I have managed to install the winch without assistance since it ain't that heavy to carry. They say the bull-bar needs to be removed to install the winch, but that would require additional assistance and lots of time. Managed to slip the winch in-place and securing it one bolt at a time until all 4 bolts held the winch into place. Then removed the 2 lower bolts to install the spacer and fair-lead than install the 2 bolts. Align the winch to be level then tighten.
Great quality winch. Great fit in the ARB Summit bar. Outstanding support from 4x4 Down Under. Happy customer.

The winch is good but had to upgrade the wiring that came with it. The winch hit a peak of 125 amps pulling my 5 mtr side console onto the trailer.
It seemed to do it easy, but the standard wiring was way too hot afterward for my liking.
I use my boat a lot so I wanted to make sure the winch could pull all the power it wants with no issues.
Batteries supplying the winch are 2 x 200-amp hour lithium’s (LifePo4) wired in parallel that give a combined continuous peak amp output of up to 205 amps for 5 mins.
Upgraded all the wiring to 0 AWG ultra-high current marine power cable capable of handling 200amps and changed over to 175 amp rated Anderson plugs.
Housed the solenoid and rocker switch in a waterproof switch box with cable glands for cabling and mounted it to the trailer.
It wasn’t cheap at around $600 for the upgraded cabling, terminal lugs, heat shrink and waterproof housing, but it was well and truly worth it.
Went away fishing and put the boat on and off the trailer everyday for 8 days. At one particularly steep ramp with wind and current playing havoc the winch didn’t miss a beat.
