Where to mount winch control box?

I see, did you extend the $hittybilts or just make all new ones?

I made new ones. Extending can get sketchy with that much current.

Totally... Thanks for the info, I may decide to relocate mine as I kinda hate sitting out on the bumper. It looks like crap.

Sweet lol, It was also cheaper to make new than extend with pre-made cables.

I just finished my relocation to fit behind the grille. Took way longer than it should have, but it's done and working. In the future I am going to make a custom badge for the grille with a Warn logo and a remote receptacle.

Here are a few pictures of it:

It's the CBI Hybrid. It would fit on top of the winch if I wanted to hack off the bottom of my grill...

That's not an option for me.

I know this in an old thread, but . . . I don't know about the CBI (or your control box) but I put my Warn controller on ARB bumper. It wouldn't fit either - too close to the grill (the 02 grill). I had pulled the bumper off my 98 so I used the 98 grill on my 02 and it fits fine. Maybe an option?

I know - old thread. But I was hunting for creative spots with short wires on my Smitty. Cut a piece of steel flat stock (.125 x .75) and mounted through the height adjustment holes on my Savage front bumper. Sorry for the glare in the pic.
