Do you guys run a power interrupt switch of some sorts for your winches?
Or is that not really needed?

I have my winch wired in my dash. I do have a toggle that I have to click on, and two push buttons for in and out. My aux battery is wired straight to the winch with no interruptions.Do you guys run a power interrupt switch of some sorts for your winches?

I did the same.I have my winch wired in my dash. I do have a toggle that I have to click on, and two push buttons for in and out. My aux battery is wired straight to the winch with no interruptions.
You can see it here it is the "Plan B" switch and the two buttons next to it are the in and out:

Is there a way to wire in cab winch controls like that that leave the waterproof winches waterproof?
Are you planning on submerging your TJ?
I think the winches are waterproof for the most part. I don't think the solenoids necessarily have to be. Mine is wired into the cab into switches that look stock but are not waterproof by any means. I am pretty sure I can submerge my winch under water and still use it. I have done it before, Not on my current setup, but with rigs a while ago. Also I have never submerged my which and had it just start working because it was under water without hitting the switch.I'm not b opening to buy you never know what might need to be done. They make winches waterproof for a reason and the install I've seen requires drilling into the housing of the winch to connect the wires that run to the dash. I might at some point try running a second winch remote wire and use that to hard wire switches and then I just need to get out and plug that into the winch the same as you would connect the remote.
