Badlands has 2 different 12,000lbs winches. The wench plate says its for Badlands 12,000lbs, but I wonder if there’s a difference in the regular one vs the Badlands Apex 12,000lbs version.
@@dirttrekking4321 I just installed the Badlands Apex 12,000lbs on my wrangler. The bumper I installed came with a winch plate that said it was for a 12,000lbs wench but the holes were 1" off center so I had to redrill them and cut a piece off the plate to get it to work.
Did your battery go bad after running the winch with the engine off? I did that in my JKU and had to replace the battery 😂because it fried it up completely. I’d recommend getting the $90 solenoid (from Warn) to powered the winch from a switch pod. Nice vid! It’s gonna easy to slap that winch on my new Gladi.
Thanks for the comment. No my battery did not go bad, I also installed one on my TJ with no problems so far. I may get the better solenoid just for peace of mind though.

Good question, I’m not sure.

Is the free spool handle solid or hollow in the middle? When you ground it down was that before or after installing it?
It’s solid. I removed it after installing the winch.
I got the same winch, but I need the bracket that it set in and the piece for the front of the bumper to cover up everything where can I get that?
The plate is from ATP, I can’t remember where I bought it.
What size tires and wheel spacers do you have?
37”. No wheel spacers.
