The synthetic winch rope is the only one that can be used
It has a higher opening to accommodate 1/2" tube thimbles, allowing the rope slot to be used even on the larger tubes

Questions & Answers

is the size of the opening at the top of ?

In addition to purchasing the factor 55 1, I also bought the factor 55 2. A fairlead of 0" is required. One of its openings is 1-inch wide One eighth of an inch by seven inches It measures 1". As a comparison, the fairlead on my ZEON 12-shot has an opening that is thinner than that on the warn fairlead Size of s is 15/16" x 7-/8" It measures 1". It has no problem passing through either of them as the thimble on the spydura rope does.

Do you think it will fit a smittybilt XRC ?

That should be the case. In my experience, fairlead mounting holes are usually of a standard width

What if the bolts don't look good, so I have to order new ones?

Your winch is equipped with bolts that you would use to attach them.

A corrosion test is being conducted in the real world (Michigan)
5/5

The fit is perfect and the quality is excellent It is finished. I received my order within 24 hours. I just installed it, and so far it's five stars. You can see in the pictures how Warn has thrown up on the fairlead that was delivered with my Zeon I've only seen it once during a snowstorm (less than 2,000 miles from here). The rope is likely to be destroyed if it is Its own design was well-suited to the weather, but a poor clear coat they used on the fairlead and caused it to pit much more than it could have if it had been left With a comparison, I will update in spring of 2020. I asked Factor 55 about corrosion resistance of their fairleads, and this is what they responded

We only offer them in a Type III hard anodized finish since it offers corrosion resistance as well as hardness. The Type III hard coating survives the ASTM 5% salt spray test. Also, you will find that most of the aluminum parts used in the sailing industry are hard anodized for the same As a result, if deep gouges into the aluminum are experienced, some localized oxidation may occur, but it will not impair the performance of the entire There are over 10,000 of these fairleads used worldwide and have never been affected by oxidation. If you would like to learn more, you can use the Web to view information about Type III hard coat anodizing. Please refer to factor 55 as follows



I bought stainless steel fasteners to mount the factor I prefer nuts to bolt heads or acorns due to their appearance. The company should be ashamed of itself. It costs $1200 for a If they had not included a fairlead at all, I would have been happier. I just updated the 2/29/2020 version of this piece. In the process of cleaning the rope, I detached the fairlead to inspect it. The last few months have been spent driving thousands of miles. The mess is salty. Since it looks the same when I put it on and did not bother to take photos, I did not bother taking photos of it. The price is well worth it.

There is no one else like us
5/5

an impressive fairlead, and I was disappointed to discover it is too wide to fit on the front of my Rokmen Merc bus. After a round of debate, I decided to go with Warn's answer to the Factor 55 and grind a 1/4". Factor 55 is in direct competition with the Warn epic. The hawse fairlead offered by Factor 55 was superior to anything they offered, so Warn copied the thick anodized finish offered by Factor 55. A particular feature of the image is its The color may look black in the picture, but it is actually more of a You shouldn't delay taking this beauty home if you have the space. Make sure you choose innovators over imitators to achieve the best results. There are five fairleads in a factor 55. The company has American employees and everything they make is made in the USA which is a good reason to support a group of people who We promise not to disappoint you.

I love the design, the fit, and the Taking an extensive look at this device isn't necessary since it's a relatively simple device
4/5

As soon as it is available, I will begin using it. So far, my only concern with regard to durability would be the "mil specification anodizing". It is fairly brittle and not exceedingly durable. Considering that it's likely a result of coating a relatively soft metal with a "hard" coating, I am disappointed with how easily both the scratching and flaking have taken place While it has a few flaws, it is a great product in design and I would.

This is a great product
4/5

I am very impressed with the quality and the product. The product did everything it said it would. Hard anodizing looks great, but if the "black" option were available, it would be even better. The one I have has been stripped down and rebuilt In order to match my color scheme, it was anodized in Hard Black. I prefer one over the other.

This product is of fantastic quality and looks great! A set of bolts would have been a perfect complement
5/5

THe Factor55 Hawse Fairlead is amazing in both its design and feel! This shackle fits my FJ perfectly and mates with my Factor55 ProLink winch. It was an option to mount it with the Factor55 logo facing up or down, so I chose to mount it That kind of stealthy thing. There is only one shortcoming to this item, which is that it does not include any bolts for mounting (preferably, matching or complementing colors). The existing bolts on my winch/bumper are too short, so I will have to replace them to make this item Furthermore, I would like to have the depth/dimensions of the mounting holes on the description so that I can prepare the appropriate equipment.

The quality of the work is excellent
5/5

The rope hole is very smooth and the product looks really good. I haven't tested it yet, but it seems like a five star product. One of the best is the powder coating or painting one. There is nothing that compares to the quality and excellence of meet. i haven't used it yet, but I plan to before too long.
