Does anyone know where I can get a switch panel like the one below for my winch setup, or do we think this is maybe a homemade panel ?

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationyou can get panels like that on ebay.. or alternatively get one like this and just stick it to the dash with Velcro.. saves running wires and can be taken out the cab when needed..

Dont like the idea of an wireless remote... especially cheap ones!

That wireless link might brake down at the wrong point and send the winch winding in or out uncontrollably

I would feel much safer with a cut off switch!

I don't like the idea of running wires in and out the engine bay especially when done by somebody who has no idea what they are doing.. Id rather my winch defaulted to STOP which is what they do when signal is lost rather than my car set fire while driving down the road! combine this with a red handle isolator and understand that RISK is possible when winching and driving off road and you have your solution..
