u might check out this website, it has a write up on how to install winches
<a href="http://www.mudbog.net/forum/a2.php" target="_blank">http://www.mudbog.net/forum/a2.php</a>
he uses a viper winch for the install in the how to, but i think viper, gorilla, xtreme are all made by same ppl with different decal on each
this guy knows his stuff about wiring so just about anyone can manage to do the install themselves...i am going to end up doing my own install, after reading that how to i now know alot more of what is better to do instead of running it straight off the battery and whatnot, alot more work to do from his write up but i think you either do it better the first time and have way fewer problems or you half a$$ it and have a contactor or whatever else go out on you while your out on the trail and really need the winch to get out and its not there
so you might read that write up and see if you think you can manage the install by yourself...i have wired up a few full out stereo systems in cars and trucks so i know alot about what im doing but this guys write up was getting me confused even
