    Well i got the remote control for the winch temperary wired up and it works nicely. but i am at a loss on where to mount it. The plug for the controller is a 4 pin T handle with corresponding plug. so i need to mount it somewhere. i am using a DC adapter plug box to mount thhe plug into. i just need to find a place to mount it cleanly. right now i have my solinoids taking up most of the space on the passenger fender. I also considered mounting the plug on the dash with the other two controls. I have enough length on the remote on the dash. i am just at a loss and need some ideas and pics of how others mounted their winch controls. Also does anyone have pics of the cables mounted to the Belleview winch, I jsut want to make sure i am correct in how it mounts.

    Thanks!!!

    Thanks Guys. I have seen them under the dash, has anyone mounted them in the dash so the cable controls do not hang down?? I would defiantely like to see them routed through the engine compartment and connected to the winch. :)

    i rewired my dash last night, a buddy of mine and i were talking about bringing thm through the dash one ata rtime all in a row, kind of like the way you would mount a toggle switch. i think im gonna do, one it would get rid of the bulky metal frame for the switches, and 2 it would get it away from under the dash
