Ramsey Winch Install on Suzuki King Quad ATV, for Off-Road.com: Off-Road.com

Home - ATV & UTV - ATV & UTV Projects - Ramsey Winch Install on Suzuki King Quad ATV, for Off-Road.com

Who really needs a 3000# winch on their ATV? Most winch manufacturers recommend a pulling capacity at least 1.5 times gross vehicle weight so using the 5 to 1 factor this winch provides I would need a 40,000# winch on my crew cab pickup, that's cool. Seriously to fully use the winch you need to anchor your ATV to something solid, but this abundance of power should make even the most difficult extractions a piece of cake. I choose the Ramsey winch because of my good experiences using their full size winches on a couple of outings with friends who needed that 40,000# winch I mentioned earlier. The remote control is a handy feature in that in extremely awkward or off camber winching activities you only need to be within range of the transmitter, about 25 feet when I was testing after the install. This will put you safely out of the way when the unexpected happens. So follow along as I begin the installation. Believe it or not it really does help to read the instructions before you start. I did, but, the most helpful part was the wiring diagram which picked up where the instructions left off. Here we go…..

I started the installation by laying out all of the pieces. This allows you to ensure you've got everything and get a feel for how it all goes together. You will need a selection of hand tools and drill bits to complete the installation. The only item I used that isn't shown here is automotive Goop. I'll explain that later.

 

Suzuki thought ahead and provided winch mount points for the base plate. My only complaint is that they are of light guage material and welded to thin wall frame tubes. I don't believe these attachment points would hold up to heavy pulls over time. The winch mount itself is of sturdier stuff. Formed of 3/16” plate and powder coated black, it should hold up to years of use/abuse. The winch itself comes with a roller fairlead, which is a nice touch when most only come with a hawse type. Ramsey also makes available an aluminum hawse fairlead for use with synthetic line, which has the advantage of not recoiling and separating you from your appendages if it should happen to break.

 

As you can see I've got the winch mount and fairlead installed in the frame using the supplied hardware. We purchased an aftermarket mount from eWinch.com intended for use with this model winch and it is a precise fit. I tried to limit the number of body panels removed, but I ended up removing everything that wasn't yellow by the time I got done, so I would recommend starting out by doing just that. The best place I could find to install the solenoid was right here behind the front bumper fascia. It's in the airflow but not exposed and with the tightly packed drive train, was the only place I could find to make it fit and still have the leads all reach where they need to go.

 

Suzuki provides this handy piece of flexible conduit to run the power leads for the solenoid through. At least that's what I used it for. It worked great and keeps them out of harms way. The plastic conduit terminates where the red and black leads run up in front of the battery tray. Quick, Simple and Easy.

 

In addition to the remote control for your key ring, Ramsey included a 2-position toggle switch for those times when your remotes batteries go dead. Usually when needed most! The toggle switch is installed on the left side of the headlight pod, between it and the gear selector lever. This location was the best combination of accessibility and protection from branches and front rack loads. Shown here is the receiver. With the tightly packed drive train under the left side engine cover provided the best access and protection. I formed up the grey mount out of some 14 gage steel and sandwiched it between the frame and a torque mount that limits the engines twist. It's a tight fit the side cover just clears the receiver by a quarter inch of so.

 

The antenna is mounted up under the front plastic just behind a black plastic grill. This was very difficult for me to get my fat fingers into and I thought very well protected. The antenna mounts using double backed sticky tape. The antenna mount is the only part of the kit I found to be cheap. The directions tell you to wipe the proposed area for antenna installation down with rubbing alcohol then stick the three part antenna into place. I did just as instructed. The antenna stayed in place for about 5 miles then fell off. I reattached it with Automotive Goop and a zip tie through the small grill and we had no more problems. Notice the minimal winch-to-radiator clearance. This picture was taken with the winch and the mount pulled firmly forward before they were tightened down. It's only about a 1/16 ” To me that's too tight but the winch never contacted the radiator so its no real problem so far.

 

Here you see the front fascia reinstalled and the final routing of the wiring. (“Fascia” - never thought I'd use that term while talking about a rough and tough ATV.) My only shot of the winch in action while spooling the line tightly on the winch drum to complete the installation. I really did try to get stuck, but the Suzuki was doing its best to churn its way through the stickiest mud and steepest climbs I could find.

One final thought - pick up a few of Suzuki's plastic rivets before you even start. I managed to ruin two while removing the plastic. Good luck with your own winch installation, and better luck with getting stuck enough to test it! We have since used this winch to pull large trees out of the trail, though it was nearly dark and the camera wasn't easily at hand, so you'll have to take our word for it.

How to choose a car winch? Big choice. Club 4x4

What the winch will be used on

When choosing an electric winch, the formula often used is that the weight of the vehicle multiplied by 2 equals the pulling force of the winch. But there are exceptions, this rule applies to use in difficult conditions on SUVs, for light crossovers, or vice versa on massive pickups, such a large supply of tractive effort will be redundant, plus there is always the possibility of using chain hoist reinforcement blocks that increase traction. For ATVs, one should not forget about the weight of the driver and very difficult operating conditions, here the value of tractive effort can be exceeded by more than 2 times. Below are examples on popular vehicles. nine0003

Car winches for Jeep Wrangler and other medium-weight SUVs

-12,000 lbs), depending on how heavily the vehicle is retrofitted with power bumpers and sills, protection, lights on the expedition trunk, big wheels and everything else that adds weight to the prepared SUV. Available winches include T-MAX MuscleLift, Runva Magnum, RockWinch Rs9500, from the middle price segment COMEUP DV-12 light, from the premium ones, Warn Zeon Platinum 10-S will become a real decoration of your car.

Car winches for light pickups Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi L-200, etc.

Light pickups like the Toyota Hilux or Mitsubishi L-200 use 4-5.5 tonne (9000-12500 lb) towing capacity vehicle winches, depending on how you use your pickup and what it is intended for. . A 4 tonne winch will suffice for a standard empty body, but a seriously prepared camper for off-road adventures will need a large stock of a 5.5 ton winch. Of the available winches, you should pay attention to T-MAX, 4Revo, RockWinch. Middle price category ComeUp. And winches with maximum reliability from the USA from Warn. nine0003

Electric winches for Lada Niva and Suzuki Jimny

Niva and Dzhimnik are considered light jeeps, which gives them great opportunities to overcome off-road. If the car is more often used on asphalt, and moves out only to overcome difficult off-road routes, then a reliable Warn Axon 50 car winch with a pulling force of 2.2 tons or a T-Max EW-6500 for 3 tons will suffice. But if the vehicle is being used in more extreme situations, such as touring or recreational racing, electric winches with 3. 6 tons (8000 lbs) of pulling power, such as the Comeup GIO 80S or WARN VR EVO 8-S, are worth considering. Recommended for use with synthetic rope, light car - light winch. nine0003

Electric winches for large pickup trucks Toyota Tundra, Dodge Ram etc.

Large off-road vehicles and pickup trucks, which can be up to 6 meters long and weigh about 3 tons without load, owners of such monsters are recommended to consider car electric winches with a pulling force of 5.6 tons (12,500 pounds) to 7.5 tons (16,500 pounds), again, depending on the specific vehicle and how far you are willing to go into the forest, it will not be superfluous to lay down the power reserve of your future winch. Many electric winches with such significant tractive effort may be positioned by manufacturers as a tow truck (industrial) winch, but this does not mean that it will not work for your large pickup truck. Depending on the chosen budget, it is worth considering buying such models as: T-Max HEW-12500, RockWinch Rh25000, ComeUp Seal Gen2 16. 5, Warn M15000, Warn 16.5Ti 12V

Electric winch for Renault Duster and other crossovers.

Due to the peculiarities of the use and layout of the front of the car, it is not always cost-effective to permanently install an electric winch in crossovers; with a force of 1.1 tons (2500 pounds), with such winches in difficult situations, you can use the chain hoist reinforcement block to double the traction force. For example, car winches: Avtospas LPE14P, T-Max ATW PRO 2500. Or heavier, but with a margin of power, winches with a pulling force of up to 2.7 tons (6000 pounds), for example: Superwinch Winch3Go, COMEUP DV-6s Carry On. nine0003

Winches for expedition off-road vehicle such as Land Cruiser 100\200.

For off-road vehicles prepared for expeditions, the most important factor is the reliability of an electric car winch and its power reserve for a car loaded with shmurdyak, so as not to be left without movement somewhere far from civilization. For such purposes, advanced winches from the middle price category and above are well suited, with a pulling force of about 5. 5 tons (12,000 pounds), the following stationary electric winches can be distinguished: T-Max HEW-12500, RUNVA 12500 waterproof, COMEUP Seal Gen2 12.5, Warn Vr Evo 12, Warn Zeon 12.

Competition Winches

If you are racing, every second is at stake, to be first you will need the fastest and most trouble-free winch with light weight and strong synthetic cable, and since your machine is light for competitions, then a large traction effort may not be that important. We can highlight winches such as the COMEUP Seal MadX 8.0 and the choice of professionals around the world in the face of the vertical Warn M8274.

Winches for ATVs and buggies UTV

When choosing a winch for an ATV or buggy, you need to consider the weight of the vehicle, taking into account the driver and luggage, as well as the operating conditions, how deep you plan to dive into the mud. Often the manufacturer himself provides information on the recommended type of winch, do not forget about the size of the winch, for example, Warn Axon is not suitable for every all-terrain vehicle due to its increased dimensions. Lightweight RWD and 400cc 4WD ATVs are often fitted with a 2000 to 2500 lb winch, such as the T-Max ATW-PRO 2500, ComeUP Cub 2S, Superwinch Terra 25 SR, WARN UTV VRX 25-S. Larger 4x4 ATVs with an engine capacity of more than 500 cubic meters are equipped with electric winches with a pulling force of 3000-3500 pounds, such as Avtospas LPE15M-S, Runva 3500A, Superwinch LT3000, WARN VRX 35-S. For buggies like the Polaris RZR, a 3500-4500 lb towing winch like the Superwinch Terra 35 SR or WARN AXON ATV 45-S will do. Synthetic rope is more comfortable and safer to work with. nine0003

How to install a winch on an SUV and ATV

The easiest way to install a winch on an SUV is a special place on the iron power bumper, but if you do not want to overload your car with additional iron and have problems with inspectors on the road, then the winch can be installed discreetly in a regular bumper, for this, in our online store, platforms for hidden installation of a winch are available for sale. If the use of a winch takes place only a couple of times a year, you are not in a hurry, and the car is not up to the roof in the mud, then a portable electric winch would be a good choice, the main thing is not to forget to put it in the trunk, also small portable winches can be used on snowmobiles and quad bikes. Fixed installation of the winch on an ATV is carried out using a universal or specialized mounting platform for your ATV model, depending on availability and availability. nine0003

Winches maintainability

When choosing an electric winch, you also need to take into account the fact that sooner or later it can fail, so you should choose popular brands that have spare parts and repair kits, in our off-road accessories online store you can purchase: solenoid blocks, brakes, gears, electric motors and other spare parts for winches. To prolong the life of the winch, it is required to carry out maintenance with disassembly, cleaning and lubrication of components, preferably at least once every 12 months. nine0003
