That was my older 'off the shelf' ring solution before I started producing my own....( and it was rather thin standard anodizing ( because its 'blue' ) that was used to allow the company producing the ring to mark and brand their product ) I've tested dozen of rings and ring designs along my...

6061-T6 is plenty durable for this application. I have uncoated rings that are years old that have gone through abusive testing and show little to no wear. Running the ring the 'normal' direction, the ring spins with the winch rope, so no sliding surfaces if the winch rope pics up 'grit'. The...

No, it is not really needed on this part in my opinion. It adds a significant amount of cost without a ton of overall benefit on a part that isn't going to live outside full time. I prefer the polished surface of 6061-T6 aluminum with a light wax coating to make inspection and minor repairs over...

https://brennans-garage.com/collections/frontpage/products/snatch-ring-package I also offer the ring alone, but I HIGHLY suggest getting the entire package so everything works the best it can. My ring was designed with a 2.16" center hole, to make this type of rigging possible. You can pass a...

I added a few more additional tests to the original post using a different 'better' quality chuck. https://a.co/d/4jaFizi While the chuck has a very good clamping ability and I really like the general ergonomics, I didn't notice much flow difference compared to a normal clip on...

Try this in Amazon if the link isn't working. TSI Tire Inflation Core Retracting Tool - Model Number CRT-100 https://a.co/d/86slXLv

https://www.haltec.com/pc/Automatic-Tire-Inflation-System-Accessories-for-89MXA-RED-89MDA-Grey-89XDA-Blue-Single-tire-127p715.htm There is more than one place selling the same thing with different stickers. I would love to find the original supplier as they are pretty dang expensive.

I actually really like being able to read the air pressure WHILE filling up. With this inflator I can open the ball valve and just watch the needle move. Unless I am using shop air, it just reads tire pressure. Once you get past a certain flow it just pegs the gauge and you have to shut the...

I through I would share some interesting tech I have been playing around with in the tire inflation game. While there are special valve stems on the market that use the bigger core from larger industrial or agricultural tires, I was wondering how restrictive a standard Shrader valve core really...

At those weights, you don't want a C rated tire if you are going to see anything off pavement, and you won't feel any ride difference. Any tire weight penalty will be worth the longer life and extra margin when operating off the pavement. Running the truck off-road 1000lbs over GVWR is a...

The first batch of #HossFairlead have made it back a little early from the anodizer. The Type III, Class 1 ( dyeless ), Hardcoating process gives this amazing unique straw bronze finish color when coating 6061-T6 aluminum alloy. If the anodizing looks perfectly clear, you are not buying true...

I've got both 2.0 and 2.5 versions in stock whenever you are ready!

Thank you very much!

I slightly modified my production HiLo winch mount plates to be directly compatible with the new HOSS fairlead. This more clearly shows how the transition through the mounting plate is intended to provide additional protection for the winch line AND to lock the HOSS into the mounting surface...

Something similar industry standard, like a Crosby G-209 3/4" shackle, is going to be 'rated' for a WLL of 4.75t ( 10.5k lbs) or so. That is going to be at a 6:1 FoS however to be compatible with a lot of overhead lifting standards. You are going to have a very hard time breaking any 3/4"...

Honestly, there isn't as big of a difference between 'the cheap stuff' and the good stuff as most people think. By all means, buy the best stuff you can afford. The 'fuzz' comment still pertains to all Dyneema 12-strand ropes and how it works. The largest quality gap is generally the quality of...

It looks like a functional large hook which is good. The gate configuration looks a little tight for ropes and straps. The 18,000 'WLL' is a little suspect however. A normal 9ton 'rated' G80 hook would be something like this...

What is that monster, like a 5/8" size unit? I do like a safety hook, but I wish they didn't have all the normal 'hook' negatives.....weight, storage, extra connection points, exposed line past the fairlead, etc. Being able to grab many things without needing anything 'extra' has advantages...

I forgot the final install pic on the #LX45!

Mini-mod.... The #LX45 got one of my new HOSS fairleads installed. This is my own design with some new features that help protect the synthetic line. You can read more about that here. http://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/hoss-fairlead.238755/ and here...
