Yup... thin black and long black connect to the ground under the motor. Glad yours is all set up!

So is everyone happy with the Engo?? How do you think it compares to the Warn Zeon? Thanks

Is this a real question...? The Zeon is 3x the price of the engo...

When you push the button, 99.9% of the time they both pull cable like they should. One costs way more, and possibly adds another 9 to the end of that number.

The Zeon is a sweet looking winch, but the extra $$ from a few other well reputed winches to that could be a few more mods on the jeep to do something else!

That is well said with the 99%. I went to spend $1,500 on a Warn and was talked out of it by the dealer with similar logic. My Engo is on its way and I had $1,100 to spend on the PSC bumpers.

That's right, Wired my 10000s on Sunday and pulled my other car down the street no issues.
