This is exactly what I have in mind although I will be looking for an automatic (what I have currently in the jeep). I've started my search just not really ready to pull the trigger unless something perfect pops up.
So I got the Warn M8000 winch in and then thought "oh yeah I need a winch plate
" Just have been so busy lately it didn't occur to me before, but no big deal still waiting on other parts and time to work on the jeep. So ordered a smittybilt winch plate and Finally found a decent priced stock 4 switch bezel to put in my 05' dash. So with a switch bezel coming I ordered some Contura switches from OTRATTW so I have in cab winch controls. An idea I liked after seeing this thread

Also ordered a Contura switch for fog lights (another thing I'm working on
) and one for a front locker (wishful thinking I guess). Should be able to make some progress this week or atleast next weekend. Still thinking about if I want the control box for the winch mounted under the hood or up front on the winch.
So even though I haven't had a spare minute to work on the jeep due to work, it has been worth it. because I now have the best DD ever.
Not because it gets good MPG's or fits the baby nicely in the back seat, but because it cost me nothing. It's a company car, and saves me an easy $80 a week in gas. Now I just have to figure out how to work on the jeep while commuting
