Winch Upgrade Day! Removing My Old Smittybilt for a RUGCEL 13K

#fjcruiser #rugcel #offroad In this video I remove my old Smittybilt winch and install a brand new RUGCEL 13,000lb winch on the FJ Cruiser! I walk through the complete install process including mounting, wiring, and getting everything hooked up and ready for the trail. After the install is finished, I head down to the creek to properly stretch the synthetic line and spool it under load so it's set up correctly before its first real recovery situation. Properly loading and tensioning a new synthetic line is an important step, so I wanted to make sure it was trail-ready from day one. This video is sponsored by RUGCEL, and they sent out this winch for me to install, test, and use on the FJ. I wanted to give a full look at the process from removing the old setup all the way through getting the new winch ready for action.
