Looking good. I was going to mount the same style switch where you did, but found it to be too flimsy. Hows it hold up on yours?

When you route the wiring make sure it doesn't rub on anything sharp.
You may even want to wrap it with something.
My hot wire grounded out, and caused all sorts of problems.
Edit: Looks good too!

Me too, I remember Erik (BignBrokeYJ... where is he anyway) putting one on and seemed to be fairly impressed by it.

What's all this talk about an old model? Which do have, The winch does wonders with a snatch block. I've only had to use it once so far.
