Mounted the winch controller plug in/ Inside my grill, what do you think?

I dont like how people mount the controller plug in, in front of the grill so i...
Cut out the grill mounted the controller plug in to some angle iron. Then mounted the angle iron/ controller plug in to the core support.

I think it looks sleaker and sano(my buddies dad sais its sano when stuff looks good)

Thats the best winch control mounting ever........ no really the location is great and it looks good but did you mount it securely?

from the looks of the rest of your truck my guess would be.... yes.
