Part #: 15102.06 (Black) / 15102.05 (Red)
A few times I have managed to suck my hook into the fairlead. While this is dangerous by itself if your hand was holding it, it's really a pain trying to get it back out. I usually ended up having to yank it out with force, not necessarily a good thing for roller fairleads and generally leaves gouges in hawse fairleads. I thought about putting a thimble on the end, but after seeing one cracked I was a little concerned. Now I have seen hooks crack, bend and generally get old, so I will probably go the Thimble route when I replace the steel cable that is currently on my winch. I was running a synthetic line up until a few days ago, but after being on the Jeep for many years it was showing it's age and I decided that I would install a new steel cable that I had. I was also ordering a few things and this only cost a couple of dollars so I threw it in the shopping cart. This is designed for the standard steel cable, or synthetic line 11/32" & 3/8".

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
