That looks great! Btw - so jealous of the no front plate. My state requires a front plate. ?I went with Factor 55, FlatLink, they make great stuff! https://factor55.com/product/flatlink-e-expert/
Against the fairlead mostly, but you'll catch it off the tow hook as well. I'm not as picky about that.Ya it’s definitely strange seeing soft rope and shackles in high load situations. Intuition says the steel must be stronger, but obviously years of use and testing around the world has shown otherwise.
How are you storing the Warn hook? Against the fairlead or hanging off a tow hook?
So does my state. However, it is a secondary offense so you can’t be pull over for it. If I start getting hit, I’ll fab something that is a flip down.That looks great! Btw - so jealous of the no front plate. My state requires a front plate. ?
The factory Ford F450 plate works perfectly.So does my state. However, it is a secondary offense so you can’t be pull over for it. If I start getting hit, I’ll fab something that is a flip down.
I didn't get that sleeve...The OEM winch comes with a black Velcro sleeve that covers the line from the hook to the spool, so there is not much worry about sun or environmental damage. You could put a small wrap of tape around the bit at the end of you we’re really worried.

Those bastards! I ordered the winch after I got the truck directly from Ford and it was in the box.I didn't get that sleeve...
I ordered the winch with the truck, and it came with the sleeve too.Those bastards! I ordered the winch after I got the truck directly from Ford and it was in the box.
Seems like somebody messed something up for you. That appears to be Warn’s standard abrasion sleeve? If so, you can get one directly from Warn for $30: https://www.warn.com/removable-rope-sleeve-100330I didn't get that sleeve...

On edit, I have had my share of the bastard broken strand of wire rope go right through my gloves, the kinks, the breaks and all that goes with wire rope. I am on the synthetic rope train for sure and if that means I have to replace it due to environmental degradation, so be it. I will take the cost trade off over the safety factor every day.
Hm. Maybe I’m over-thinking this and should just stick with the hook. Either run it flush against the fairlead or off the towhook.The OEM winch comes with a black Velcro sleeve that covers the line from the hook to the spool, so there is not much worry about sun or environmental damage.

Mine does too, but there’s that thing about something that’s not anatomically possible....That looks great! Btw - so jealous of the no front plate. My state requires a front plate. ?
Dang .. Time For A New Caution Sign ..Yep, totally my fault. There was a lot happening around me and I switched to the wired controller because I have more control over those last few inches of rope. I was holding the flatlink very specifically and bumped the button one too many times. The pressure cleanly pinched off the end of my finger....I took the stitches out today and it looks pretty good now.

It is! I did some searching on it and folks in a Jeep forum brought up two concerns which make me hesitant.
This looks like an interesting idea.
