Tip to all of you Warn guys! Try a Gorilla 3000# winch!! This is one tough son of a gun. I literally winched my foreman up a tree. It was a little hard trying to mount it on the bracket that came with it, but it was the first time I had ever installed a winch. I also did not care for the mounts that were on the rocker switch but I modified it a bit. But trust me, for $110 bucks, you can't beat it!

Also, can someone recommend a snorkel kit website for my 2004 Foreman 450 ES?

Just a word of caution with that Gorilla...SEAL up the contactor with a good RTV silicone, I didn't and now the contactor is toast!!

As far as the snork goes, you can build your own for cheap as described in this thread http://www.hondaforeman.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=187

Or you can order one from http://www.triangleatv.com[/url]

What is the best thing to use to seal up the contactor? Silicone or do you recommend something else?
