Re: Winch control box location?

PM Jasim84 for some pictures of his setup. When we did his Lucrum bumper and winch installation we put the control box right next to the winch in the bumper's tray and then removed to plug from the control box cover and mounted it into the front of the bumper on the driver's side. Nice and clean. Some custum battery cables were needed. Most auto parts stores sell 2ga wire by the foot (from a spool in the back, $1.80 a foot here) and the fittings for the ends should be off the shelf.
I like the idea of moving the plug from the control box to somewhere more convenient. I've seen one post linking over to a Tacoma (if I remember correctly) forum where the plug was actually mounted inside the cab. Does anyone see a problem with that? I'm planning to add the WARN Power Cut-off kit, so I'm not overly concerned about someone tampering with my winch from the control box plug...but for convenience, seems like having the plug in the cab would be nice. Assuming the control box will be under the hood, then you don't have the remote wire running out from under the hood when winching ...looking for comments on this from experienced 'winchers'. Control plug in the cab or sticking out of the grill???
