| So I placed the order for the winch yesterday.  Where are you guys mounting the contactor/solenoid?

| I've mounted the solenoid on the top of the winch, it comes with a bracket. This summer it is going under the hood though. Probably when the bumper comes off for re-finishing.
On the Ex-1 bumpers it presses pretty hard against the bottom of the bezel where the wires come out the back. | |

I'll try to get you some pics. It was kind of a pain really. It's going to be a little tight to reach the plug for the remote cable. Good thing it's the back up since they are RC as well. | |

| I bought the fully-enclosed sealed unit. I like to go wheeling with Gericurl and I might just end up underwater. Thought sealed electronics would be best!
This being said, I had to have the wonderful brain of Brad Pugmire figure out a way to mount the sucker in my MetalTech bumper. Leave it to Brad to come up with the perfect solution!
We are definitely rocking the house now! | |

That would be awesome Brad! I received the winch yesterday, and just need my bumper from Demello, which is still 3-4 weeks out. Thanks | |

| Here is about the only pic of where I mounted the box. Ideally I would have put it in the engine bay, but my dual battery makes space limited.  winch roof basket 009 by cnckart, on Flickr | |

| Didn't realize you got a MT bumper. I know you had your heart on a Rocktek. I liked the RockTek until I heard how heavy they are. (heavier than plate bumpers). I still like the MT bumper though. | |
