Solved - Winch Bumper No Room for Control Pack

[2ndA732]

I picked up a Chassis Unlimited Winch Bumper and am having hell of a time trying to accomplish two things:

1) How to extend the control pack wiring (seems like I could just switch out the thick gauge wire for longer)

And

2) Where to fit the Control pack

This bumper is low profile and the winch I got is Warn VR12. I know part of my problem is the intercooler, but I am convinced I can find a way to mount the control pack somewhere that is not a PITA to use. Pics to come.

Any advice?

Here's a picture of the short control cable for my Warn Vr12. You can also see backside of my bumper and slim profile. I definitely can't fit it behind the bumper, but am wondering what other areas people have mounted their control box.

Sorry to revive a dinosaur but did you ever end up figuring out a good spot for the control pack?

Control pack have zero business being in a bumper. Everyone remotes mount them under the hood out of the elements.

I have the same bumper and a badlands 12k that also won’t fit in the bumper with the control pack. But there is no room anywhere under the hood for it which is why I ask.
