I mounted a 3000# winch on the hitch of my Outback (found hitch winch mount for $39.00 at harbor frt) for light use while going to a campground. I go through a dirt and gravel road to reach campground. However, am stumped on wiring it to the car. It seems vehicle battery is too small for claimed full load 190 amp draw expected from the 1hp motor on winch. How do you handle that? I've seen some Foresters and Outbacks with winches in front and read about others with the winch in back. I know enough to not keep spinning the wheel and digging a hole for it when stranded in soft sand. Not doing any serious offroading just need to get through soft sand road and the low tires will not grab at some points even partially deflated. Can't figure out how to wire winch to battery in front of car and worried about the winch load. It seems the outback battery does not have the load carrying capacity 12amp hours for the winch. or does it? I could just run one single jumper wire to the positive pole and just ground the winch to frame. Any help will be appreciated. thanks wanhanlu

Lets see all those Subaru's with a winch. I just had this custom bumper with a Warn 4000lb winch built. This is my 96 Legacy L Wagon with a 4' lift. so far.
