WELL TESTED HER A SMALL PULL ON AN ULTD JK

PULLED WELL NO HESITATION

AND WHEN IT GOT HARDER SHE TOOK IT LIKE A MAN

THE PULL WAS STRAIGHT FOR 10 FEET THEN UP A 45 DEGREE EMBANKMENT FOR ANOTHER 10 FEET THEN ANOTHER 10 FEET

TEMP WAS COOL TO THE TOUCH AND

THE PULL LOOKED LIKE THIS

MAYBE THE CYCLE WAS TOO LONG

Default Fairlead

So, it comes with a hawse fairlead I see ...as opposed to the traditional roller fairlead. Is this good or bad given it doesn't come with synthetic rope?

Did the hawse fairlead hold up after a couple of uses...or is it (and your cable) all scratched/banged up now?

I'm debating this winch vs. the Smittybuilt XRC-8.
