Avoid the scammer company
Avoid the scammer company. Hooked their winch up and it instantly ran away had to cut the wire before it damaged the bumper. To save money they're using substandard relays that stuck on and will require significant modification to make it a reliable winch this is not something that I'm going to end up keeping on my vehicle I'm going to end up throwing it away and going with the Harbor Freight unit which has Superior control relays and a cut-off switch that's included. Customer service takes forever to respond and it took them 6 weeks to mail me the winch from the point the purchase
