Having done a lot of this myself, I wouldn't say trivial. Easier than loads, yes, trivial, nope. Yes, well said, for many disciplines, perhaps even most!

Zero intent. I remain immensely impressed with your entire plethora of complimentary skills and the outcomes. Seriously. Good or even great engineering is often described by making the best compromise possible with an enormous amount of missing information. Unfortunately, sometimes, the missing...

Having done a fair amount of both, I would say this is much more of a volume and cost tradeoff vs. which makes a better part. Sorry, getting OT... 🤣

There is always a flip side... My larger concern is the overall lack of solid engineering in Off-Roading. So much "backyard", "arm chair" and "spit balling". Fortunately, we can realize that both of these somewhat contradictory scenarios fully coexist!

Yes, for stud terminals that support ring terminals. Those mentioned above (post #27), which I am referring to, absolutely do not support ring terminals. These are the ones...

Don't repeat or add to any mistakes Ford made. If your not an expert in this area, I'm happy to share my SAPS Instructions, whether you buy one or not. It has, more or less, a crash course in choosing tools and materials to do a very high quality wiring job.

I am generally skeptical of screws to pinch wires to secure them for a reliable electrical connection. These can and likely will loosen in a vibration and thermally cycling environment. The raw leads on the "bad" or perhaps merely inconvenient design Ard superior with a proper crimp and crimp...

Good points largely agree. That said you still didn't answer the question... Do you think the winch manufacturer chose wisely? ABYC ampacity charts (at least the ones I'm referring to) are length independent as they are not concerned with voltage drop (not typically a safety issue) but rather...

At the speed of a winch I would call a 50' or 100' continuous for practical purposes. No it certainly is not literally continuous. 😆

So do you think you winch manufacturer chose wisely (or even safely)? The ABYC table for in engine compartment cable with a very good jacket (rated to 257 deg F), rates a 000 AWG at just under 375 A (365). Sure, this is continuous usage, but I would call the duty cycle of a winch continuous.

Back at ya! Sincerely appreciate the sentiment and consideration!

That's a very clean and nicely designed setup. However, your main battery cable doesn't look any where near sufficient for 300 amps, let alone 400.

Thanks for your input. Truly appreciated. I've not got enough of this kind of input yet. It's IP66: dust tight and high pressure water jet proof. Not officially submersion proof, but due to its o-ring seal, I'm sure it would handle temporary/shallow immersion just fine. Not sure about the rest...

Hi All, Have a look at the Engineered Off-Road Systems SAPS (Safe Accessory Power System). It's a perfect fit (literally and figuratively) for those who want organized, clean, safe, water proof, fused power in their 6G. It tucks outboard of the existing fuse box, leaving that still accessible...

Excellent guide! Should probably be slightly improved and made a sticky! @Moderator !! A few very minor suggestions: 11-14 ish works great on fast/deeper sand without bead locks, even going fast and cornering aggressively. "Super low" doesn't necessarily need special tires. You might also call...
