Winch Solenoid Box

[Patrolman]

I was looking to build my own solenoid box under the hood of my 4Runner since the original one died. I found this link where someone is building a submarine, yes a submarine, and needed to build their own winch box. Interesting info!

FYI - I've got a solenoid box you can have from my Smittybilt X20-8 winch. I had an issue where it would no longer spool out; would just spool in and free spool. It was under warranty so they just sent me a brand new one. It may have just been a ground issue. You're more than welcome to just have this one; its got all of the cables and everything; either re-use some of the parts or just take it for the housing. PM me if interested.

Thanks to JFjeld for the winch box. Will post how it turns out!

Glad you could use it; was just sitting in the garage taking up space. Look forward to seeing how it turns out.

I hooked it up to my MileMarker winch and it worked great! Unsure what had been wrong with it. I tested a few things, no problems. I even modified it by moving some of the cables so it is under the hood now. Will take some pics when done and post when I get a chance.
