So I started stuffing around with adding an external switch. Piss farting around trying to find a good discreet spot for the switch. Rummaging through my box of lecky bits and I found this.

Kinda forgot all about it.
So I ditched the switch idea and turned my thoughts to this.
It’s made for VRS winches, having all the correct plugs to fit. Got the side cutters out and lopped them off and grafted it in to the Patrol.
All works as it should.
But now I’ve decided to remake an entire new engine bay loom from the relay box.
As I had modded the OEM relay box to house all the extra relays I was running.
This pic is what it was like. Tons of spare spaces.

Fast foward to the final mod.

But, this mod was done what I had projected HID light with LED angel eyes and blue Devils eyes. These are now gone so I still have the relays connected. So I will remove the relay box and rewire it again so I can use these relays for something else.
A big can of worms I think I have opened up. Rewiring this relay box was a BIG job...

.........
Have heard decent reviews on VRS products Mr Mark Mate!
I please do need to echoe again my thoughts on wireless winch controllers though sorry mate :-(
We nearly took a blokes leg off with a Supercentre controller on our little logging trailer as it kept running on out of control.
Upgraded to a Warn remote / 5 wire adaptation to a 3 and response time became somewhat instant.
Hopefully the VRS can do the same safety for you too brother, as close as a momentary bullbar button taught once of @Winnie needed!
FWIW: The cheapo controller we started off with ran through a shipload of batteries hourly working too :-(

I hear ya mate. Once I find a good spot I will add the switch in. The solenoid is easily accessible.

Very neat mark, puts me to shame!!!
I mirror what MB says about the wireless remote. I prefer a fixed cable. We had an instance on site where two wireless remotes arrived on site from different contractors with the same frequency! It was caught during the safety and pre-start so nothing happened, but could have been a disaster - it was on vehicle mounted lifting jibs.

Then to think about these ARB deluxe steps. I want to make them into a slider of some sort.
These steps are pretty tuff out of the box. Pretty heavy duty shizz.
