Lucrum Winch Mount - M8000 control box suggestions
Hi all,
I've got my Lucrum winch mount installed w/M8000 winch and am looking for some suggestions on where to put the control box. I've got it temporarily installed to the left of the mount clamped to the light bar support post behind the plastic bumper. I can plug in the hand control from underneath, but it's not very convenient. I intend to relocate to some place a little better, but beyond putting the box in the engine compartment I am at a loss for ideas. With the light bar mount, the box doesn't fit very well next to the winch so the simplest option is out.
Any suggestions?
I've thought about getting one of the wireless controllers, but it says to unplug it from the control box when done using the winch. Is there a reason for this? The wireless controller would be the cleanest and simplest, but if I have to unplug it from the control box after each use what's the point. Is this to prevent stray radio signals from operating the winch? Could I get around this with a cut-off switch between the battery and the winch?
The winch mount is awesome by the way. Very sturdy and not too hard to install. It is definitely easier with two people though, at least for the part where you mount it to the FJ.
