I got the rear view mirror at bass Pro Shops and the winch has a plug adapter mounted below the steering wheel that accepts about a 12' remote switch.... I thought i would use the winch in case i got stuck but so far haven't needed it. I know it will come in handy one day so I don't look at it like It was a waste of money. I used my Grizzly winch all the time lifting shooting houses and pulling wood out.
