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.

Awesome! I like this bumper. There is a 10% off code now. It looks really good on your truck! I think I'm going to pull the trigger now. How did you run the power cables? Did you get extended positive and negative that run all the way back to the battery? Or did you use some other type of system that brings the power up to the engine bay?
