Which 500 amp relay did you use? I've got some flexible 2/0 wire ready to go once the bumper selection is figured out. Hate having to make a run to the back seat, but it is what it is. Just hoping my gamble getting the Badland Apex 1200 synth line I got on black Friday works out once Victory 4x4 releases their bumper.

It’s a Recoil brand battery isolator relay. Many options on Amzon

As soon as Bumper and winch gets to installer and I’m able to go over and have them do the work.. I will take notes and video and stills of installation..

I went with the DV8 offroad bumper. Fits well and was still able to use the factory skid plates on my Trailhunter. I used the Openroad Panther 3s 12k winch. The only thing I had to relocate was circled in blue.

Are you able to reach the free spool?

Yes. it's tight but the square openings on the side of the fairlead. I was able to rotate the handle forward to make it a little easier. Now, connecting the hard wire controller might be another story. I have 2 wireless controllers and I think I'll keep a couple of spare batteries handy to make sure they don't go dead.
