    Just got my relentless fab bumper in, and don’t know where the control mount is supposed to go? There’s no holes drilled and the wires aren’t long enough to tuck it into the engine bay. Please help.

    Why not put in the hollow space next to the winch?

    Fab a bracket to the space available in the bumper and mount it next to the winch or buy longer cables from your local auto parts store and mount it inside the engine bay.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Uhh make longer cables? Not hard to make, hydraulic crimpers from HF and some copper lugs and 2 gauge welding wire and you're set. That's what I did, now my solenoid is above my airbox.

    Thankyou all. I figured there had to be another option but inside the engine bay seems like the best one. It’s the cleanest looking and really the only option for this application. There’s no room inside the bumper or on top. I will be making the cables longer and mounting like said above.
