3k trailer tongue winch install

admin

Last week, I rewired this car carrier trailer's tongue with a seven-way connector and break-away switch to replace the four-pin-flat.http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...r/P8110002.jpg This week, the customer wishes to have a winch added with a wet-cell battery for power. So, first we hatched an idea for a mouting plate, which came in the form of a left over fifth wheel component. I added a gussett underneath for strength.http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...r/P8110003.jpgJust a couple end cap plates will finish the base plate.http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...r/P8110004.jpgOK next, some connecting angle for a frame to hold a battery is called for. They are just visible on the opposite side from my foot.http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...r/P8120006.jpgFollowed by the first cross member.http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...r/P8120007.jpgAnd next post...City of L.A.

Reply:Where'd you hide the 1st battery for the break away, underneath??  "Course you don't need two batts now tho.

Reply:Sandy, we knew it would be coming back after the customer picked up the winch. Only the deep cycle battery was used. I tried the movie mode in the camera today. Here is a double test, the winch and the camera![ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VeDHwMQ9tU[/ame]City of L.A.
