Im about to wire up a warn m8000 into my D2. Im planning to use an albright solenoid pack in place of the warn unit. I'm hoping to fit the solinoid pack/contactor and an isolator solenoid in the space where the jack should be.

If anyone has experience of doing this, please let me know any issues you had. Or any tips I should take on board.

I will post some pictures once I get started.

Unless you have the Albrite unit laying on the bench begging then save the money and use the Warn.

I fitted my solenoid pack under the slam panel.

I have already got the Albright. Cheapest I could find was from RedWinch.
Did you fit the warn solenoid pack behind the slam panel, it seems a bit big?

Thanks for the link.

This is my quickly sketched wiring plan.
