Why not just wrap it around the center of your light bar/stinger/bull bar thing?
I thought about this but being in Ohio, I have a front plate. (You can see the brackets for the WP mount on the hawse.) When the plate was on the cable touched the plate and I worried about chafing. (No one likes chafing :grayno: )
.... Anyway I was only saying that there is a possible decent reason to use a pro/flat link... Jeesh! :naw:

I agree, I have a front plate also. I like mine. Tough crowd on this thread

Fair enough, but in my defence I didn't notice the brackets because I was too distracted by the neon blue! :shock: :cheesy:
But with that reasoning I can understand why you have it/want it. :yup:

I admit that I'm spoiled by a one plate state FL. Even though I live in VA. :thumb:

why not sell the new un-rusty one and run a stock stubby while you save for another?
Waste of money mods...Yukon rear axle shafts (they bend easy), grab handles (never used them really), bushwacker flats (awesome product if you want a little more clearance and the look they offer over oem cut)

true but it just makes it easier to save for a new one since it is for free
Why save when I could possibly get my money back?! Haha

Common thinking that grade 8 is stronger than grade 5.
Not the case and the real answer to which is stronger or not is clearly...
Well it depends.

Sorry I know way off topic but the grade 8 debate always grabs my attention.

I don't really know. But warn recommends grade 5 or better. I don't really know the debate personally. If I went to the hardware store to buy bolts, they would be grade 8. I even used grade 8 for my license plate.

Ugh, my ADHD will not allow me to read this. :icon_crazy:
Avoiding any type of technical explanation for my avoidance of this thing, I do not like the thought of taking one of the Grade 8 bolts my winch came with and replacing it with one Grade 5 bolt. Some engineer with much more knowledge than me gave me that Grade 8 bolt for a reason.
If it had come with all Grade 5 hardware, I'd have no issues running this Factor 55 replacement. :yup:

Warn includes grade 5.

I don't run a Warn.
What winch do you run?
