Thanks in advance for you time.

I installed a axon55s on my pioneer, but installed it on a Tough Country bumper. Was super easy to install. I did make my own cables out of 4 gauge instead of the 6 they came with. It took me way longer to mount my full size battery under the driver seat then installing the winch. 36e9fc9541e19d96460630284166c397

A little grinding on the bash plate. It's kinda confusing because the winch is mounted upside down. Other than that its easy. The pull is from the "top", which is actually the bottom of the winch. I have pictures on my phone. PM me and I'll give you my number incase you have any questions.

I wanted a 2nd battery so I wouldn't drain the main battery to the point to cause clutch problems. From reading lots of post if the main battery is low the Pioneer I will not perform properly.

I went full size because the cost was not much different than a good power sport battery, but gave me a lot more capacity. That way if we stop on the trials I can leave lights and radio playing and not worry about a dead battery. (Note I had this happen on my Teryx with a single battery)

I upgrades the cables to reduce the heat and loss when the winch is pulling a lot of Amps. There web site says 254 Amps max for the 55S I installed. Which if you look up sizing that would require a ~2/0. So if figured the biggest I could fit the better. My teryx had the wiring that came with the unit ran alot further and I never had a problem. I just had the bigger cable left from another project and figured it would help.

I used the 2 gauge to ran the leads from the full size. Battery up under the hood again for capacity and run length. You get much bigger and the cost and difficulty to run it goes way up.

The picture is under my hood. I am still working on wiring but it gives you an idea of what I am doing. In the top left bolted to the cross bars you will see where the battery terminals come in and connect with the winch and the rest of my accessory wiring.0b134391a2e34cf98429ddcbc35ac8c06b5560e3344e42989e91ac13d68aeed2

Hello, very interesting installation. How does the second battery, under the seat, get charged with your installation? Could you sketch of the wiring? Thanks

i purchased a Alumn Machined Battery mount of ebay and then used a thin sheet of metal and metal brkts to bolt it in.

For the wiring I used a Ture Isolator. i purchased some battery studs of Amazon and ran my wiring to that. Sorry the wiring picture is kind of a mess. When i get a chance i will put a rough diagram on paper. 3e1d19b90f135f24957b70190478e09c3d5d5c024b2468de52f135d22ae3e085Ae98d69e7142bfb7f474f48f7a24fe4758cf55efed3add33bf1cf41628921c67D79be479e991c21f9deaf9cdcdc43c89

Thanks for the pictures. If you can post a diagram I would like to see it.

Thanks for the pictures. How do the second battery get charged? Is it because of the isolator? I’d like to see a sketch if possible to understand where in the circuit the breaker was positioned and how you chose what ampersand you did. Thanks

Hopefully this sketch is clear. The 2nd Battery charges thru the Isolator. once the stock battery is charged, but it keeps the accessories from pulling power from the stock battery. If you have any other questions let me know .2db63b7051aa795450009eb2694b0c79

No problem. If you have any other questions let me know. I spent way to much on wiring.

I mounted mine without cutting any part of the frame. Mounting the winch was a breeze compared to the mounting the switch in the dash. That was tedious.

Can you post a picture of the side view where you didn’t have to cut anything please?
