which fairlead for synthetic winch

cant decided between warn hawse or the sythetic roller fairlead. which looks better.

 

Definitely stay away from a roller fairlead if you are using synthetic line!

 

x2. You must use a hawse with synthetic.

You can use them if you have the special rollers. There's no space to pinch the line. At least that's the tale. I prefer the hawse fairlead. I have an aluminum Viking fairlead.

 

In terms of which looks better - hawse no doubt.

Rollers look kinda crappy and are a lot heavier than a hawse.

 

Aluminum. I just picked up the $25 Smittybilt from 4wheelparts and called it good.

 

I prefer an aluminum hawse on mine. It's just cleaner and smaller.
You can in fact use a roller lead if it has never had a cable thru it or cable damage.
I kept the roller and cable that came with my warn m8000 as a backup in my toolbox just in case I ever need it or someone on the trail needs it.

 

I bought this one cause i hate Chrome.

 

I got mine from Marlin Crawler. Works well and I like the turtles.

 

very nice turtles .

 

i ordered a black warn hawse today. well see what that looks like. the chrome one just stands out like a gold tooth to me

 

Good choice OP.

 

Black is the winner. Bolt caps on or off

 

Looks good man.

 

Looks nice

 

Put them on but they'll come off eventually.

 

true that^

 

Idk. I kinda like them off
