Winch

Mounting the winch under the floor would be nice. What type of pulley did they use? Is it just a roller? I would think a pulley mounted close to the winch wouldn't allow the cable to go back and forth on the drum as it winds up.

As far as driving the car while winching. I pull my car onto the tailgate and then hook the winch up. I don't have a remote and because of the ATV winch I use it's just mounted to the D ring on the floor with a clevis. I just stay by the winch and pull it in, never had to steer it.
I would like to permanently mount a winch along the wall and use a pulley on the D ring. I don't know how that would work out with a synthetic rope instead of a cable.
