Doh, I must remember that there are 2 different kinds of winches and not everyone lives in the gutter like I do.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Drill a hole through the firewall and connect the remote . then put it in or through the glove box.

Slo,

You can always leave the winch on and use a switch on the dash to activate a relay and feed electricity to the winch from the cab... I dont know how many amps a winch will pull, or if there is a relay that can handle it, but just a thought...
