and outs of my winch install. Thanks

[@GoodVibes-yu8du]

I've not done alot of electrical stuff a tech when i was alot younger but watching this man videos has taught me how to some stuff . I love he put the remote into the grill and made it all look nice and factory.

[@MotoM1234]

Nice clean build and explained in a coherent understandable way…. I watch 5 winch install videos that were worthless before finding you…. Thank you

[@phillipjacobs2452]

I don’t normally comment on things like this but you did such a good job explaining things without a lot of blah blah blah me me me I just had to! Your editing was as good as your workmanship. And finally somebody with some descent music! Thank you!

[@hkklsaallala]

Best video ever seen about wiring a winch

[@LetsGoBrandon_]

It's nice to see pride in workmanship. Excellent work.

[@cach1981]

Hello D-Ray, all the way from Australia. I just wanted to say how great your channel is and the quality of your very informative video's. As a young man, I would always shadow my father in his garage when he was tinkering around. Despite being an OR nurse by profession, I like to give everything a go. Be it my 2005 Cat Skid Steer, 2013 Husqvarna ride on, 2013 Yamaha WaveRunner, 2013 Suzuki KingQuad or my car. With a little help with learned experience, pdf workshop manuals or KZbin channels like yours, I no longer have to bother my father on those late nights I enviably find myself playing with my toys in my shed. Thanks for putting out these videos. Cheers Paul.

This Man Takes Pride In His Work. Super Clean Install, Keep Up The Great Work!

[@RockyTopSplash]

*I have watched a lot of other videos for winch install before I found this one.. by far the best out there and what an awesome install sir! Neat, clean and setup perfectly for a long life of the wires and other components. Thank you so very much for a detailed video without all the un-needed BS!*

[@llcoolclj]

What a professional. Close enough ain't good enough for this guy. Outstanding work.

[@larryanderson599]

Excellent workmanship on the install. You can tell you love what you do.

[@Ranger42]

Thank you for saving me a couple hundred bucks. I was going to pay for my instal but these instructional videos have given me the confidence to proceed with the install myself. Well done Sir.

[@scotth7579]

Great video! I love that you've edited out the little in between moments and parts that are easily skipped. And don't get me started on how clean your work is. Dammit! You set the bar for me, sir. I knew a German electrician who worked like you. So organized and clean. Excellent! Thank you for making the video!

[@georgetullis7920]

Sweet. Nice to see someone take pride in their work! I love to give my money to these type of people and hate to do business with half asses.

[@jonkerns9165]

A little tip for wire splices. Raychem makes solder sleeves that have solder and water proof heat shrink all in one. Just strip wire over lap and use your heat gun. I use these in industrial applications. They are available in lots of sizes works great for things like this

[@blairboyce5044]

Blair Boyce Thank God for KZbin. Seeing the real thing makes it easier than reading the wiring diagram. Got some great little tips for protecting and hiding things.

[@timothyvotaw7517]

Nice to see this old school attention to detail. It's getting to be a rarity nowadays. Good work, D-Ray.

[@mattsmith6828]

My winch has instructions, but this was awesome to get an overview of how everything ties together. Great work!

[@carlvickers1947]

Making it work is one thing... Making it work and look neat and clean is another... Great job.....

[@garymonroe6748]

Now this is how you do an install video. I just installed a winch on my ATV and didn't find many for informative and as user friendly as this was. Great job!

[@billhobbs1396]

Very nice presentation and awesome example of workmanship

[@treceford3057]

I love that he shows every step and doesn’t cut it mid step or speed up

[@derekgordon6442]

I really enjoy your videos, Thank You!! I am a retired Aircraft Mechanic and have a little ATV / UTV repair shop in Hot Springs Village AR. Thanks again and keep those videos coming.....

[@DRaysShop]

Thanks! Much respect to you A and P folks.

[@bearknuckles100]

Thanks Ray! Nice to see a true professional who does quality work and with clear instructions.

[@georgeharvey3062]

Thank you D-Ray. I’m about to embark on this very project and your tutorial was excellent! Now I know just how to add a winch and switch for my UTV. 👍👍🙏

[@garyhammond.greatinfo.9225]

Nice to watch a real professional at work.

[@hastings3705]

3 years later, helped me out a lot! Nice video

[@googlreviews7813]

Great video, love the way your dog keeps you company when you're working in the shop, Love it. Thank you for sharing the video.

[@madcatyyz]

Very nice & clean install. Good example of if you’re going to do something, do it right.

[@liddell157]

I wish you still made videos. You are the best on KZbin with ATv stuff

[@GSXR848]

Very well made video with detailed instructions. Wish more people would take the time to go into the details as you did. Great job. Thank You.

[@kellypeeks6170]

Fantastic training video. Helped me to understand how to install winches on my ATV.

[@larrymyers5429]

Great job! I am installing my old ATV KFI winch on my new Ranger 570, what I was looking for was where you mounted the receptacle for remote switch, but I got a lot more good info for the install. I am doing the wiring today and I am impressed with your attention to detail. Thanks again!

[@bjsexpress]

Fantastic! If your shop was close by I'd have you install one for me. Nice job.

[@markklingbeil6419]

Top shelf install, paying attention to detail is what is all about, thanks for posting the video!

[@Buckleyjr]

Its nice seeing someone who does not know how to take "short cuts". Great job.

[@ricardocota6253]

D-Ray, you're just like me, someone who appreciates a clean professional install bud! Great video detail on this lil project!

[@BruceBusby]

Very clean and neat install. Great pride of workmanship. Super cute dog too!

[@jackrabbit8703]

Thanks for the great video. I've put a few of these on UTV's and generally miss the power wire. The idea of hooking it into the accessory circuit is great. Hopefully I can finish mine out now that I've seen a REAL installer do it.

[@harryrithman7258]

Excellent video. My install is not quite as pretty as yours but almost. The directions that came with my winch were confusing. You made it simple. Thanks.

[@brendahall7483]

I love your videos… they are informative, well illustrated and very professional. I’ve learned so much from you. Thanks and continue the good work!

[@suzannemendez7717]

D Ray you are D Man! I'll bet you are a Patriot.

[@ShadVick]

Awesome, clean install. I love to see when people take pride in their work and do a quality job. If I lived in Arkansas I'd hire you guys every time. Thanks for the vid. I just bought a champion 2000lb for my atv...need to figure a clean way to install on old 97 yamaha warrior 350

[@todd2962]

Excellent video. This is clearly professional work. You take pride in your craft. I like it.

[@suzannemendez7717]

You are a true craftsmen! Excellent work.

[@jimcrane6680]

Great video Ray. You sure made it simple. I love the way you assembled your wiring harness, it was very neat and tidy. Thanks for making things simple.

[@TheBudvtwin]

Just the help I need. Installing new winch on a Honda Pioneer 700. Thank you.

[@tomwright2862]

Thank you for this!! I have a Linhai Bighorn 28 that I need to install a winch on and this was the spot on video that I needed!

[@vtdrive129]

A little more explanation of the red wires you spliced coming from switches into the harness feeding the accessory outlet would have been useful, everyone always skips over that procedure.

[@MrGojuyudansha]

Very nice install and explanation sir. Thank you.

[@george12954]

brilliant work and very tradesman like. About to receive my winch and this has been very helpful. Very clear and concise explanation. Thanks so much for sharing 👍

[@sunjaybedi4389]

Thanks for taking the time to make this really good clear video. Makes me feel like I can do this too. Just bought a winch for my UTV. It will be a slightly different install but the basics will be the same. Will try to make it as professional as yours…wish me luck. Cheers, Sunjay

[@noybnada8519]

really good call using aux power with the fuse! it drives me nuts that there's no way to start the new atv's without electronics. makes me werey to go anywhere alone so i haven't rode it enough to even get first breakin oil changed yet. so i jus got a winch figure ill just plow snow in my drive way till i trust it. glad i found your vid cheers!

[@ttheis1]

I just finished my install with you guiding the way... thanks again!!

[@jeremyruss2407]

Nice install ! answered all my questions I had ,lol. Great ideas about how to shorten all this extra wire . Thanks.

[@woogyboogy2238]

Man did this clear up a lot of wiring questions I had Thanks for the video!

[@Shikaari1]

After watching your video, I think I can tackle this. Good job.

[@josephholland2250]

Top notch installation. Wish you were in Virginia

[@RI0T999]

Excellent work! Enjoyed it immensely. Never compromise quality work.

[@MwsEnterprises]

Great Installation done with perfection awsome THANK YOU for taking the time.............Morley Schafrick...........Alberta Canada

[@639Beaver]

Great job, clean , professional. You have very clear and concise instructions You should teach and a local High school, or technical college You demonstrate the proper skills. (I use to teach). Looking forward to more videos. Oh, video was superb

[@psttmg]

Thanks D! I have a 450 over here in KY. Your videos are appreciated. PS your work is top quality, Sahn.

[@jonbullock4]

D-Ray, the grand master! Love watching your stuff. haynes should hire you to do video manuals.

[@zx8401ztv]

Very neat install, it looks like it was made with the winch as standard :-). I love cable ties, so dam handy for allsorts of jobs, even emergency bodgeups to get you home :-).

[@DRaysShop]

Heck yeah, zip ties and duct tape. A must have, lol!

[@Irishtomq]

Good video. Easy to follow. I'm about to install a winch on my Kawasaki Mule 610. Your instruction is excellent.

[@Juan234alv]

I appreciate the detail of this video. Thank you for taking the time!

[@rob4263]

Impressive. Nice job. Thanks for sharing

[@beyourself4450]

very nice..your very talented and the right tools are nice to have.great work

[@rwat1106]

I appreciate your use of heat-shrink to dress up the already clean and neat installation. I came to your video, because I'm having issues with my solenoid pulling in. I was looking to see if anyone else had to install a separate ground from the solenoid yoke to the frame. My ignition hot, (orange/white acc wire on a polaris sportsman) to connect to the red switch power wire, only puts out 8-10vdc, for some reason. I'm wondering if that's not enough to pull the solenoid in. Any thoughts?

[@anthonycamp3686]

Great job on the install and the 2 part videos... It should be a GREAT help in mounting and wiring my Badlands 5000 lb. Winch ti my 2020 kawasaki mule sx fi 4x4... Thank you....

[@christospapamichail8526]

Excellent job thanks!I have a winch 4500 libres and I want to install to my car the electric safety must be 100 ampere?

[@rkflin]

Appreciate the video. Thanks for some of the tips to make it look more professional.

[@porkchop94]

Great video. I'm installing my first winch on my Honda pioneer 500. I'm definitely A rookie at this. Appr the info on how to shorten up the cables. Thks for sharing your knowledge 😊👍

[@jimratliff16]

Very good video! Best explanations and commentary I've seen in a long time. Thanks

[@maxknott9604]

Cheers for creating this video it has help me a lot with installing my winch.

[@smashtj666]

Just found this video.........great job...a lot of inspiration there...

[@Madman6505]

Excellent video and very helpful! I would love to see a schematic also. Not an illustration for people who don't understand electronics, but a real schematic diagram--including what is going on inside the contactor.

[@tundraboy30]

What an excellent, clean install! Gave me lots of ideas to clean up the work of the previous owners winch install that I’m not happy with on my Polaris. Note: my black Lab is a bit more high-strung than your dog! Perhaps that’s because of all my swearing when I work though! 😉 Thanks for the great videos!

[@rossmartin2774]

Very neat, professional install.

[@txmason123]

Great instructional videos. Thanks for the lesson. I can’t wait to give it a try!

[@75mikker]

Great explanation of everything. I like how you take the time to size all of your leads. Did you work in the aviation industry?

[@jamesmarinelli2177]

I was wondering what box to use and where to get it from for 100 amp exposed circuit board on battery wire and solenoid circuit board, regular electrical box from home depot and larger electrical box for solenoid is perfect idea. Thanks !

[@lanceford2854]

Very well done how to video. Clean install , gave me some excellent, very professional ideas I can apply to my install.

[@mattwiljanen2573]

D-Ray this video is awesome. Very well done Sir!!!

[@kenwoolner8606]

Great install buddy. Very clean and professional

[@silvergts1998]

Did yours have wires that had to connect to your ignition switch? Or did you bypass that? I am putting this on my trailer and don't have an ignition switch. How did you wire? thank you so much for this video!

[@TubeRLH]

Very neat install, very informative, very professional, I like it.

[@jeffh6686]

Good videos. Im going to start on my project of adding a winch to my 2018 Kawasaki Mule SX.

[@davidbarr707]

Nice clean install. Looks great.

[@feeshermann726]

Great job....PRO style all the way!! Thanks!!

[@masonthegamer5350]

fantastic job ... nice and clean .... anyone can trust you ray

[@Zman836]

Looks awesome 👍 one point I would make is to buy other colored electrical tap and use the colors accordingly so you can continue with the solid black all the way 🤷‍♂️ not that anything is wrong just to help make it look cleaner more of a personal preference than anything. Lol sorry just something I do and helps out.

[@dsevigny]

Very nice install, clean as OEM !

[@waltonrobinson5921]

Thanks for demo. Will proceed in a couple weeks on my Honda pioneer b700 4x4.

[@hammarashi]

I enjoy your videos alot. I always like watching to see how others install, to see if there are any tricks or what not. Did that contactor come with the Badlands Winch? I have the 2500# model, and it looks like 14 gauge wire was used and a single 50amp relay.

[@williamchitty3041]

Thanks for your detailed explanation for a custom layout of associated parts before cutting cabling and adding new connectors. However, the insulation on the higher gauged wires which drive their associated contactor coils are blue and green for my Superwinch LT 2500 ATV while I believe that the insulation on your winch are different colors. Please help me to better understand how to distinguish since no detailed definition
