Where to mount which control box for Warn VR10 and an ARB bull bar?

I'm currently installing an ARB bull bar (the 03+ version) and a Warn VR10S and am a little stuck. Started to look at mounting the winch and I'm not really sure where the control box belongs. It looks like Warn may sell a relocation kit, not sure if I need that or not? I've also seen some people mount it inside the engine bay?

This is how I mounted mine on the ARB Sahara. I was pretty sure the sahara and bull bar had the same top plate? You can see the silver mounting bracket:

It did come with the triangle mounting bracket but I'm not seeing a way to mount the VR control box to that.

Are you talking about the old style VR10000s

or the new style VR10000s

If your talking about the older one w/ the ARB bracket:

new style

new style

I don't have any experience mounting the newer one.

Maybe not a 100 series, but here's one guy's solution for the newer style Warn VR10-s, on an ARB deluxe bar (on a 4th gen 4Runner):

Yup, that's probably the easiest fix. Thanks!
