I'm finally getting around to mounting the VR 8000 winch i have owned for almost a year.
I built a bumper that keeps the winch very low as to not block my radiator,then it came time mount the solenoid box. It don't really want it on the front of the jeep because of the airflow and bashing it on trees, and i'm trying to keep as much of the grill as i can. So under the hood is looking like the plan. Next problem is where to put it so i can connect the plug easily. Then i came up with a thought that looks good on paper but want some one to tell me it will actually work.
I want to mount the box under the hood then pull the plug out of the box and lengthen the 5 wires by about 4 feet and mount the plug by itself on the grill or some bracket i make. Would this work or not?
