Well I git my new aluminum fairlead on that I got from Rubberdown and man this thing is sick! It looks alot sharper than the old roller style I had before plus it's got a cool logo on the front.


Here's what mine looked like before.

Looks like steel cable around your hook or am I mistaken?

Also, if it is rope, pull it all off, and got to Home Depot or Lowes or something like that and get yourself a little rubber door stopper something like this....

and drill a hole through the rubber and put it all the way on the rope so it hits the aluminum fairlead instead of the steel hook.

Nope not steel. I am planning on putting something on there but can't deside what I want. It Sunday and raining like hell so I'm gonna wait till I go to town and see what I can find.

I sell a product called a winch saver. Do a search on the them. It will keep the fairlead looking like new. $12.00

Ya what Bigdog sells is very similar to the door stopper I use, but the door stopper is only a few $$$ and requires you to sometimes drill a hole in the rubber. Both will work great to save the fairlead, just make sure you DO use something.
