Something else I've done that others may find usefull is to relocate the winch controller socket (where you plug the handpiece into) from the solinoid pack to under the bonnet.
I have an ARB bar and because of where the socket is it can be in for a hard time if in the wrong situation. The following pic shows where it hangs out. The socket is usually in the middle of the red W (for warn) to the left of the numberplate (please forgive the fact I haven't painted my fill in yet)
This is where I've move it to
and from another angle
I made the braket in such a way that I can close the bonnet with the plug fitted (I only do this when acually using the winch or crossing a river with the winch ready for action if needed). The cord runs out without being squashed by the bonnet.
Just a note, this is in my TD, so that's why the battery is on the right hand side.
I am looking into fitting a in cabin switch using the areal up/down switch, but that's for after new years
Just for fun, here is my air compressor. The switch next to it turns it on and off (I don't have diff locks so it's only for tyre inflation so far - here's hoping tho)
