I don't have an Ironman, although I suspect mine came out of the same factory in China.
I had to flip my winch over, the terminals are on the passenger side of the vehicle. I've mounted the control box on the left-hand chassis rail - it can be reached squatting next to the vehicle from the front, but isn't obvious, so the morons that want to stuff with it have to go looking harder for it. Not that they could do much if they did - I've put a circuit breaker right off the battery in the positive lead that heads down to the control box. Thing is as dead as a doornail unless you can get the bonnet up.
