Mounting my winch.

Ok guys, I started to mount my winch last Saturday. I got the winch in, Synthetic Winch Rope, Aluminum Hawse Fairlead and the winch mount (came in Friday).

Long story short, The mount was wrong and its going to run me more money in shipping to get them to send me the right now so I just ordered a KFI mount.

But mean time the Kodiak is a part where I park my truck at night so I started on the wiring and its been diving me craze to where I am going to mount the solenoid.

I bought this ATV for working on the land and trail rides, but knowing how I am, Its going to end up in the water deeper then it should be, and in the mud a lot. So I wanted the solenoid to be up a bit higher then where I was going to put it.

Now I started looking at pic. on the sight and I could not find a lot on the pre 86 Kodiaks. At first I was going to go under the seat, but I am not that good making wires look that good. Then I seen some take the newer Kodiaks and Grizzly uner the hood. So I thought I would do the same. I did not want to drill into the plastics so I know I did what a lot of you are going to say I am crazy for doing, but the wireless box, and the solenoid I ended up using Velcro. I know that this sounds a bit crazy but I thought I would try it.

But I thought I would post some pic for others looking for ideas and for some to give me your input on.
