I just finished up my relay/isolator gismo. I’ve been going to do this since there was a recall on my winch. (It may turn on all by itself I guess) , I haven’t had any problems with mine, and it’s been used quite a bit.

I used this one, also got a 12” battery cable, got them off the Amazon.....

.......
Did you use the riv-nut tool ;)

Also strongly suggest you get one of these for the battery terminal and the 300A fuse.

I had to remove the battery in order to drill a couple holes. This is the only time I liked having the auxiliary battery, because if you leave the negative cables together you don’t loose power when removing the main battery. So it was nice not having reset all my radio stations and whatnot.

Wiring it up was pretty straight forward... cable from winch on one terminal, and I got a 12” battery cable to go from the other terminal to the battery. Used my aux switch # 1 wire to one of the small terminals and a ground to the other. You can wire the small terminals either way. Now my winch cannot be turned on unless you push aux switch #1.

I’d like to give a shout out to @Rangemaster ( thanks brother) for answering a couple questions I had. He had just done this earlier..........:).

I looked at the box with my switches and wiring kit. Then I looked at the box with the remote start in it. I then shivered in the cold and went back inside. I am sure I will regret my procrastination but I had a good nap anyway.

Moab was fun but the pics would have looked better without the stock sport bumpers. Installed an Arcus front bumper with a rear bumper delete on the way. Merry Xmas to me.

Original shipment was missing the bull bar and bumper bolts. However, Rugged Ridge sent replacement parts with no hassle. Good customer service.

Trying to stay light and cheap in the meantime so I held off installing the winch tray and buying a winch. 60s wearing 40s after my DD214.

Ok John, this is what I’m thinking to do, still a work in progress but this will do for now.

More importantly, I need to haul my ass to the bath and beyond store tomorrow before mama finds one of her silicone muffin gizmos missing.........:whew:, lol.

Good idea and will steal that. But still fuse it :)

That battery shorts and it will glow as red as your wife will when she finds her muffin tray now only a 8 position and not a 12 ;)

Also installed the Grimm off-road arb twin mount. Pretty good instructions. Not too bad of an install. Make sure and buy extra fender clips. You will break some. I ordered 10 of them. Broke 6.
