I Let AI Install My Winch… And Then This Happened

I’m tired of busting my back loading my side-by-side, so I asked AI to fix it for me. The result? A beast of a 12,000 lb winch—and today we’re installing it.

In this video, I wire up the Badland Apex 12K, test it out, and show how AI guided the whole process—from gear selection to wiring.

The mount isn’t done just yet (I still need the winch plate), but the system works—and Part 2 is coming soon to finish the job.

Stay tuned to see how this winch performs when it’s fully bolted down and ready to rip.
