I've never used one but you can pretty much guarantee that it will eat it up especially when your pulling against it.

why? do you not have a fairlead? find a roller or a CAST IRON Hawse fairlead, save the aluminum for when you get synthetic line.

Well, according to sky you can use the plastic one with steel cable.  I don't have any experience with it.

If we cannot embrace the 4wheel users as a whole. We are not fighting for access. I cannot be that shortsighted

X2....I would use a roller with any and all cable, and when you have the money saved, the best set-up is an aluminum hawse with synthetic rope.  Wouldn't pair cable with an aluminum hawse though.  Just my :twocents:

I do have a roller fairlead, its just  the bumpers I'm building have a reciever hitch front and back so I can move the winch around ... I'm fat and lazy , so I wanna keep the winch as light as possible with still being on a buget...

well I guarantee you you're not going to be able to tell the difference between an aluminum and a cast fairlead when packing a multi-mount around :greengrin:
