Remember Duffil, it's not nice to hate, severly dislike is ok, but not hate.

I like it but a bigger pic. would be great 

[Duffil]

how was that again? between your time and my money? It's cool, I have the time to bootyfab something, and you just blew $300 instead of saving for 4.7s.

[MiniSimp]

True, but the 4.7's aren't a necessity right now, and mounting my winch is.

[Duffil]

yeah I forgot about that thing.  are they BO or is it on it's way?

[MiniSimp]

It didn't say, but they were available for order on the site, so I figure they are either in stock or will be shortly.

Just ordered my UHMW Hawse Fairlead from Sky.



From Sky's site:

This new Hawse Fairlead is machined to directly replace a Warn style steel hawse fairlead. 10 inch mounting spread. Why UHMW? There are many reasons why uhmw is a better choice than aluminum for a hawse fairlead.

#1 Uhmw contacting uhmw rope has almost 0% wear, as uhmw is a self lubricating plastic.
#2 Uhmw is slightly lighter.
#3 You can run cable on Uhmw, aluminum you can't without extreme wear problems.
#4 It costs less which means you have more to spend on our other parts.
#5 if you scratch/cut/slice you aluminum fairlead, and your rope contacts that scratch, it acts as a knife, and cuts your rope. If you do the same with Uhmw it doesn't even concern the rope because it is the same material, working with itself.

how long will it last ? compard 2 alum under normal use

[skipnrocks]

Those are a good idea, for the synthetic.  seems like it would wear fast with cable though...

Not sure, I'll find out though.

seems like it would wear fast with cable though...

for $25 I think it's worth the test.

[Duffil]

cable will eat that thing first time out.

Everyone's a pessimist.
Gotta try it first and find out the hard way.

[Duffil]

you can use it on me...I'm sure my junk will get stuck.

I hope to never use it, unless I need to check if it's still working....

Ok, that may have been phrased incorrectly.
I prefer my vehicle to be thought of as an unpolished turd.
There, fixed.

If you want a very capable crawler and still send your kids to college, this is a good build to read.

If you want a show truck, maybe rock crawling isn't the best hobby to take up.

That's my opinion.
