Installed winch electrical wires149 viewsWires which only power the solenoid are inside spiral wrap. They are also connected inside the wrap at the high point of the loop. Cable tied into place to prevent vibration rubbing. 07 Jul 2012

View of both hose connections to power steering system153 viewsBoth connections are shown. My friendly Qantas hydraulic hose expert cut off the elbow and modified it so I can re-install it to the PS rack before warranty work (and certainly before the vehicle is lifted off the body!!). 07 Jul 2012

Detail of hydraulic hoses attached to power steering hoses155 viewsHoses are attached to the upstream side of power steering rack. When winch not running, PS rack sees full pressure (ie, no change from design). Biggest challenge is running stiff hoses so that they align with attach points. I got Qantas employee who repairs hydraulic baggage loaders to braise in fittings (very tight spaces and tough access).07 Jul 2012

Installed winch with electrical solenoid connections163 viewsI routed the electrical supply (2 small wires) up the side of the radiator. You can see the unconnected wires inside the red boxes. I ended up connecting them on the radiator diagonal strut with cable ties. They are out of the way for any deep water transits there. 07 Jul 2012

Installed winch with hydraulic hoses178 viewsThe hydraulic hoses are stiff, so I had to run them up the side of the radiator (can just see inside red boxes) to near the top of the radiator, then back down inside the engine compartment, then underneath the engine (behind the radiator) to the D4's power steering rack, where the hoses become metal. This hose routing may not be possible if the fuel-burning heater is in place (we don't have those in Aust and the space allowed room for my hands to bend and run the hoses without kinking). 07 Jul 2012
