Just scrounged an 8274 and will use your video as a 'how to' . Thanks much!
so happy to see GIGGLEPIN parts on there mate, take it from an Australian winch challenge competitor they wont let you down
That's awesome!!
@@jeremyrose7541 we have all missed you and your shenanigan's
we hope you are doing well !
please start uploading videos on your own channel. you have good content, interesting and fun personality, and incredible knowledge
Love the genuine enthusiasm and positive attitude in your videos. Keep making awesome videos!
i LOVE my 8274 on my JK! it's SO underrated and i don't know why. i rebuilt mine also. went with a 6hp motor instead of the 2hp it comes with. mine's got a 5 digit serial number... made in the 70's! very. cool.
Nice!!
Somebody commented on one of them and told me they were running dual 9 horse motors and rrgeared it how crazy is that..
@@jeremyrose7541 yea, i've heard in other parts of the world they do 'winch competitions' with dual motor 8274's... and like 8-10 batteries on a chassis... crazy! but, yea, it's an amazing winch. i'm thinking it's the lack of mounting options that's against more people going with one.
This was the 8274 video I was looking for. Thank you
Great video, I love watching you guys rebuild stuff, I always learn a lot!
I love the marine heat-shrink tubing with the built-in adhesive!
Super Duper Spitzer Cool 😎 Right on Chubby Chaser 👌 👍👍 Can't wait to see the New Box and finished project ⚡
Love my 8274, WindRock and Harlan.
Great job Jeremy glad you cleaned everything up that grease was nasty. I finally put a post on my ZJ truck.
I run the positive cable to the winch in a hose to keep it from chafing. Nice informative video.
Great fun Jeremy, good seeing ya now go wheelin.
Heck Yes
I love the green house builds. You can't beat the light. YAHTZEE!!!
😁👍
Did you just come back from hunting in the 1970s? 🤣 It's always a great day when we get a video from @bleepinrose 👍
Hell yeah dude I love my Elmer Fudd outfit
Enjoyed watching..
Jeremy when you do the in cab switches I'd like if you could also expand a little more on that battery kill switch. Just real quick on what you did and the benefit. I know it's kind of obvious the purpose, but I think just a little bit more detail on the explanation could be very valuable for many
Definitely thanks for the suggestion I will definitely touch on that! The biggest thing is we all add a bunch of add-ons to our Rigs and it's very easy to create parasitic draws. And it'll run your battery down. So if you have the kill switch before all of your radios on light bars and cigarette lighters. It really helps
My 8274 was built in the late 80's early 90's (Warn can't pinpoint any closer) and I didn't have the ground lug on my motor. I put a new lug on the motor housing instead of having the ground wire just bolted to a random bolt on the winch.
As usually, Jeremy you did a great video and can't wait for the next one. Of course it could be just because I like seeing a leaf spring vehicles
👍👍🍻
Good to see quality Gigglepin parts from the Uk made their way to the US.
😁😁👍
Thanks Jeremy. Great video. Looking forward to the next video. Been wanting to do in cab winch controls 👍👊
Sweet.
8274s are real popular down here in southern Australiawe run them 24 volts as well. They are the best!!!!!
Always enjoy your repair videos! I getcha! Now some wheeling needs to be done!
Oh Yes!!
In cab winch controls are the best!! I built my own in a 85 4Runner I had and loved them. Mine was just a couple marine toggle switches. One on off for power and momentary for in and out. I did have it so I could use the wired remote but never needed it.
Awesome
Love the 8274!
New logo looks awesome
that's things got some speed...i definitely need to upgrade my 8274
That video was very helpful. I have a 1980 8274 that I'm going to dig into and get it refreshed. Plans are to install it on a 86 Chevy CUCV M1008
Nice work man!
fantastic video mate
I'd call that a overhaul! Good job.
I just redid my 1974 8274 and put it on my 2014 jku, I love this winch.
Hell Yes..
Great video! Jelly of your winch.
It is sweet.. definitely one of them things I'm proud of on my rig
Love those cotactors! Been running one for yeeeeeaaaars!
Nice!!
Watching this video on your 8274 brought back a lot of memories. I worked the dog out of the one I had on my K5, and still regret letting it go when I sold the truck. Although I haven’t been without a 4X4 since the K5, an 8274 just didn’t fit the trucks I had, but now that I have a 2 door JK I’m thinking if it doesn’t restrict too much air flow and I can find a bumper to hold it - 🤔
great winch i have one. never let me down
Cool video. Very informative. Thanks
😁😁😁
Man you have some awesome energy. Keep the yatzees rolling!
Hell Yeah!!
I’d love to have a winch like that on the CJ7. Good video buddy. - Nate
That new logo does look good all lit up
thanks man!
You can't beat these old winches. I bought mine 40 years ag and it has out lasted a mess of the newer style winches over the years.
10:50 i was screaming. "JEREMY YOUR BALLS DROPPED"
Hahaha😂🤣😂🤣
11 minutes in and I realize, I don't even own a winch yet... But here I am watching a winch rebuild video.
Hahaha!! That's what I like to hear LOL
19:13 im a wiring freak and i love me some clean hi quality wiring and i can totally understand how he feels ;D
Awesome!!!😊
Agreed!
You would hate my cj project then lol adapting an xj 4.0 and harness isnt the prettiest conversion lol
Wow that winch looks better than new! I’d love an 8274 but can’t afford one
If you pay attention used every now and again you might can find one for a deal
Herm the overdrive guy sells rebuilt 8274s for 850
You keep working on the Chubby Chaser like that your going to have take it to KOH or Moab. I bet there are plenty of people out there who would love to wheel with you. Nice to see an old winch getting fixed instead of replaced.
Heck yeah man these wenches are worth rebuilding
AS IF you got the brake assembly first go haha well done mate I had to fix one of the side of a trail on a night drive
I have an. Old version of that winch, same thing, I let someone borrow it, came back broke, it has never had the same power since even after replacing the motor with a new one, I just wasn't sure if the motor was a cheap replacement, I'll probably try the solenoid replacement next
That's unfortunate. I would bet it is your motor not you're solenoids
Nice,
Suggest you look at air actuated or cable controlled rod to un-engage and engage the drum from inside the cab.
That would be totally wicked cool!
just picking one up today
Warn 8274 is the coolest sounding winch of all time
You spell scariest wrong LOL🤣😂
That sucks! Don't let your guys pull skidsteers out of the mud any more! I just had to replace an entire rear axle in one of my Power Strokes from my guys pulling a dump trailer out of the land fill!
LOL that's what happened!
I bet that new Optima battery doesn't last half (if your lucky) as long as the old battery did.
Optima was a great product. That was until they sold out to Johnson Control and shipped
production south of the boarder. Quality control went downhill fast.
I personally have received shipments of BRAND NEW Optima batteries that were junk straight
off the truck. Our shop started testing their batteries before we would even unload them.
If they were dead we would reject the shipment. Hopefully they have fixed their issues and
can return to be a great product that everyone remembers. Unfortunately I don't think they have yet.
Let us know in a few months how its holding up!
im building a custom 8274 for my Toyota truck build. its getting a home made extended drum and air free spool like the gigglepin one but im making it myself... it will disconnect the drum from the gears so it free spools super easy and fast... then an albright contactor pack with a 9.5xp motor. the end plate will be converted to a ball bearing and have supports on the back to help keep the plate and gear box square to each other under load. drain and fill/ inspection ports added with a dipstick on the fill plug. im sure ill think of more stuff to fix on it but that's what I can think of right now lol...
Yeah I'm helping a buddy of mine do his right now and he bought the 95 XP motor as well. Maybe I should have but never really had the need for more power. We will see how his does. We're doing all kinds of awesome custom work to yours that's fantastic those guys over the pond maybe where you're at are always doing that stuff
@@jeremyrose7541 im from Canada but i got my inspiration from all the guys over seas doing the competition winches lol. Those are some amazing winches they build...
get a gigglepin brake shaft while your at it too mate there much stronger
@@jimmyd6819 yeah but they're not cheap that cost more than anything else up bought LOL
Nice to see some of Giggle Pin Jim’s badass upgrades in use here, should have gone with the HD main shaft and an Xp motor.... turns a great winch in to an awesome winch.... now who knows what a ‘giggle pin’ is ???
The in cab winch controls are great, I have them, but... never leave home without the remote cable one because you can’t spool the last inches of your winch in by yourself otherwise. You know when you are finished pulling and you’re putting the last of your winch line away, try doing that from your driver’s seat.
put a set of switches on the grill too mate, in and out on the grill so you can control it from the front of the car too and spool rope on ;)
Yep that's what I'm going to use the extended bolts for on the side of the winch motor. Going to do a switch out there as well
I use the crap out of my Harbor Freight 12000lb winch for the past 2 years. Not a single issue. $279 on Black Friday. And I’ve never had to rebuild it! Spend the cash if you feel the need to have a name-brand sticker otherwise not worth it.
I totally disagree come back at me in 25 years lol. But I do agree with you there is a lot of value in getting a winch for under 300 bucks! And I do not knock the people that have those.
Thing moves some cable!
B dia espero esten bien winche irrompible es como un small block chevy aca en Panama puse motor de xp de 6.5 hp desde hace mucho brutal mas rapido se despide Rigoberto👌👌💪💪🇵🇦a y pasado en aceite lo use x 15 años todos los dias en ruta dura saludos
Optimas are (were) great. I had a '99 XJ with a redtop Optima that lasted 12 years ('04 - '16) before it finally died. I've heard that since Optima moved their operation to Mexico they've lost a bit of dependability, but don't quote me on that. :)
I would kind of agree with you! When they moved! But I think they may have sorted it all out! You don't hear about them failing as much as you did several years ago when they moved.
That winch failed because of abuse. I have an old 8074 (power in/out), Brother had it on a FJ40 from the early 70's. I rebuilt it, runs perfect, I expect it will outlast me! I would like to upgrade to the Albright solenoid!
Yes sir my friend it definitely did they basically melted that thing down when they were trying to pull that equipment out.
I have a warn 8174 (no free spool), gonna be rebuilding soon. Best winch period
that would be a 8174
@@mattcorbel yup that one, was just reading up on what the numbers mean
I never use my free spool ever the winch operate so quickly. Honestly these wenches aren't the best at free spooling
Howdy,
Great video!
Would you be able to tell me the lengths of the three small cables you made for the motor to solenoid?
Keep up the good work
Them batterys are great but you should put a battery tender on the jeep. It will make your batterys last alot longer and keep it firing up every time you start what ever you have them on. I have the tenders on all my vehicals.
Good tip..
It's nice to know you felt your balls, Jeremy.
🤣😂🤣😂 oh you guys LOL
Great parts review. I'm unsure if those 21 ball bearings are supposed to run dry, no grease for them? Also, the left side of the spool hub, did that get inspected for any needs? Nice cable crimpers, I wonder if Matt will approve of not soldering the lugs as he did a video on three way to do lugs in the past. One was crimping only.
I did research as I was curious about the grease on the ball bearings. It is also a break Those are open to the environments and mud and dirt can easily get in there. So they say no grease. As for the cable crimpers wenches have a tendency to get hot so I did some adding up and figured out that solder melts before lead terminals do so I chose to just go with the crimp!
@@jeremyrose7541 Agreed on the no solder if it's going to melt first however, at least it will keep out any oxidation etc. up until the load gets to that point. My guess is, if the solder is warm enough to melt, that heat is likely not good for the rest of that circuit either.
Glad your winch is working again! Don’t see many of these older winches anymore. And let us know how long the new optima last? I used to have great luck with them, I mean 10-15 years out of each one. Until they moved manufacturing.. After that I went back to the Walmart special because the cut in manufacturing cost clearly caused a huge cut in reliability. i just can’t get the optimas to last for crap now, one after another after another crapping out in 2-3 years, a couple even sooner barley a year. Now had they cost less then $100 id probably still be using them because it’s nice being able to mount them however. But they don’t, there over twice that. For a battery that doesn’t last If even as long as the $100 Walmart battery’s. Just not worth the huge loss in reliability in my opinion, especially considering they don’t go out like a normal battery anymore either. At least not in my experience anyways, every one I bought after the manufacturing move went out completely out of no where. They’d be working great one minute then not at all the next.. and they’d never work again after that.
I definitely can agree with you when they first moved their operations to Mexico. After that it seems that they have maybe gotten things under control. Cuz I just don't hear that many negatives anymore. But The Optimist have always been a great really strong battery until they died like you were saying. Nice having a super strong battery when your wenching! The kill switch really helped on my Jeep
😎👍
Nice job Jerome.YAHTZEE.......
😁
Jeremy wondered how you were. Cool video
😊😊
Do you have to run a negative line from winch grounding screw to battery. I just hooked up the warn control pack grounding wire from control pack to winch grounding screw. All is working fine. Warn didn’t supply a battery negative wire to go from winch grounding screw to negative battery terminal.
G2 sticker means - G= July, 2=2012 this is the manufactured date
Exactly what I was thank you
Drink every time he says gigglepin
Lol
I have a yellow in my 07. 2011. Use a NOCO tender on mine when it sits. Also have a 220 meangreen. Dont have an isolator switch. Been good to me. I also dont believe the optima shit talk. Nice work on the winch!
Thanks.. I feel that went off to my first move to Mexico there was a little bit of some issues. But you don't really hear much about it anymore!
@@jeremyrose7541 They moved to mexico in 08... A lot of what people are saying is what they heard others say imnsho. Lots of people in the offroad game like to tell you what their buddy's neighbor read on a forum post... So many AGMs to chose from now... If they really did suck like everyone complains about theyd go out of business. Maintenance is key on anything... like your winch ;) As far as deep cycle maintenance? The vehicle alternator (even my 220 amp) does not fully charge an agm. They are living their life at half charge. At least once a year, maybe more often... need to fully charge them. Call them maintenance free, but really just a different kind of maintenance now. Tender does the slow trickle charge. Its been good to me.
Yea let's do some wheeling when and we're that fan ride gonna be I gotta take off for that love that rig bud
Second weekend in October at Windrock I believe it's the 12th
Bleepin Rose count me in
Great video...... I relocated my relay box from the winch to under the hood where the old factory jack was stored, I just hammered flat the jack mount and zip tied that bitch to it... It's been working out great I also relocated my controller jack / plug to inside the cab mounting it on the under side of my center indicator panel right under my 4WD indicator light in my YJ.
I'm with you on the light bar thing... I have a 52" El Cheapo and the damn thing has been awesome... Turn that bitch on at night and it's like looking into the freakin' sun...lol... I'm going to check out those Areolidz, I also have a 20" that I don't use much, I think I'm going to remove it...we'll see... I have my lights on a 4 channel remote. One remote velcro'd to the steering wheel and the other on the key chain so I can turn them on whenever. I get so many great comments about all the lights mounted all over..lol
Sweet!
That plaid is really close to Buchanan.
Ya' got your gigglepin in one hand and a beer in the other...awhhh I'm not going there🍻
Cool show, thanks Bleepin' Jeremy!!
😝
No different lock in doors , I only replaced the cylinder in the ignition. (When bought no keys ). So when I replaced ignition cylinder came with new keys had to have locksmith program it for the car to even turn and stay on. I still have the issue of no keys that will open/unlock doors, I thought wireless/keyless entry system would be answer which I still due I just dont know how to wire it properly for my make and model. So I just need to know which and what wires I need to wire the thing properly. I was hoping you or someone out there could video it being done. The thing I bought came with really weak instructions. I bought it from amazon. I send a pic. Hopefully someone can help.
Jeremy, I have a HP dana 30 in the front, no vaccuum disco. Running 32 inch mt's. I believe the weakest link is the U-joint. What is the second weakest link and how to eliminate?
Great video!!! So the ground bolt is on the bottom of the motor. Two of the bolts on the top are for the coils. Whats the 3rd bolt for? I googled it and it looked like a temperature cutout switch with a current limiter. I didn't see one on your setup, and if you had one your winch may not have blown up. Is that right? I may be confused. I never worked on a winch.
So when it goes in and out the single terminal on the far right on the top and one of the left ones get power at the same time so two terminals get powered up to make it go in or out
Hey Chubby Chaser. What clutch master and slave are you running? Love your rig.
Hi, was hoping your knowledge of a stock 8274 winch may be able to point me in the right direction. Got one on my 78 Fj40 and I’m able to spool out but when I try to spool in I just get a click. As to my knowledge all the wiring is stock just like yours.
Solenoid is bad!
I always neatly scratch the date I install the battery on the top case.
I know they use an alpha numerical ordering system but the G makes me think Guly 12
hi, i like to share some mods on Warn 8274 that often used in Indonesia. Here, we are using warn 9.5XP Motor and replace the solenoid with Albright Contactor + gigglepin main shaft. hope it can be useful tips for you
Thats why you don't loan things without supervision.
In the next video, Jeremy shows us more Tshirts
in 2019 my wife said her 2002 f150 wouldn’t start i looked under the hood and it still had the original battery in it stamped 2001 blew my mind
Right!! Lolol
Random question, but how did you clean the housing so well?
"Jeremy's messing with his winch"... I laughed so hard. Sounds like something your mom told you not to do when you were a kid.
Lol🤣😂
Which motor did you use? I've seen that Warn now has an 8274 model with a more powerful motor to increase capacity from 8,000lbs to 10,000. I'm thinking of upgrading the motor on may 1978 winch.
Best dam wench ever made.
Right.. most people make fun of it and think it's a piece of s*** because they don't know
Warren 😂
Nice job Jeremy must people have to much money and just buy a new winch. What better way than grab a beer and do it yourself.
Hell yeah also have you ever priced one of these winch is brand new LOL
@@jeremyrose7541I have lol
What synthetic line did u go with?
Geeeeeez been missing some Jerome
😊😊😊
Does anyone know where to get the winch motor wire rubber guards that he mentioned are hard to find online lol
I misplaced mine a couple years back and need new ones
I got a lil chub thinking about pouring lucas gear oil in it haha
Haha!!
I would of been PISSED
I just fixed mine I got it for free when I bought the truck
The solenoid replacement? Will that work on my xd9000 warn? Ballpark cost?
You can just Google Albright solenoid for a winch! You never know what you might find.
