I am working on a project to get a my Warn M8000 winch with fairlead and controller to less than 50lbs.
The winch body and 80' of steel cable weight 48lbs.
The controller and wiring weighs 9 lbs.
Fairlead weighs 11 lbs.
So right now I have 80' of synthetic 5/16" line on order and I am looking for aluminum fairleads. When these items start arriving, I will let everyone know what the weight advantages are as things develop.
The main reason for this little effort is to reduce some of the mass from the front end of my Tacoma. With the ARB bumper and winch hanging out in front of the tires, it really changes the suspension dynamics.
