andersons need to stay in the cab really in the dry, well most of the time :roll:

I disagree, if they have a good coating of vaseline internally :wink: and you use sealing caps they are not that bad at all.

but get a decent battery isolator as you dont want the winch to be powered up constantly

I know someone with some isolator switches for sale :wink:

i dissagree :twisted: id rather keep as little connections as poss between batteries and my winches :lol:

I do know what you are saying but the winch will be cencted most of the time so the anderson 'pins' wont be open to the elements thus reducing the corrosion able to take place.
Leigh:
To be honest I haven't decided on what winch yet. Too much choice and to many opinions. The warn 9.5xp is a favourite at the moment. Thanks Dave, it wont be until I've recovered from the christmas expense but would be great to pop round and take a look.
So what are the benefits of an anderson connector? An isolator switch sound like good sense.
Thanks
Muddy:
well i have car seats in my 90 which makes acsee impossible due to 8 m6 bolts but i will be installing an anderson connecter to the battery box to take my jump leads just like this setup X-jump only cheaper if you build it yourself, but we also have a 130 and trying to jump anything off that is a total PITA because of its length when you cant get side to side with the motor your trying to jump, so if you install an anderson connecter to your winch cables say just inside the engine bay or on your bumper then using a set of anderson equiped jump leads you will have far more reach with them and not have to take the passenger set out to jump start anything else and not be shi**ing yourself about arcing you leads out on the seatbox(well maybe thats just me but i'm a big sissy when it comes to batterys :oops: ) well thats my idea anyway.

Yep agree with you Muddy, got andersons front and rear of my 130 for jump leads makes it a whole lot easier a coat of vaseline at every vehicle service and the proper dust covers they last forever, well mine have been going 10 years
