'06 Foreman w\Champion 3000 winch

[Big Bird 93]

No pics of it mounted up yet. I have been looking around for a winch for a while keeping quality and budget in mind. I did find a Superwinch UT3000 cheap (new) in my area but the reviews sucked and it did not have a handlebar rocker switch.. I found a Champion 13050 (3000lb) winch kit for $119.00 Canadian. I read the reviews and they were mostly positive. I know it is not a big name like Superwinch or Warn but they have made themselves a good name. I got a cheap generator local (not running for $50.00. clean carb and no issues. runs great)

 

Got the winch home and ordered up a KFI 100485 mounting plate ($64.00) and a cable stop (12.00). I have to wait a couple days for that to come in. I have dielectric grease for all the connections. It is cold here and plan on doing the install when it warms up and my health is better..🙂

Corrected price on winch kit.

There's tons of room on that model so mounting the winch is pretty easy. Routing the wires through everything isn't bad either if you tank the tank cover loose or off..

I installed a Champion 2200 lb on my Rancher,happy with it.I also have a Champion 3500/4000 generator that's been good.Nothing wrong with Champion they make good stuff at affordable prices.

I just edited the price. I had $140.00 but it was $119.00 (about $90.00 American) So it was a good deal with rocker switch ETC.

 

Yup looks like lots of room to do the install. I have done a bunch of electrical work in the past so this should be pretty easy. While I am in by the battery I will put in a pigtail off the battery to hook up a battery charger on it when not in use. It is a brand new battery but will be stored in a unheated garage and it can get cold here.

 

I am sure it will work out well. Heck the mount was $$$. LOL
