Selling my used TRE Safety Thimble Fairlead. It doesn't work with my winch hoop so it's time to update. This includes the hardware, which should work for most winch plates. I will pull it off Thursday and update with cleaned up images.

What are you going to replace it with? A standing keeper off to the side somewhere?

Yeah, I ordered Blaine's fairlead (and his anodized soft shackle mounts that are getting sunset). I don't think I will copy Josh directly, but probably some type of keeper like that if it seems necessary.

Some fabbed pieces similar to the fairlead capture wedges could be welded on the winch hoop and captured there if it’s not ridiculously too high above.

The winch hoop isn't tall enough. It takes a bit of finagling to remove the thimble from the top of the fairlead and under the hoop. At least it is on mine. If the hoop was another 2-3" taller it wouldnt be an issue.
