We cut 3/4' hole under the warninig plate on the lower right side for my remote plug in,it came with a 30' hand held cable tied up out of the way, velcrowed the remote switch next to my shifer, works good when plowing snow 1 hand opperation for me. when not using rapp it up & put in glove box, didn't install the other switch no need for me to run extra wires.

I had an old road sign so I cut a 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 plate and mounted it between the frame rails and screwed the contactor to it. If you notice the wires coming from the winch to the contactor are the perfect length. What I did is, I cut about 3 feet off the contactor side of the wire and went to the hardware store and bought some wire terminals and crimped them on. It makes it look a lot cleaner then having a big ball of wire trying to hide somewhere.

you know I guess Im a bitt off the norm because I dont like alot of after-market stuff all over the dash so I dont use the rocker switch and the pug to hook up the remote I put in the glovebox so its hidden and you cant see it. That way the dash does not have any holes/switches in it. just my 2 cents

I ran mine to a swich on the center panel ... you can see it in this picture



Its the switch below the yellow label. It's doesn't matter if the rhino is on or off ... the switch controls if the winch is armed.

Yea, i bought the max, but im kinda hesitate about it, all the other winches i saw for 4500lbs were around 500 dollars, so i hope its not a dud and actually works good

I have heard alot of good things about them. Warn was what i had before on my MV7 and they were ok but nothing to write home about.I would not use it to pull D.A. people out all the time they wont last like that. always carry a tow strap.
