I moved the soleniod beside the battery Attachment 4017 I ran new cables from the solenoid to the battery and winch. Auto part stores carry a large selection of battery cables with the right ends to hook up the battery to the soleniod and the soleniod to the winch. I used a trailer 4 wire wiring harness (removed 1 wire as its not needed) from the soleniod to the controlled hook up. I placed the trailer wire 4 plug hook up connection behind the grill to make the removal of the grill easier and place the controlled connection through the grill inserts to finish it off.


Hope this gives others ideas on making mods your own.


Thanks to all for the direction and I hope this helps someone else with thier project.

Also, I was able to install the Solenoid box on the frame rail behind the bumper on the drivers side, it's easily accessable there and I like how hidden from plain sight it is. Let me know if you need more pictures.
