warn m8000 control box install

[Elijah]

I'm looking for some pics of how and where you guys installed the control box for your winch. Just trying to avoid any learning curve if you know what I mean.

Elijah,

I have it on top of the winch, with the license plate in front of it.
From the front it's hard to tell the box is there.

Alvaro, do you have the winch mounted with the cable and connections on the driver or passenger side??

Elijah,

Not quite sure if I understand your question.
The control box is on the passager side. On top of the winch motor.

BTW, you will need to use an ARB kit for this winch to fit properly. Another alternative is to use shims or washers. Right out of the box the M8000 does not sit flush against the bumper. It's a bit cockeyed. I used shims to separate it from the bumper and straighten it.

Regards

Alvaro
