Overview

Key Features & Benefits

• 20,000 lb Working Load Limit — Heavy-duty capacity handles virtually any vehicle recovery scenario you'll encounter on or off the trail.
• CNC-Machined Aerospace Aluminum Body — Precision-cut from 6061-T6 aerospace aluminum for superior strength-to-weight ratio; will not rust or corrode like steel alternatives.
• 7075 CNC Machined Hook — Aircraft-grade hook construction provides maximum pull strength and durability under load.
• Black Military-Grade Hard Anodized Finish — Resists corrosion, UV fading, and the harshest trail elements while maintaining a stealthy, tactical look.
• Laser-Engraved Etching — Precision DV8 branding adds a premium, custom appearance that sets your rig apart.
• Integrated Pocket Design — The tow hook stores flush in its built-in pocket when not in use, eliminating snag hazards and maintaining a clean, factory-like profile.
• For Synthetic Rope Only — Smooth, polished fairlead edges protect synthetic rope from abrasion and extend rope life — a critical advantage over steel cable fairleads.
• Stainless Steel Pin Included — Corrosion-resistant pin ensures secure hook retention in all weather conditions.
• Compatible with Most Aftermarket Winches — Universal hawse fairlead design fits the vast majority of aftermarket winch setups.
• Patented Design — Protected by U.S. Patent No. US 10519012 B1, this is the original pocket fairlead concept.
