    I purchased this fairlead to use with a Superwinch LP8500 because it only comes with a hawse fairlead which I do not care for with steel cable (personal opinion). The rollers are nice and smooth overall it is a nice heavy duty fairlead and I took full advantage of the light mount holes to move my Hellas up and in off of the bumper on my TJ much less likely to catch branches and things.

    This winch guide seems to be built very well. I actually have used it on a portable winch for moving dead animals out of a barn on a cable. It definitely held up for a long time so I can honestly say I’m very happy with this product. It was exactly as they advertised.

    Sturdy and fairly priced. Looked at other brands. Many were more expensive, but not as sturdy. A few were less expensive. I have purchased Smittybilt products before and have been satisfied with the quality.

    Not even close to what is advertised, or even the picture on the box it comes in! Paid twice the amount for a full zinc alloy finish fairlead and received, maybe zinc rollers on a painted black mount. Even extra mounting holes not shown on the picture?! That looks horrible when mounted and have an empty set of holes on the plate. Save your money and buy the Chinese one that's exactly the same as the one you'll receive, because it is.

    I bought this to place in the front of my M1 Bumper for my Toyota Tundra. Even though I did not put a winch in there it makes the Bumper pop with looks still and provides a great place to mount the license plate that make sense. The zinc plated outside has held up and still looks good a few months later.

    Excellent fairlead. Vertical rollers have pin so if you loose snap ring you don’t lose roller. That makes it worth the money if you use the winch and not a parking lot poser.
