Funny thing, I got stuck in the deepest mud and had 20 minutes to get to my nearest harbor freight. Watched this video and installed it in the deep mud and got myself out. Thank you for this video! Haha
Did you walk, or drive your truck?
Dang dude that sounds like determination
You must have been driving a ford too 😂
I was looking up how to hook up the wiring; and, this video even shows me some things of what not to do. LOL. Thanks for leading the way!
That spark brought me back to the days in OSHA class. Grounded current is dangerous. Thanks for the upload.
This was a great video. I laughed when you touched the postitive lead with your wrench. Everyone's made that mistake.
We all been there and jumped back like we almost died lol
Remember kids, if your gonna work on electronics, disconnect the battery
I have the same one. Haven’t installed it yet but I’m going to soon! Badlands did an awesome job on this winch! Really competitive with industry leaders!!
This video although fast, showed me how to wire my wires on my wrangler, made it look easy
Most excellent dude! Thank you for taking the time!
Nice clean install video!! Thanks, Cold Creek!
i have watched probably 9 videos about installing winches and you the first one to actually install the winch and not just wire it up. thank you
Nice clean install. I have seen a couple of videos of this winch in action and am pretty impressed. It's great that a less expensive option like this is out there. Great video.
Great video! I was able to install mine on my Jeep! Thank you!
Nice setup !!! Great video !!!
Been using this same winch for 3 years on my cj5. Mainly only off-road, but I do lift motorcycles with it using a pulley in the garage from the front on the jeep. Its a beast. No fails yet in any condition, but I've never pulled a full 12k.
Ah, you practice the two step forward one step back way of installing equipment like I do, it all works in the end!
I bought the Badlands 12000 for $320 after tax. I will mount it on my home made flat bed truck. I will be uploading some videos soon. Awesome video.
I am building my current hitch mount so here I am again looking at this so I can weld some plates together. I should have a video by Monday on my project too.
Great video man ! Thank you ❤
That’s a really good looking Ford! I just got a steel bumper with a winch mount for my Dodge I think I might buy this winch, this was a good video!
Nice job brother!
Nice job and nice truck
Nice set up. I have an 04 Z71 Suburban with a used Warn winch mount I'm gonna get the same winch this Farthers day sale at Harbor Frieght. $299.
Gonna weld the bolts on mine. If I need to take it off just ground them off and get some new ones. Got a tweaker problem on my neighborhood.
Charlie Gun yeah in my neighborhood I have the regular vehicle security system but I also have a electrical kill switch and a fuel cutoff both hidden within the vehicle as a way to stop theft. I’d have to weld everything on 100%.
Yeah, it looks real good on your Ford 4 sure. You outta get you some Long Straps to hook to a tree or something And, get yourself a 3 ton "Single Sheave for Regular Wire Rope Blocks" This way (in case you didn't know this) you can "DOUBLE" the pulling strength of your winch. I used to have 1 of these with my winch on a CJ5 Jeep and it saved my butt several times
I know it is overkill, but I picked up 3 Warn snatch blocks (17.6K lbs), 4 - 7/8" d rings (13K lbs), a 20' tow strap (30K lbs), 2 - 8' tree savers (30K lbs), a 20' snatch strap (35K lbs), and a receiver hitch shackle (11K lbs) and some gloves. Spent as much on all of that stuff as I did the winch. They tuck nicely behind the back seat of the truck. Nice things is if I ever sell the truck/winch, I can keep all of that stuff for the next vehicle.
Man, You are ready for ANYTHING now....😊 And, GOOD Luck
Good video. Good winch.
I usually hate the background music but like urs. U get a like
John, Curious how the hooks being in the factory position worked out for you (if you are using a snatch block back to the truck that is). Made the decision to extend mine out with some square tube but not a huge fan of how far they come out from the truck. Thanks for the video!
Love your truck and winch setup 🦾
Thank you!
@@JohnHarmonCan the winch be installed safely and securely on the grill guard?
@@mr.eervianlesmana9263 Whatever you connect it to needs to be connected directly to the frame of the vehicle. In my case the winch bumper is bolted directly to the front of the frame of the truck.
Probably going to pick one of these up soon. What have you used yours for? Have you been impressed?
Now buy yourself a can of wire rope lubricant oil and hose the wire rope down.
Next get a nice neoprene rubber cover for it to cover when not in use."I found one on Ebay made by "Mile marker" , who cares what it says. Badland does NOT offer any kind of cover for it. Done get the cheap ones , they won't even last a year.
I have this exact winch on my GMC 1500 Sierra and love it.
I have mine set up with the removable cradle and 175 amp connectors from NAPA , a front mounted receiver hitch , #2 gauge battery supply to the connectors in the front grille and also to the rear bumper.
I did add the second battery and larger alternator under the hood of the truck to help with long extended pulls and not kill the batteries.
I can move mine around front to rear and also on the car trailer with appropriate receiver tube welded on that.
I use the locking receiver tube pins so it doesn't get stolen. I can also remove it entirely if needed and store it.
The circuit breaker assembly got mounted inside of an outdoor grey plastic electrical box and blank cover from Lowes and put it near the winch so it is always with the winch.
I also added the remote controller for that winch so I can be anywhere when I run it.
Harbor Freight has a nice heavy snatch block for sale also , I got 2 of those and from other sources ; some tree saver straps , some nice lifting/winch straps for full rated loads or better , heavy duty clevises and other bits and pieces as needed.
Ive got a power hookup for a snow plow on my truck do you think thatd work for the power supply?
I got the 9000 series gonna install it soon
3...2...1...IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!
I welded mine, I figure I'd make it permanent. And the fairlead is also welded. So when they TRY take it, they won't be happy.
Does the top off of the solenoid assembly box top just pull off? I would just like to get inside to change a battery cable.
Red Loctite... It will never go anywhere again
How do I swap the red wires? Can you remove that box cover? My red wires are put into the solenoid but opposite to yours.
I've been using a badlands 12000 pound winch for 3 years now I put a locking bolt on the bottom to prevent theft and I switched it over to synthetic rope and I have never had an issue with the winch used it several times no problems at all.
How hard was it to switch to synthetic ? Which rope did you go with? I would love to do the same to mine
@@JoseOrtiz_1416 it wasn't hard at all
@@wildcatcowboy6591 did you have to get anything special or all you habe to do is remove old cable and slap in the synthetic
@@JoseOrtiz_1416 I used that hollow pull tight that sticks to the drum and you slide the end of the synthetic rope through it. I used the weight of my truck to spole it in snug
@@JoseOrtiz_1416 I got the green 85ft, but you can get it in any color or length you want
I would make sure the bull-bar is rated for the winch pull and that it has been correctly mounted on the chassis before even attempting to use the winch.
I have used it since this video. It is fine.
Do you know where the 2 black screws that come with it goes?
Love you.
I have Westin brush guard and i'm looking for a winch tray like that, but harbor freight winch trays don't have left & right ends on them like yours, to be bolted to brush guard vertical uprights. . End plates, side plates, not sure. Harbor freights trays can only be bolted at the bottom, they have no left & right side ends. I have 33 & 15/16" between brush guard main verticals. Anyone figure out what brand brush guard this is ? Maybe i can buy just the tray. What is measurement between brush guard vertical flat uprights? (Where the tray sits.)
Check that ecu after that fire work show
Great job man! Don't listen to the jealous haters who wish they had a Ford.
Did you stretch the cable yet? A few have told me when I bought mine to pull all the cable put but about 5 wraps then winch it in with at least 500lbs on it. Otherwise your cable could flatten and fray.
No, I haven't pulled it out any further than you see in the video. I think I will wait until it is warmer and dry before messing with it any more.
John Harmon - Cold Creek Works it also helps with a second person. While your running the winch from the outside making sure its wrapping straight have them continuously lightly tap the break to add tension. A slight incline helps also.
Consider swapping out the wire rope for nylon winching rope. Stronger, lighter and easier to handle.
weld two L 's on two of the bolts through a lock between them
Hi John, What year is your F150? What winch bumper do you have? I have a 2006 and am looking to get exactly what you have. Simple and WORKS.
2003 F350 6.0 liter. Not sure on the bumper. I bought the truck with 125000 miles on it and it has a no-name bumper. If I remember correctly someone in the comments identified what type it is, but I haven't confirmed it.
bro said f150
Hans Zimmer FTW
Just put a cover over it that reads harbor freight. That should deter theft. bwahaha
🤣
How do you get the control box on the top of the winch, I’m struggling rewlly hard with that
It has hooks, then a screw goes through each of the rear hook, into supplied threaded hardware, encasing the rear bar.
I laughed more than I should have at the short out on the battery, but only because of how many times I've done it. And that you can laugh at yourself about it.
I couldn't tell if you were mounting that straight to your bumper or on a mounting bracket? did you have to buy mounting bracket or what are you mounting to ?
just straight on the bumper?
This is a bracket that sits in front of the bumper and is tied into the frame of the truck (bolted on at the front). It is separate from the bumper
What’s that rack on the front of the truck that the winch sits on? I guess that would be a must before you get a winch right?
You need some way to tie it to the frame. That can be done in various ways, but this is probably the most common
Hi, great video! why there were sparks when you mounted the positive? is there anything to avoid that
I touched the wrench to the negative terminal and accidentally hit the part connected to the positive terminal. It was just an accident. Don't touch the two terminals and you will be good. I left that part in for humor.
Oh thank you so much!
Disconnect the negative terminal on the battery whilst doing any wiring and or welding on your vehicle.
Spray the cable with ACF-50 to prevent corrosion.
thx
How's the winch holding up
Is it waterproof? Like if I drove into a puddle that was too deep the winch would be fine?
The winch should be, but I bet water would get into the control box on top unless you sealed it better. If you sealed the control box I don't see why it would have any issues.
My customers 3rd gen yota was rolled into a high flowing mountain river and remained there for 5 weeks until the snow and river level was low enough to attempt a rescue. The winch was under water the entire 5 weeks and was still fired up to help with the rescue. And yes still working to this day.
What brand winch mount/grille guard is that?
Not sure. It came with the truck. I can't find any maker marks on it
What was the chrome part that you added to the Positive port of the battery?
I believe that it is a fuse that comes with the winch
sir do you have available 10 tons winch for my mini dump truck? and how much?
get someone to weld a plate around a few of the bolts so no tools can get to them
You should use a battery just for the winch.
Any one know if i can mount this on a rough country mount?
What are you asking for it? Diesel?
Can you reply to this with a link of the brush guard you have there? Thanks.
Actually, I am not sure what brand it is or where it was purchased. When I bought the truck it was already on it.
You can get them from warn
We’re did you get the winch bumper from I know your in the USA
Ebay, Amazon, harbor freight
Very cool set up. Your F350 about 9,700 lbs (GVWR)?
Yes, roughly that. I carry around a spare fuel tank with about 50 gallons of fuel, so I think I am right around 10K lbs. With the spare tank full it rides a bit smoother I have noticed.
Can i know.how much is that type of winch that you install on your car
I think they go for $400 retail, but if I remember correctly I got it for around $270..... but don't remember for sure.
My winch bumper says it will take up to a 10k winch! Do you know if the badland 12k will mount up to the same holes as a 10k lb winch??
Unsure, but I am guessing they are pretty universal. If not, having to drill some new holes isn't that bad. Just go at a slower speeds so you don't heat up your bit and destroy it.
What type of mounting bracket did you use
Just the one that came with the winch bumper
Who made the bumper? I wanna but one for a '01 F-350 Superduty?
Red lock tight
i got one of those bumpers from rhino-- 1000 bucks and was told by rhino its just lipstick, its just for appearance it cant handle a winch-- did yours last? i thought these things were used by police to push and pit manuers
Yes, the winch is fine. I haven't had an issue. I know that the bull bars won't take jack though.
I would purchase one if it only took 9 minutes to install! lol
you think it will be enough power ro pull a wrecked car with no tires onto my tilt bed trailer?
I would think so, but you might want to add a snatch block or two to double or triple the pulling power
best torque is with most of the line out (only about 4 wraps around the drum when you start to pull)
is it really 12000 pounds thougth?
Yes, otherwise it would be false advertisement and they would be sued. I am sure it is even more than 12K, as they build in a little bit of leeway. Pulling a wrecked car with no tires onto a trailer would be difficult, but it can do it, especially if you use a snatchblock or two. With one snatch block you cut the load in half. You do have a duty cycle to worry about though.... 30-45 seconds on under load, and then you have to let it cool 15 minutes; otherwise you risk burning up the motor
Just curious how you got shocked? Didn’t look like your body was grounded?
I didn't get shocked, just scared me
Shouldnt you connect a negative wire straight to your battery?
It is. If you are talking about the tiny wire toward the end, that was the ground.
I throught you grounded to the chassis. It could be the standard wiring of the car (chassis to battery) isn’t big enough to deal with these high currents.
How reliable are these winches? I mean for real outback kind of stuff?
They aren't fast, but other than that I don't know. I can't afford a Warn, and I suspect this is better than nothing
@@JohnHarmon I'm thinking of a harbor for the rear but then again, i don't want to rely on something when i need it most. Rather save up for a dominator or a warn. Sure is tempting to try a harbor one though.
@@no_handle_required after one year of heavy use i had to replace the wire end caps, and the ground wire inside the control box. but still works flawlessly. just be careful bot to burn it up with extended pulls.
How about the long black one? Where did you connect that to?
It has been some time since I installed this, so I think there were 3 cables if I remember. Positive/Negative battery terminal cables (black for negative) and the ground.
@@JohnHarmon I just found it, had iy connected wrong and the ground wire burned of and smoked.. Time to get some eyelets and ne wire lol
this is the only video i can find of someone installing this winch on a truck front. everyone else seems to be putting them on receiver mounts or trailers. i still am looking for a video of a bumper mount because i dont have any brushguard etc... in front. the universal mount from harbor freight for this winch does not show how to mount the mount lol. guess i will have to take it to a shop. nice truck by the way.
thank you
FixedByDoc . com I also purchased this winch with the universal mount. The mount is very heavy duty. I had to customize the frame alittle and the mount but I was able to install it behind the front bumper and valence. I also had to extend the farelead out a few inches with washers and a heavy sleeve and large grade 8 bolt so the rollers stuck out a little just under the bumper.
Looks like a bad case of Red Bull abuse to me! LOL!
Can someone tell me what the silver thing with 3 blocks he puts on the battery terminal is? And if it's what I think it is (circuit breaker) how to get it.
It's a fuse. I assume a car parts store would have these on hand
Awesome thank you!
What bull bar is that?
I wish I knew, but I can't find any identifying information on it (I bought the truck with it already on it)
Does it drain the battery when not being used ?
No
I wouldn't trust two 7/16' bolts to hold the weight of anything under load!
Now what about the rear installation of it? Lol
That music lol who you think you are the Gladiator?
Better than Benny Hill.... :)
Have you put it to use yet and if so do you have any videos you can show us
Not yet. There was one trip I could have used it, but we took my brother's truck instead of mine.
What about now?
@@Bluelightbandit I have this same winch that I use on my car trailer. Its a beast. I can pull heavy SUVs up the tilt on my car trailer from inside while i steer it on.
ive also used it mounted to my hitch reciever to pull a vehicle up a hill that i couldnt make it up with my truck pulling the trailer with the car on it.
You can't beat it for $300!
seems like a lot for chinese crap
Next time run the cord threw the grill,and you will have more extra wirring
What mount plate is that?
I don't know actually
@@JohnHarmon ok thanks
Provide purchase link
You're a pro and you got shocked. Can you describe what you did wrong and how to avoid it so the many non pro's viewing this can avoid getting shocked? Would removing the negative cable from the battery have solved this? Thanks!
I'm no pro. :) Just have to make sure you don't cross-connect the terminals. Covering one of them with something insulated while doing this should suffice.
@@JohnHarmon the full answer would've been the negative should've been removed at the beginning, and extenders in lieu of deep sockets never work well. Just a humble 2cents
What bumper is that?
I wish I knew, but there aren't any markings on it that I can find to identify it. It came with the truck when I bought it.
Hows the wench now? I just ordered one.
The winch is still fine. Haven't had to use it since installing it, but that is the way things go. Don't need it when you have it, need it when you don't (kind of like insurance). :)
Can i connect the winch on acc?
I don't know what you are asking, but I would just google it
that a home made bracket?
No
@@JohnHarmon mind my asing where did ya get it at?
Chickens, Turkeys, ducks, Geese. Is that foul language?
:)
Wow - dude, did you have your radio passcode?
not sure what you mean
AQUI NO BRASIL CHAMARIAMOS DEC JUMENTO KKKK
Funny went you need you dint have it now that you have it you won’t used lol just life twists lol
Yep, just like insurance. You buy it and don't need it, you pass on it and you get hosed.
its a ford so it definatly needs a winch!
lol.... true that. I wish I could afford something different, but I can't
So yep Chevy for life!
