Can you do a video on krx whip light installation?

[@Rob-sr9rj]

Goof stuff thanks

[@dougw9224]

Hi, are you still happy with this install / winch?

[@scottjones8592]

just bought the same set up after watching your video. Did you have any clearance issues while bolting the winch to the kfi winch bracket? My winch keeps hitting the frame down tube before it is completely tight to the winch bracket. Did you have to use a spacer of any type? Thanks for the info and I love your videos.

[@SuperTrackhoe1]

Great vid. Great explanation.

[@mariomejia9993]

you really explained this thing plain and simple, thanks

[@renaldojones5227]

Great video! Followed your instructions and got same winch installed!

[@douganderson4410]

Awesome video thanks for Making it super easy I’ve done the same thing! Thanks

[@al4542]

Excellent instructions! Thank you

[@scottmccown1558]

I’ve watched this video a few times and I really like how you’ve mounted the solenoid. Initially, I mounted the solenoid on the side of the glove box so I made longer cables to reach the winch. Now, I’m installing a auxbeam where the solenoid was and mounting the solenoid the way you did it. Thanks for the ideas and the thorough explanation you provide on your vids👍.

[@RichardGoans]

Thanks for this, just picked up the winch and will use this video to install it.

🏆🏆🏆👍🙏
Watch that duty cycle closely.
Thank you for sharing

[@DirtNDiesel]

Thank you, I will

[@peadookie]

Why do you say to watch the duty cycle? Motor or battery?

[@DirtNDiesel]

@@peadookie Winches have a 'duty cycle' on how long you can runt the winch motor and then the needed break so that you don't burn out the winch. Every winch is different so you need to look at the OEM paper work that comes with the winch.

[@peadookie]

@@DirtNDiesel yep, familiar with duty cycles, but wasn't sure if OP's suggestion was because the HF winches have a low duty cycle or because the stator and battery just can't handle very much.

[@cantseeme76]

Do you have any updates on the winch now that it’s been on there for a bit… I know you spend some time in the dunes and that’s the kind of riding I do here in AZ as well I was just wondering at full droop are you hitting anything at all on that winch. The blue wire mount looks awful close to the upper arm and the actual winch barrel itself does too.

[@tahawknv4]

Definitely going to look at harbor freight!

[@sferg9582]

Nice! See you tomorrow.

[@DirtNDiesel]

Can't wait!

[@mverzosa37862]

Great video. You mentioned you can download a 20% off coupon for Harbor Freight, I cannot find anything. Are you able to direct me to where to find this discount? Really want to go this route.

[@walterbrown4278]

What did you do about A arm hitting the gear box on winch

[@Tonnsfabrication]

If you're going to add other accesories do it why you have the dash torn apart. Every additional item you cram into that car is just one more obstacle to hurdle when you find more bling later. I have the trail edition krx so I actually bought this HF 5000 to install on the rear end.

[@robertkristinsson]

Nice..

[@DirtNDiesel]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ryanlewis6095]

Great video

[@Matt07924]

Does the KRX have any room for a second battery? Would it be better to run the winch off of a secondary battery as to not impact the primary battery?

[@gikasbigelow4602]

That 5000 will not work

[@michaelybarra8674]

Yes it will many run it on krx

[@RobBevacqua]

👍
