Warn VR winch install question.

for those of you that have install these winches, do you have to remove the control box? If so where did you secure it to? Currently installing my SSO slimline and winch and don’t think it’s going to fit the way it comes from the factory.

 

I did and I built a mount right where you hand is in the last picture. So it is relocated there. If you don't mind some wiring you could relocate it up to the bay.

 

Cool man, thanks for the info. I’ll explore options but for now I have it sitting off to the side in the winch tray.

 

Do you happen to have a picture of this mounting solution and the location you mentioned by chance?

 

i don't. I simply took a thin sheet of aluminum and bent it into a flattened "z" shape to create a surface in front of radiator, mounting on the offset crossmembers there. nothing too glamorous.
