    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Put in a few hours on some recycling chores. Had scrapped a number of bicycles over the years and saved various components in case I wanted to restore a bike some day. Today I took the overflowing tote and started sorting thru the contents selecting items I no longer want to save and then...

    Using a battery jump pack to power an ATV Powersport winch

    I have a Superwinch T1500 that I bought 23 years ago and installed in a car trailer. It, also, has a heavy duty switch that works without a solenoid/relay. I powered it off 2 battery jumper cables spliced together that I ran up to the vehicle battery. I just finished installing this on my SXS...

    Shower in shop.

    When I built my shop in 1991, I walled off an office area with a water heater closet and a bathroom off the office. I have never used the shower or installed a water heater. l installed the shower as a safety measure in case I ever got into chemicals that needed to be flushed immediately. The...

    My delayed order came in! Because of the way my hook is attached, I had to temporarily remove one of the fairlead rollers in order to get the hook through the fairlead. Other than that, the fairlead and bracket bolted up perfect. I lucked out on fairlead selection and think this will work...

    Today, I expected to be posting the final pictures of my winch project. :( But, that was not to be. This is the shoulder bolt that was stripped (on original installation) and gave me fits removing. Went to the local honda dealer and they ordered me a replacement for about $4.50 and a week...

    When I had the winch installed in the car trailer, I had spliced together 2 cheap jumper cables to provide the power leads that I could run out the door of the trailer and up to the battery of the tow vehicle. Might as well use this for the power leads from the battery of the SXS to the relay...

    Lucky you! Unfortunately, I found online instructions that say just the opposite of that. That tells me which control terminals on the relay to connect to but it does not identify which terminal on the relay is to have the yellow winch lead and which is to have the blue winch lead. And, I can't...

    For anyone interested, this is the wiring diagram I came up with for my installation based on various internet sources and a little think time. The yellow and white leads off the receiver are sometimes marked win out and win in respectively, and sometimes the reverse of that. The yellow and blue...

    If your wired remote has the same 4 leads that the wireless receiver has and you have a spare plug to fit the jack that you can attach the wireless receiver to, that might make a very elegant solution for you. The wireless receiver could be attached to the dash with some velcro for easy removal...

    Oh, duh - thanks! I have always used the insert image and forgot about the attach files option. So here is a copy of the "instructions" I received.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Some of my research has included YT as well as various vendors offerings of the same product. I am just getting ready to sit down with a blank sheet of paper and sketch out the connections based on my research. I have to wait till Thursday for my switch and fairlead...

    There were instructions only for the wireless receiver but they did not include info on how to connect to the relay. The remotes have an on/off switch on them, but since the remote will reside in a rollbar mounted storage bag, I do not want to rely on the on/off switch on the remote to prevent...
