Aluminum Hawse Fairlead from Off Road Only

I received a ßeta version of ORO's new aluminum fairlead. It arrived just in time for me to throw it in the back of the XJ on my way to the Dusy-Ershim trailhead. I installed it the next morning at Courtwright Reservior. It's much lighter than the roller version that came with the Warn winch, and that's great. The best feature of the new hawse fairlead is that it doesn't stick out much. My C4x4F bumper gets caught once in a while on steep approaches, and the roller fairlead made the problem much worse. The ORO fairlead works great... the rope hasn't marred the metal and there are no parts to pinch the rope (like can happen with the roller type).
