For the smooth running (and re-winding) of your new ATV winch, it will need to have a fairlead, which is a guide to ease the winch cable on and off the spool.

The plain fairlead is a soft metal plate to keep the cable in place while the roller is a device which allows the cable to move across the fairlead without friction.
