Installing OPENROAD 13,000lbs Budget Winch on my Jeep WJ Grand Cherokee

We finally have a winch mounted on my Jeep WJ Sort of. This winch is from OPENROAD and it is the Panther Series S2 model which is a 13,000LBS winch IP-67 Waterproof which is definitely needed for offroading.

Recovery Gear when offroading is crucial because you will get stuck at some point or have a friend get stuck and you need to pull them out. I do have a Kinetic rope which is amazing for pulling but having a winch is also great because you can self recover or use the Jeep as an anchor and have the winch do the work.

We will be installing some quick disconnect cables as this which is mounted on a hitch mounting plate and I won't always have the winch mounted on the Jeep. That will come in a later video. The quality of the which so far is nice but we will know how great it is once we connect it and actually put it through some use!

The winch is rated for 13,000LBS while the Hitch mount is rated for 15,000LBS and from the reviews I've seen on this winch you cannot go wrong for the price!

Pick the winch up Here and use code "najarwinch" for $100 off winches. https://openroad4wd.com/products/openroad-13000lbs-winch-2s

    Thank you for the video. I used sand cloth on the opening it felt sharp.
