Hey guys,

I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr?

And if so how do it go this haha?

Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general.

Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire.

It is always the one that bolts to the body.
