from searching i found its pretty easy to remote mount the winch solenoid. with the bumper' i'm fabbing the solenoid won't fit unless i hack the grille, rather not, since i'm shooting for a clean almost factory look. i rather not mount it under the hood and have to open the hood to use it. so where's a good spot. i never winched before so this is one of many questions i will have.

u guys prefer sitting in the truck to steer while winching or standing outside to see better. i think i might try to mount the plug front driver corner so i could do either

Mount solenoids under hood with remote plug on the grill + a second wired controller inside the cab.. Best of both worlds and covers an eventuality.
