I had the same concern but I'll yield to those with more experience. Is the fair lead slot going to be big enough to inspect/correct? If you are running a cable instead of a rope is a roller fair lead better? Does normal winch maintenance require removal of the bumper?
Sorry for all the dumb questions, but take it as a compliment. I really like the bumper, just want to make sure I'm not creating a hazard/more work for myself.
Thanks for posting this as quickly as you did Andy!!!
BTW, nice rottie!

it is a nice design
and he is using synthertic line which spooling is not as important
however, most are going to use metal cable, and overlapping the line can cause imediate failure under the right conditions, and it damages the cable for the next use, making failure more a more apt ordeal. watching thru the fairlead hole leaves you open to being killed by snapback due to a failure. or lossing a limb. I would prefer a way that you could watch standing back 5 or more feet.
