I'd hang on to it and wire it up to the winch. I'm assuming since it's originally for lights, it's probably not very thick gauge but with the proper relays I'm sure it could be done. The convenience of not having to drape your control wire from the winch to the driver's compartment sure would be handy though.

That's cool. Like Basslicks said. Using it to switch a winch solenoid would be cool. I put an in cab winch switch in my truck. It runs through a 500 amp solenoid. You could activate the winch solenoid with the remote. Obviously, you can't run winch power through it.

Or, it might be better suited for some rock lights? if you don't already have them.

My bumper or plans don't include a winch so no winch in my future. But I'm sure I'll find something to wire it too. It's s very cool setup for sure.

I did when I still had my factory bumper. I have a creepy fab bumper that's held down by 16 bolts and I love it.

Wow, it's been a while.
Recently did a few things, maintenance, led cb antenna, and new wheels.
Bought an LED strip and the power supplies off ebay and wrapped my firestik and so far no issues even through the rain. It'll be fun at night Jeep events around here and it only cost $25 for everything.


brightness is on lowest power.

Recently bought a full set of pro comp soft 8s off a friend for $200. They're 15x8 3.75" BS so alone they stick out 1/4" more than the Turbines with the spacers. For a couple reasons I've decided to leave the spacers on though for 2.50" BS. I love the look and no more worries on rocks. The stance is amazing with the 33x10.50s and rides great.
