Factor 550001508 Prolink Lime Green

Looks great, made from aircraft aluminum, hard to believe its as strong as they say it is because its incredibly lighter than I thought it would be. It cleans up the front of my fairlead; no more dangling hook attached to an adjacent D-Ring, just this nice looking shackle mount centered instead. I must add that the color I chose (green) is my favorite shade of green and the paint job is excellent. Its expensive but it gives you a more refined look on the front of your Jeep all the while maintaining the ruggedness. I'm deducting a star because I believe they should be selling these for a few bucks less.

This is absolutely the best upgrade you can possibly make to your winch. It makes it a closed system which is much safer than a standard hook. The way you use it is with a D-shackle. A shackle connects a strap to the ProLink and nothing can come apart when winching. Much safer than attaching a winch hook to a shackle on the bumper for everyday driving as well. I should know, I lost a fingertip tightening up a winch cable to the bumper before buying one of these.

Outstanding addition to your winch, I've owned 2 of these in the past and there Great, better then a hook, just grab a true saver (or which ever strap you want) run your 3/4 clevis (shakle) hook up to the Factor 55 and pull. With a hook alone you still have to find a way to attach to a point (again strap or tree saver) and when you finish attach a hook to a point on you vehicle vs. just winch in to the Factor 55 and you finished and your rope is not out in the sun or there for a theives to steal it or your rope (depending on your mounting situation) my winch is hidden behind my bumper and my clutch release takes a special tool to engage and release.

This is a very nice product. I do believe it’s overpriced for what you get, but time will tell if it’s worth it. I love the cleaner look and I also like how none of the winch line is exposed. I keep a cover over my winch so my line is completely protected from the elements. The craftsmanship is great and I see this working really well. It’s also pretty light. I’d say it’s lighter than my original winch hook.

I won't go in to all the details of the item. You can read all about it on the web site. But, if you winch a lot, this is a must have. Safe, sturdy and easy to use. Get this and synthetic line for your winch to be set up.Fast shipping and easy easy install. Less than 5 min, even if you stop to pick your nose.

excellent product. Try *rough country* though if you want basically same thing for bout $100 cheaper

Needed to replace the hook on my winch as it had rusted out and no longer latched. Ordered this as the replacement and looks great. Installation was extremely easy, adds additional functionality to the winch that I didn't have with the hook, and also looks great.

I put this to work the second day on my truck my son went off a 50 foot cliff and I had to recover his truck because AAA doesn't cover that.Anyway it worked great much better then a hook my recovery straps did not get the ends ripped like the do with the hooks. I now have two of these one on my jeep as well I will never us a hook again.
