I had to fab a bracet to move the mounting location of the relays up and forward so the grill would fit back on.  it still needs paint, i know.  The wires were pre-connected and I don't have the proper gage wire to hide the box under the hood.  I'll get to it someday (about the time i rig up a cab control switch)   there is a perfect place by the master cylinder.

When moving that relay box, you should try to keep it as close as possible to the source and the winch, those wires are effin huge and the longer they are, the more drop in amps you get, hence, less power for the winch...You can actually leave it right where it is now and still run the in-cab controls. That's how ours is set...

I will probably just leave it, since i'm lazy :D  however if i want to fab a light bar over the winch, it might be in the way.  I'll have to see.  now all i need is a tree saver and snach block!  anyone want to get stuck so i can test it out?

lol, sounds like a good plan :)  once i have sliders, i'm more likely to try areas that i may get hung up on, but i couldn't beat the price or the free shipping!
