Since I am thinking of installing a snow plow, I would like to know the advantage of your mod? I really havent used my winch for anything as yet.
I think I will follow your lead on the tow hitch. Sure save time changing balls etc. Thanks for the Pics. Bob

my winch fairlead is just like one you can but except for i didnt want to spend the money...im cheap..i have scrap peices of metal laying around so i use them for the rollers all i did was use a bolt then i stuck a small peice of plastic pipe on it then a larger size..so the cable wears on the plastic not the metal..my original thought was that the bolt would move freely but it didnt so thats why i put the plastic pipe on it...if ya need more info gimme a pm

How difficult is it to install the mounting plate and tubes? I Just purchased X2 550 and am thinking about doing it myself.

Stickem, props to your modifications..i wish i had that fairlead setup..I've broken my winch cable at least 6 times with the stock piss poor design...Are there any other ideas you have?
