If you're running synthetic winch rope, a quality hawse fairlead isn't optional — it's essential. The Fangs Polished Aluminum Hawse Fairlead replaces the old-school roller fairlead setup with a smooth, low-friction guide that's kinder to synthetic rope and keeps it feeding cleanly onto the drum during recoveries.
Synthetic rope has become the go-to choice for Kiwi off-roaders — it's lighter, safer when it snaps, and easier to handle in the cold. But it needs a smooth surface to run against, not sharp steel edges. That's exactly what this fairlead delivers.
- CNC-machined from high-grade aluminium with a polished finish
- Smooth radius edges prevent synthetic rope fraying and wear
- Standard 254mm bolt pattern — fits most popular winch setups
- Lightweight design that won't add unnecessary bulk to your bull bar
- Compatible with synthetic winch rope only
Suits Ranger, Hilux, D-Max, Triton, Patrol and most other utes and 4WDs running a front-mounted winch. A solid upgrade whether you're building a dedicated off-road machine or just tidying up your recovery kit.
