What do i need to know to install a winch?

[98G]

I've got a garden variety 2dr soft top M998.

I've also got the pictured mile marker hydraulic winch and mounting plate.

Presumably I need a couple of hydraulic hoses. What else?

Are there instructions somewhere in the TM for how to install?

Is that all you have??? I have the "near" complete kit and although I have not looked at the thing in a while I'm pretty sure there are a couple of brackets, a hand full of grade 8 bolts, the plug that is mounted in the dash with the wiring to the solenoid valves on the winch and a controler that are needed for sure along with the two hoses. The dash plug shows up occasionally with the regular suppliers but expect a hit in the pocket book. The pieces are in the TM's.

Attached is the Mile Marker Instructions I received from them which will help. You should be able to find parts on ebay or order from Mile Marker.

All the mentioned parts plus yellow controller (usually on ebay) or black ( warn for electric) if you reverse the wiring, 2 longer lower control arm bolts, wiring harness.

Mile marker did sell me the parts I was missing directly.

I can't recall size off hand but look on my thread for a suggestion on a mm crowfoot and short stubby wrench for the nut on one of the hoses is real tight fit.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate this!!!

This is exactly what I was looking for.

FYI... don't know about the situation presently but Mile Marker used to be pretty uppity about any part with a government part number . Some have had good luck others not so much. My 2 cents.

You’re Welcome!
We probably need a moderator to add it to the TM section
