Smittybilt XRC GEN3 winch install on a Jeep.

Just wanted to walk through how easy it is to install a new Smittybilt winch. We were shooting in Miami at the new 4 Wheel Parts Doral, and picked this up for our friend at the grand opening sale.

Thanks for making this vid. As simple as it was you made it easier.

Glad it could help.

30 seconds of watching him take cling wrap off the winch.. geezz.

With the help of your video l, I was able to install this winch today on my 2001 Wrangler. Your video made this instll 100X easier than the instructions provided! Thanks for taking the time to put this video together & safe travels!

Glad to hear it. It's a lot of extra work to make the video while installing. But if it helps even one person, it's worth it!

I just installed the same gen3 9.5k and was wondering if your light above the spool works? Mine does not, and after looking at the smittybilt web pics, the logo is different than the one we have. Ours has the SB logo not the XRC logo. What's your thoughts? I ordered my winch from Amazon.

[@JohnDrach]

How has this winch been working out for you? Any problems?

[@4lowphoto]

Great so far

[@jhovany133300]

Did you have to install the 3amp fuse or did it already come in place?

[@inlandgraphix]

I did not see any notes about it in the box. So I am assuming it was inline, but I can not be sure.

[@felonswithfirearms2037]

Just installed the same winch, and mine was pre-installed

@@felonswithfirearms2037 good to know! Thanks

I wired the blue wire wire to the positive battery and the smittybilt logo stays on. So it editors drain the battery. You just keep yours on?

[@4lowphoto]

I’m no electrician but I know it can be done. I couldn’t find a fuse that wasn’t constant

[@seanturpin6066]

Splice to fog light lamp, white and orange wire for pos lead. Works great!

[@mtory911]

Do u install the blue cable?

[@inlandgraphix]

The blue wire is for the Smitty logo to light up. I could not find a fuse that was not constant, so it stayed on when the jeep was off. But I am no electrician ( sorry, this is 4Low on my personal account)

@@inlandgraphix Splice to fog light using the little blue double connectors. Super easy. I could not find a fuse that was not constant either.
