Well I changed by ARB front bumper for the Safari Gard bumper in the fall of 07 but never mounted the control box for the winch. While I like the SG bumper better than the ARB, the SG does not give the user a dedicated spot to mount the winch box so I had to come up with a location.
ARB
There are three light tabs on the bumper for lights. Since I wasn't mounting three lights on my bumper I had contemplated using the center tab to mount the winch control box. While the center light tab would have worked, I did not want to block the airflow to the radiator any more than I already had with the other two lights. I also felt that locating the winch control box on the center tab would have been a little unsightly.
SG
I did some research to see what other Disco SG bumper owners had done and none of them would work for my application. Most moved the control box in front of the airbox behind the driver's side headlight which I couldn't do because the air compressor for my lockers is located there. So what I decided to do was mount the winch box behind the skid plate.
This was easily done as there were holes that already existed for a factory splash guard. I didn't have to make a bracket either as I still had the one used to mount the control box to the ARB, which had slotted holes that lined up. Once I mounted the box I had to relocate the control plug. I drilled out the rivets that were used to attach the plug to the box and then mounted the plug to my grill.
To ensure a good waterproof connection on the wire extension I used red (18-22 Ga.)
Wurth Crimp/Solder/Seal connectors (#1559). Once the wires are crimped you use a heat gun which melts the solder and shrinks the plastic casing making the connection true and waterproof. The Wurth connectors are typically used for marine applications and are well worth the extra cost.
I mounted the control plug behind the main hoop of the brush guard so it would be a bit less conspicuous.
So there you have it. Everything is where I want it to be and the winch now lives. I plan on switching over to synthetic winch rope eventually.
