Default Relocate winch control box (solenoid) inside engine compartment.

Is there enough room to relocate the control box inside the JK's engine compartment?
And if so where?

Badlands 12000lb Harbor Freight winch (don't flame me too hard)
2013 JK 4 door

Will be installing wireless controller as well.

Thanks in advance

I just relocated my solenoid box but I had to take it out of the plastic box because it was taking up too much space. I mounted mine under my bumper and ran the plug in to the side of the frame . The solenoid itself is pretty small so you can probably find a place for it under the hood. I'm not sure how long your wires are but you may have to buy some longer pieces for relocating under the hood. Good luck !

Thanks for the input. I'm gonna find a way. I want to mount lights where the control box is located.
