I finally got around to buying and installing a winch on my foreman. I did some research on here and other sites but could not find anyone using the superatv.com brand. The price was unbeatable given the quality of everything that came in the box and the capability of the winch were my deciding factors. I had a warn on my rancher and was more than pleased but it was expensive. After a few rebates I ended up paying around $190 shipped, + mounting plate $35, plus a few other items to make the install +$30. Ease of installation was fairly easy except for a couple things.
1) the screws that mount the winch to the plate were almost a half inch too long, had to cut them down to fit properly 2)Battery wires were 6 inches too short for me to mount the control box in my rear cargo box, had to buy longer wires to complete 3) They don't use a wire for you to splice into a switched power source like the acc plug or inginiton switch - I called them about this and they claimed there was a on-off switch on my control box and this is how you keep it off or on, mine did not have the switch on it. To cut power to my winch I installed a battery control switch and hid it in the rear cargo box with the controller. I just have to put the control switch key in whenever I want to supply power to the winch or pull it out when I want it off. For a 3500lb synthetic cable winch with a wireless remote its a great deal, few install problems but I ironed them out and I'm happy with it. No pictures right now, I'll try to get some updated ones up since I've done some painting on the foreman as well. On a side note, I tried to do the 3rd headlight switch install on my HID kit and had no success. I could not get to the main wire harness so I tryed to splice the actual HID wires and this is a bad idea. It sends way to much voltage through the switch and makes it smoke .
