Looks good. I have the prolink version, also in red and love it. I just ordered the Factor 55 fairlead so should be fitted on next week.

@davidcarrico3385 3 жыл бұрын

So I’m a newbie to winching so still learning. Not trying to dig on f55 ( I will likely get the flat link) but how is this better than using something like a vanbeest bolt anchor super shackle for $47 that is already a shackle so could work by itself rather than a f55 plus a bow shackle? Or why not put something easily removable where the hook goes for storage, but then replace it with a soft shackle when you need to use it? Thanks.

When tightening up the bolt for D ring do you get all the way hand tight and then back it off a 1/2 turn?

I have the ProLink by Factor55. Their products are definitely safer as a closed system than an open winch hook or even a standard hook with a spring closure.

How critical is the rope guard they sell? I don’t see you have it on so wondering if I need it

I use just a shackle or soft shackle, less weight but I also use steel cable keeps bystanders and armchair spotters away.

Factor 55 is all about safety. Why not just use a soft shackle instead and then you have even less metal on the line? Just wondering.

You have sunpie headlights correct? I like my sunpies but was thinking of going to a projector style. What does your output look like. Sharp/ crisp? Mine are like flood lights with great output but not so great on those wet days. And the snow cakes on there bad.

@JKGearandGadgets 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah they are. My output is great and crisp during normal weather, during the rain it’s not the best, and as for snow I’ve never really noticed. I like the projector type but would never spend the amount most companies ask for them

I have a dumb question, never towed anything. Situation, someones car is stuck, how would you attach it to the frame of the car if it has no rope or shackle? Should I stock rope in my 4runner?

@roberthill2969 2 ай бұрын

In an offroad vehicle you should *always* have your recovery bag. Why have a winch if you don't carry shackles, snatch blocks, etc for your own self recovery? I always have at least two soft shackles, a snatch block, and a tree saver in my Jeep along with two last-resort steel D-shackles on my front bumper.

@JKGearandGadgets 6 жыл бұрын

Totally understandable! I will try to incorporate more DIY and cheaper mods into my videos. Honestly with a stock jeep there are a handful of things you can do to it for cheap! It all depends on what exactly you are trying to do (functional vs looks) know what I mean?

Not sure how much the 35s are, they are still reallly new to the market so you might have to call around to some of your local tire shops to see if they can get them

I think a good bow shackle at a the end of the winch is cheaper and better in almost every category. I just think the idea of joining the factor 55 to the winch to the shackle is just unnecessary.

Seems like you could just use the D shackle you attached to factor 55

I just don't see the point. If anything those are a downgrade over a good hook since you have to mess with schackels. I feel this is one of those thing where people just wanna "upgrade" for the sake of "upgrading". If winches came with flatlinks everyone would be "upgrading" to hooks. I do think that the hooks that come with the winches generally are a bit small, so i just bought a rated hook for professional use on heavy machinery and cranes. They are pretty inexpensive. Also the fact that i've never seen a "flatlink" on heavy equipment like bulldozers, tractors or cranes makes me think they are just another "i wanna be different-item" for the 4wd market. I don't mean to be rude about it, i just really think that's how it is.
