    At the end of the day, a winch line failure could unfortunately mean the difference between life/death and or at the least a very expensive rebuild or write off out there over the edge brother:-(

    I got in contact with them Mark this is part of their response.

    We are a manufacturer and a wholesaler. We don’t sell to the public.
    I will be able to put you onto somebody if you don’t have a business and an ABN.

    We have the following wholesalers:

    DNA offroad and Road runner offroad.

    Thanks for the heads-up.

    Most Welcome John Mate!
    It is great that they’re honouring their wholesale distributors.
    The likes of say Road Runner have always appeared in my other product pricing comparisons to be as cheap anyways.
    They will definitely be buying in bulk (less handling fees etc...) so you’ll know doubt pay the same as the old days off the street.

    As a quick honest product review on Whittams brand:
    This snippet below from a ‘loser’ in last months snow photo competition:-)

    One seriously stuck heavy GU wagon off the side of a track down to its floor pan atop of bulldozer sludge.
    Chinese 10mm Dimeadozeneema rope popped instantly on the first GQ recovery HM kind attempt.
    Took the tucker tank with 11mm Whittams and an Iskra/Mahle HM to get the job done!
    Mind you the GU ute is some 25mm longer now since it’s rear was shackled to a chunky stump :-)

    Rest well now very well done John Mate
    Don’t take any shit from that awesome big hook choice too, keep her safe and unscathed uptop affront out there and you’ll rarely need to utilise a Bow shackle tree trunk protector connection ever again, fast and simples...clickity click on

    Took some rough measurements to get the fairlead to sit in the correct position. This plate will be welded in where the old roller fairlead was.

    Going to make the opening on the plate 10mm bigger all round. Will see if I can get on the mill at work during the week.

    Getting back to this.

    Test fit and the plate looks to fit pretty good.

    Bolting the fairlead through the bullbar and into the plate I have a few different options.

    1. I'll will need to make the opening a little bigger or the fairlead won't sit flat on the plate.

    2. Taking 3mm (thickness of bullbar) off the back of the fairlead will leave me with 5mm wall for the unbrako to sit in.

    3. Don't cut or mill anything and have a 3mm gap between the plate and the fairlead.

    Option 3 would be easier and would allow water to run through.

    Thoughts please...

    Yo John, I brought a hook thats made with plasma/Dyneema in mind
    Of course its a TJM product rated and didnt break the bank. Those rope
    terminals make things neater, you can leave to hook off till its time to
    go 4x4ing.
    If youre going to hook the rope up under the patrol , can I suggest you
    put some split tubing over the exposed section. stops it being sand blasted
    while just driving around

    If it were me. I would chonk out the section of the bullbar. Do you have access to a grinder and the 1/4" dia shank burrs? I think the fairlead plate needs to be supported across its back, and i would not thin it down.
