For anyone interested. Here is a pic of the TRD Pro spare wheel part number (PT946-35240) on my 2025 TRD Pro 4Runner. Its the same wheel for all 4 corners also. Also some other pics for context.
Hi all. I wired my front Warn Winch (installed in our Rago winch bumper) directly to the rear 12v battery via an interior 0 guage cable run to an engine bay solenoid that is triggered by Aux 3. I have a Mudbath TRD Pro.
In this video, I detail the installation. Hope this helps someone.
First, you need to understand the amp draw from the lights. Then you simply run the appropriate guage wire from the lights. There will only be a positive and ground. The ground can be wired directly to any ground spot in the engine bay. You run the positives to the power source. If using an aux...

okay. So they are slightly off and it wasnt me.
Was pretty simple to enlarge them with the bumper installed. Just took a drill and drilled next to the hole and worked the bit around and then used a small file to open it up until the bolt would thread in easily. Was a pain in the ass though. Took...
Thanks! Appreciate it.
I had to widen the bolt holes, on the bumper, that are for the skid plate mounting points. They were just off by 1/4”. Im sure if I kept everything loose I could have wiggled it into place but it was so hard getting the main bolts to line up that I tightened those down...
Love our Rago Fab one. Here is our install video. It fits great. Weighs around 120lbs with warn 12k winch. The bumper alone is around 70 lbs. dang winch is super heavy but necessary equipment for me. Total parts taken off and not put back on were around 15lbs. So net weight is around 105 lbs.
Very nice write up! Here is my install video in case this can add to the help. I installed in same location but with only the included Arb bracket and I installed to one of my Aux switches. I detail
aux switch wiring,
the ports on the compressor for pressure switch, quick connect and...

Yes, there is. Its in the passenger side wheel well compartment where the Trailhunter air compressor is factory installed. In there you will find an unconnected connector for the compressor. It has 4 wires. The two 10 guage are always on. The black is the positive and the white/black is ground...
You can put them directly (assuming portable version) on the jumper post in the engine bay and ground to any ground point in the engine bay or directly to the battery in the rear cargo area.
also, i just installed the single brushless on my TRD Pro in the engine bay and hooked up to aux 4...
Our wifi and fiber connections when our home power went out. The beauty is, that if the batteries get too low, the engine will start automatically to recharge the batteries!!
And the car engine is way quieter than our home generator! I think this is so cool!! The offgrid/overlanding...
