Where to mount the winch control box?
Well the Puma now has the bar fitted, the Warn XDC (similar to a 9.5XP) is mounted, the front's dropped 1cm (new springs on the way)... now all that is left is:
Change the indicator bulbs in the bar to lower wattage to stop the trailer flasher working
Mount and wire up the spotlights
And...

Work out where to mount the winch control box

The ARB bar came with the usual tab to mount the control box. Which conveniently doesn't fit the XDC control box. The winch came with a nice solid mount, that would be perfect if the winch was mounted feet downwards.

I only need access to the control box in worst case as I have also bought the wireless remote. I've been toying with down the passenger's side guard or just making a bracket for the front above the winch in the normal way. Any suggests are welcome - pictures would help 110 2.4TDCi

I was about to say buy the Warn Remote as it`s a great piece of kit but after reading on ,i see you`ve done that Thumbs Up
Have you got aircon??? If not could you mount it behind the grill?

I didn't think the new Defenders sold anywhere without aircon. Certainly no room behind the grill. I did think of on the wheel arch behind the LH headlight, but then I'd never get to it if I did need to use the winch controller instead of the wireless remote. 110 2.4TDCi

90% sold without aircon.

Yes i was going to say this morning behind the light on the wing, behind the grill or in the cab (seen that one was very good)

You could also re-route the a wire to allow you to plug in a normal controller onto the wing. Mike
