Take a look here for fairleads that can't be used on an ARB. :elkgrin:

Probably nothing to get anyone excited, but I replaced the battery today. It went completely dead. I got in this morning and it cranked with no problem. I drove 2 miles away, shut it off to take my son into daycare, come back out, nothing. Not even the dome light was on. Connections were good, the battery finally just gave up the ghost. Of course, it was the factory battery, so 6 years of duty is good in my book.
Anyway, I did a bit of looking this morning before I went to get a replacement during lunch. I looked at Optima and Die Hard platinum and liked the CCAs that the Platinum put out but remembered to look at interstate. It had plenty of CCAs at 710, but the reserve capacity is much more than any other battery at 165 minutes. I figured this would be the best having a winch and no dual battery setup. So I went with the Interstate Megatron Plus. I'll get a pic up tonight.

On our generation of trucks, if you will notice in the directions of how to even mount the roller fairlead, you must drill holes in the fairlead mount in order for a roller to line up. A Hawse failead will not go on there due to no way to offset the mounting. Been there, tried that. Show me a picture of a 05+ Tacoma bumper with a hawse fairlead without someone fabbing new brackets.

Lol, did you even look at the page?
Take a look on the okoffroad page at the "SP Aluminum Hawse fairlead".
The description straight off the page: "Designed specifically for bumpers where the winch is mounted "feet" front - for example ARB bumpers, and for Ramsey winches with below-center bolt pattern. The bolt holes are 3/8" below center. Standard 10" bolt pattern with 71/2" drum-width slot."

My apologies, didn't catch it in the middle of the page.

Did you know there are other places to wheel than the ORV park? Scope out the Fall Foliage thread in the Central States section.

I'm fully aware... I've been an Arkansan for 34 years.
I'm also aware that a lot of off-roaders are planning to go to the ORV park when they say that they're going to Hot Springs, so I just thought I'd let you know just in case.
Have fun on the fall foliage trip. I wish I could go!
