    A light above the winch that illuminates when you activate the in cab isolation switch is also a bloody good idea too, I didn't do that either damn it.

    Guys what are the advantages of the buttons as against the control cable and handset? I ask as I have a 8m cable for both the front and rear winches and don't find it a problem getting cable off or on and can stay well out of the line of fire as well. Is this more for re-spooling after a recovery?
    I also added a led strip light over the front winch drum and makes a big difference for sure, need to work one out for the rear - somehow

    In my case, my controller sh!t itself and I couldn't find a replacement (t max) I also needed to replace the solenoid So I decided to run in cab controls.

    Yeah buttons are for respooling with no load and also highmounts without a snazzy air freespool upgrade need to be powered out with the motor as the factory freespool is damn near useless as your spinning all the gears by hand and is very hard yacka. Convenience of buttons vs plug in controller is you don't have to fish it out, plug it in, feed throug window etc, but other than that serves same propose. Also as you ending up building the whole system from scratch it's eaisier and cheaper to source switches and all the gear to sit up this way if that makes sense. .

    @Rossco ; I think I have it worked out without the external switches.

    Can you use your external switches with the isolator switch off?

    All the lights will be on as soon as you switch on accessory power.
    Should the lower lights be switched with the isolator or come on with headlights? Or do you just want them on

    Ah yeah I see. If I link 4 to 1 and 6 to 3 they should come on when pressed... Thanks.

    6 from the isolator switch should go to a wire that picks up power when headlights on. The buttons up front on mine don't work unless isolator is on, so just pick up power from 3 on isolator switch and also use this for your led strip light if your going to use it.

    My 2 cents worth
    Separate the location of the winch isolator switch and the operational switch (in/out)
    Isolator on dash somewhere where it cannot be easily knocked (and winch powered up without realizing) and in/out switch on console. If things are hairy don't want the switches next to each other, and in haste press the wrong one!
    Consider a wireless remote. If caught out on your own can spool out while dragging winch line to point of attachment and winch back in to take up slack ensuring straps, protectors etc position themselves as intended, before doing the actual recovery.

    Cheers Trevor
