Wire connections on winch motor
When you wire up the winch motor does anyone do any waterproofing to the wires connected to the winch motor?
Mine has the standard little angled plastic caps but they are not that waterproof.

Plenty leave them fully exposed. They are a solid connection so the water is not likely to compromise the connection I don't think. I use rubber boots. I have also used liquid sealer which was good but messy.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

I just used copper grease on mine. The caps tend to hold moisture in.

I have spent some time fixing the control box for the new winch.
So today started to undo the old winch cables. The 3 main cables in their coloured caps were relatively clean. Also seems they had a wipe over of some stuff called "Nothing". Easy to undo.
Control box in tomorrow and main +ve isolator. Then after a regrease, normally called "putting grease in that was not there in the first case", winch in tomorrow or next day.
Seems I need to get a can of 'Nothing' for the connectors also.
