Houston,
Thank you for the review and taking the time. We are glad you are loving the winch mount and the car looks fantastic. FYI the dash winch controller will unplug and you can then feed the wire harness through the firewall a bit easier.
Yes, we agree for years Warn supplied the controller in the past and now they offer and sell it separately. They did this when they added Bluetooth technology and the Warn APP where you can control the winch via your phone. We personally like the reliable plug-in hand controller. Bring back the analogue... lol
