correct that is why I said to go and get a steering column out of a 1997+ with cruise and use the wires coming out at dash end to wire relays. if you got real fancy you could use the accelerate and coast buttons to run your winch in and out...
the clock "spring" is just a loose coil of banded wire (like inside a tower style computer) that is half coiled, so that it tightens and loosen with wheel turn.

FYI a little 3,500lb winch isn't gonna do much if anything for you.
Thats considered an ATV class winch.
Personally I'd recommend this: http://www.detoursusa.com/xjbackbone.php
For a Jeep, you really need at least a 6K winch, but most recommend 8.5K or above. If you go bigger it'll put less stress on the components when you do pull and the winch will last longer.

I took and snorkled mine using 3 in PVC pipe. I cut a hole in front fender and turned it up the side of the fender as tight as possible and capped it of when not in use when it is I pop on a aftermarket 30 dollar air filter just above roof line. Also did the exhaust the same but cut a hole in rear fender ran exhaust pipe along body to just above roof line. Look quit nice
