so i decided to install an in cab winch control...found a Warn ATV winch controller for next to nothing and wanted to see if it would work with the Smittybilt XRC8 winch that i have... well found out that it works perfectly and did the install today...very easy to do three wires and its done...the controller is installed in the center console and the wires simply go to the winch solenoid...easy as that...
dont mind the cup holder full of change...the controller is an absolutely perfect fit for the spot its in...
by the way i have another controller if someone wants to get it by chance..
