    OME up front, Dakar in the back, Elite front bumper, Warn winch, Tactical rear bumper with tire swing/jerry cans/hi lift, Revenge Fab. sliders, Tundra brakes, Camburg UCA's, Safari Snorkle, FJ TRD wheels, Lights, CB, Switches, skids, LED's... OH MY!
    So I'm switching out my used/newer model m8000 for a new/older model m8000 winch. The control box for the older model is bigger and may not fit into the space I had the newer model control box in without some figuring out.

    I was wondering if there was any reason I couldn't just wire my older model m8000 to my newer model control box.

    Thanks!

    There should be no problem. I installed a new style controller on my older XD9000 Warn works good.

    You can swap the whole control box
