ARB Summit bumper..Controller mounting
1 Attachment(s)
All of the instructions for the ARB Summit winch install show the controller exposed on the top side protruding from the top. Has anyone figured out how to mount the controller inside the bumper and still manage to access it to plug in your remote? I have the bumper and my Smitty XRC waiting to go in soon. I want to utilize the removable top plate that comes with the bumper to keep everything closed off, but I still need to access the controller.
Remote mounting is an option but requires building new cables and more work. I'm hoping someone has hidden their controller somewhere they're still able to access it in the bumper. There doesn't seem to be a ton of experience posts around this bumper. |
Not specific to the bumper, but it's very easy to remote the control plug to somewhere inside the hood or anywhere else you'd like. You don't need to extend the heavy cables. Just the signal wires. This is where I put mine - I used a waterproof box to house a master on/off switch, the remote plug female adapter socket, and the wireless control box with relays for wireless operation. It mounts to a small bracket I made that bolts to the inner fender welded nuts that were available.

Yeah, you're spot on about remote mounting, but it does make things a bit more complicated with the cables. Still, if you're all about that sleek, integrated vibe, putting in the effort for custom cabling could be worth it. |
