the winch has come off for good dont want it anymoree so for sale soon (x9 superwinch)
Will keep my eyes peeled, really want a winch next

All looking pretty good, must admit you have got me thinking about ripping the centre out of my dash and making something now

one thing that always makes me wonder when i do wireing, is where the hell does it all go, only wired up a few switches and appear to have more wires than the whole loom did :S

Have you considered using spiral wrap on your wires? In my old job all the fork trucks wiring was bound in the stuff, its pretty durable and tidys wiring up no end.

wires don't bother me as I would want to mount the solanoid inside the bonnet area anyway

Coming along nicely Tom, I use that plastic convoluted tubing everywhere in mine :lol: does tidy up the wiring and give it a bit of protection.
