@CumminsPusher Like I told all my riding buddies if "the guy up north" did it, it's the best way to go and works really well. On my 700 I had a champion winch I picked up at costco. It worked well for what I need, mostly snow plowing, but when I went with my 1000 I looked at your recommendation and it was about identical in price but you get the Warn. Like I said I had a spare contactor sitting around when warn had a recall on their atv winch contactors a few years ago. I added a synthetic rope from amazon and bought a set of 4ga jumper cables to run it. I know I have less then $300 in it, not counting the winch plate. My biggest problem was the winch hook. I bought what I thought was a Warn hook off amazon, but all I got was the red strap that said "Warn" on it. Make sure you read the whole listing. I next decided to buy a aftermarket hook from amazon in red to match my setup. When I got it, I believe it is the same hook they would use on a 50 ton crane to lift things. It was HEAVY duty but way to goddy to put on the rig. Finally found the right Warn hook, but still haven't put it on yet. It really is a good setup and reasonably priced. Thanks for taking care of us.
