Did you mount the control box to the winch or were you able to relocate it?

I have a Smittybilt winch, and I need to relocate the control box, so I am looking for ideas.

My control box is mounted to the winch. My winch is kind of laying on it's back with the control box up in the cavity in front of the intercooler.

The winch mount instructions address certain Smittybilt's. I had to dismount the Warn controller and rotate the head of the winch. Mounted the controller onto the supplied plate and that mounted into the bumper. I can send some pictures if that is helpful, just let me know. Be aware you'll have to make extension leads from the controller to the actual winch.

I have 20 feet of 2 gauge on its way to build the new cables. I'd love pictures.

I don't have the instructions for the winch on me but can upload them tomorrow if that is helpful. Did you get the winch mounting kit with the plate?

Relocated the control box. On the ARB you have to rotate the clutch on the winch to mount it and they provide a mount for the control box.
