Good deal. I put a Superwinch on my Gator. Sure makes it easy to strap the Gator on the trailer now.

Since you got the synthetic rope and billet aluminum fairlead you may want to order a winch cable stopper before you wind the rope onto the winch. You can add it later but your have to rewind the rope. If you don't get one just make sure you don't retract the rope in until the hook scratches the fairlead. You want to keep is as smooth as possible to prevent cutting the rope fibers.
Most auto parts stores have a resettable breaker you can substitute for the double 50 amp contraption provided by Superwinch. It has a more appropriate amperage and can be mounted without enclosing it in a plastic soap box.
Even though you are putting a switch in the dash don't forget to install the socket for the pendant. I find it a big help to be out of the Gator sometimes when using the winch like when using the winch to help secure the Gator on a trailer.

I have seen people commenting but why change to a higher rated breaker. My initial reaction would be like changing a wall breaker from 15A to 30A when the circuit is not rated for it but the winch is rated to draw more and have asked this question to Superwinch.
Is the circuit breaker self-resetting?

I took the SuperWinch breaker and slipped it into a 6 inch piece of clear hose. Left the ends open for cooling. Used a tie wrap to keep the breaker from slipping out by accident.

I don't think the breaker is really needed but if you look at the specs for the winch it pulls about 160 amps at full load and I think the 3500 model pulls closer to 180 amps. Superwinch provides a Frankensteined two 50 amps breakers together to sorta give you 100 amps. Worst is that there is no proper way for mounting it so you're left wrapping it in electrical tape, putting it inside a plastic soap box or Tupperware container. The breaker can be can be manually tripped and reset and is easily mounted.
The picture is of a 100 amp model which is close to $60 at my local store. The 150 amp version was less than half the price.

I had not seen that post. I had read about the soap box but did not see the pic with the sealing. I will probably add it in the overcrowded battery area.
I also found a 100A water sealed resetable similar to the one Dane posted for $32.
From the JD winch install, the use the yellow/black connector to supply switched power to the circuit.
Thanks.

The winch mount came in this weekend. The cambridge mount is nice and the instructions look nice. I also ordered some Delphi connectors/terminals (males, females of housing and terminial) to create the daisy like JD.
I now just need to get a translucent soap box for the circuit breaker (decided that over the nice one from Autozone that Dane posted) and also the cable stopper.
