Project Blue Jeep

That’s a good idea on wiring the winch controller inside the Jeep instead of pulling the cord over the side mirror and thru the window. Did you leave the plug on the winch too if you want to operate it from there too?

I like that idea too...

Yes. Kind of.
I extended the wiring on the control box so the box is protected under the hood in the engine bay. Did this for a couple reasons, first being that the plastic is known to UV fade and get brittle and crack. Second is it’s mounted much higher if I ever end up submerging it in mud and need to access it.

I also cut down and shortened an extra remote that I keep in glove box all the time

And then I keep the full length 12’ one in my recovery kit that I only bring with me when I plan on off-roading. (Tj’s don’t have much cargo space)

I don’t think I’ve ever used the connection under the hood after installing the inside one though.

Things seem to be going well on the “fix one thing a day” plan.

Buddy gave me this little guy, by some miracle the tiny Chrysler amp can actually push it (enough for better sound, not winning any audio competitions) so after testing it out, eff it why not.

If anyone needs an easy way to add power accessory connections to their terminals, don’t mount hem to the tightening bolt, that seems to always cause issues.

Instead, drill a hole through the flat section, tap some threads in it, screw in a bolt from underneath. Takes 5 minutes and costs next to nothing.
