At this time I do not have a on record recommendation location for the control box. however I have seen many install it under the hood and also many other creative locations, throughout the forums.
One concern I would have is the distance from the mounting bolt holes and longer end of the winch being the same if shorter than the warn vr evo. I had to center the winch overall rather than spool center due to the tight packaging.
We have not test fitted any other winch besides the evo series. There is minimal room with the evo series. However, Warn is pretty good about providing detailed dimensions of there casings etc, maybe smittybilt has done the same and you can compare?
The Lobo Off-Road Aluminum Front Skid provides light-weight, high clearance, front-end protection for 6th-Generation Ford Broncos.

Not for the WNC Bumper. The trans fluid heat exchanger is further back in there. Perhaps you're thinking of the intercooler, which is more in the neighborhood of where the winch will be with that bumper. And no, you will not need to relocate the intercooler either. Feel free to check out our...
Good question, but no heat exchanger bracket is necessary for the winch bumper aluminum skit package. The heat exchanged is only require to be relocated with the winch skid.
Things are definitely taking longer than I hoped for, but doing everything we can to get everything stocked up. As we sit right now

I was going to do a install on the shop bronco that is a 2.7. However, right now the focus is on getting the winch bumper, and rear bumper to manufacturing (hope to be finalized over the next couple days) and completing manufacturing of the the HNT front bumper. Much thought is going into the...
So far we have had customers do the install with modular and capable bumpers. I have attached a link to a customers build with the capable bumper.

Hope to have the final instructions on the website by the end of the week. All customers that have placed orders should have received a rough draft of the instructions.
So far I have seen the horns on the front of the crossmember on all broncos, no matter the bumper and skid combo it came with from the factory. We are ironing out the last couple details on the instructions, prior to making public.
