OK, I need to buy a winch to put in my new Lucrum bumper. I have had my eye on the M8000 from Winch Depot for a long time, $517 shipped. But being impatient, I decided to take a look at 4 wheel parts to see their price, $550, no shipping cause I can pick it up and a $50 gift card so effectively $17 less than Winch Depot. Not sure if Winch Depot is in or out of CA so there could be a tax savings to use them but I would probobly buy from 4 Wheel Parts so I don't have to wait.
But here is my dilemma. Both web sites show two version of the M8000, roller fairlead and hawse fairlead. The hawse fairlead version is much more expensive in both cases. I thought the only difference was the fairlead itself. I want the hawse fairlead for the lower profile but don't want to pay a couple hundred extra for it.
What am I missing. I know that some hawse fairleads are rated for synthetic rope only, but Warn has one for both wire and synthetic that costs about $35 which is only a third as much as a roller fairlied if you buy it separate.
So??? any thoughts?
