I install a Factor 55 UltraHook. But is it actually better than my stock Warn winch hook? I give you my recommendations. It may not be the one you think.
Let me know if you have questions or any suggestions regarding the video. I'd like to make the best videos for you, so don't be shy!
Thanks for watching!

Excellent point- I've been off roading for about 50 years and never seen one of them hooks fail-like you said there are other problems, but that hook ain't one of them- Thanks for posting

@neverendingweekend 19 дней назад

Thanks brother. Trail safe!

FACTOR 55 is a much better product than the conventional hook. Safer, stronger, and much better looking. We are proud they are part of the WARN family of brands. Just wait until you see what they release next.

@neverendingweekend 9 месяцев назад

I agree 💯. Safer, stronger and better looking. That’s why I have one. …but,…⚖️💸🤔 ..and looking forward to what’s next from Factor 55! 💯

We’ll, thank you, sir! I’m sincerely grateful that you enjoyed it. ❤️

💯 No need to pose. Nothing against F55. But I've never had an issue with 'the hook'. Plus I run steel, not twine. So I'll never need to replace anything. Twine WILL break at some point. Steel...highly unlikely.

@neverendingweekend 3 месяца назад

Be cautious around that steel. 🤜🤛

Thanks friend. I got a crazy video coming soon. Might not be for everyone, but it’s kind of out there. 😅 Glad you liked the video.

@iamninjak5250 9 месяцев назад

Nice Vid. I have a Flat Link with the guard on it. I had considered getting the hook, but honestly, the flat link works, because you will most likely use a shackle or soft shackle anyway. The UltraHook does look cool as all heck.

@neverendingweekend 9 месяцев назад

Thanks friends. Imo, keep the flat link. … the hook does look pretty nifty tho 😅. .. but just keep the flat link 🤓

Gotta go off roading bro! Worth it!

@TealOxAdv 5 месяцев назад

Great video. We have the Ultrahook on one Jeep and the Warn Epic Sidewinder on the other. Both are superior to a standard hook in flexibility and safety. Yes they are more expensive, but you can’t put a price on safety.

@neverendingweekend 5 месяцев назад

True. They are the gold standard. Premium for a reason. Glad you liked the video.

Awesome, another Asian Bronco owner. I got a 23 Badsquatch.

@neverendingweekend 10 месяцев назад

Congrats on the Bronco! It’s a great car. (Even though mine won’t start right now 🤔) The odds are there will be more than a few Asian owners. 🤷‍♂️

@cletusvandamme6262 2 месяца назад

Chalk up another one, but no Bronco. F-350 Super Duty Powerstroke. 49 years of off-road experience here. You heard me right. It's still a thrill after all these years.

@explore_off_road 9 месяцев назад

This is a good one, great idea. Myself, I like the classic hook, especially if you're in a hurry. In heavy industry, we use a classic style hook and steel cable... I'll stick to what works. Though! The Factor 55 is cool looking... so if it's only about Cool Factor,... then okay, I get it.

@neverendingweekend 9 месяцев назад

I think it’s exactly that. If I could turn back the clock, this is one thing I wouldn’t get.

@AdamHillikerLikesRobots 10 месяцев назад

This hook is the bomb, but I am probably going to go with zero metal; soft shackles only, and use the yankum groove fairlead. That would be safer than not going offroad *lol*

@neverendingweekend 10 месяцев назад

Never heard of yankum. They look cool. Personally, if doing it over again. I wouldn’t buy the ultra hook.

@AdamHillikerLikesRobots 10 месяцев назад

@@neverendingweekend that's good to know. I mean, at least it looks bad ass :)

@eldedo8927 9 месяцев назад

Yankum ropes with brummel locking loop and soft shackles is my next upgrade, zero metal. You know you can simply just splice your own brummel loop with your existing winch line.

@neverendingweekend 9 месяцев назад

@@eldedo8927 that sounds like the way to go. The bonus is that you don’t have carry around these big heavy metal bits. Thanks for the tip! 👍

@oxouk 5 месяцев назад

As an off road newb, I bought the flatlink link. It's great if you need to winch to another jeep, but completely useless for a quick winch on any type of car or street vehicle that doesn't have a shackle. It looks cool, but I'd rather have the hook that came with the Warn.

@neverendingweekend 5 месяцев назад

I’ve never even thought of that. I guess you’d need to carry some extra rope and shackle or 2. Then you’d be good for almost any situation. 💪

@TealOxAdv 5 месяцев назад

Soft shackles are perfect for those scenarios and safer than other options.

@vietnam2513 9 месяцев назад

Almost the cost of the winch 😆

@neverendingweekend 9 месяцев назад

Soo true .. 😞

@KrinklingPlasticBits 4 месяца назад

Why not just remove the hook and connect a bow or soft shackle onto the winch line? Beyond them sitting flat on the fairlead, redundant connections and the cool factor it seems like a waste of $$$.

@neverendingweekend 4 месяца назад

I think you summed it up. 👍 But I don’t think those are necessarily bad things. The soft shackle is an idea but I think you want something rigid to spool up against when packed away.

@lewy1 9 месяцев назад

Just use a good bow shackle

@davidroads419 8 месяцев назад

It's well gimmicked, well marketed and looks cool. The price is a hard no and it really adds nothing to the purpose.

@neverendingweekend 8 месяцев назад

I agree on all points, except to be fair to @factor55, it is a superior hook and closed system was developed from what they learned from racing. But for the backyard off-roader,.. it’s pretty much the cool styling. 🤷‍♂️

@TheDarkFJ 22 дня назад

$280 is too much for a hook.

@neverendingweekend 22 дня назад

If you really think about it and you want to be really practical, anything over $60 seems too much for a hook. 😅 But just like anything, it comes down to budget and desire. 💸😉

@patricksullivan9713 9 месяцев назад

@neverendingweekend 9 месяцев назад

The ultra hook or hooks in general? 😉

@patricksullivan9713 9 месяцев назад

@@neverendingweekend The ultra hook is a good piece, I would never use the hook part though. I don't like hooks in general I have a pro link and it's all I need. Ill use shackles but Im not going to use a hook even if its billet. Ive done a lot of recovery and a hook just feels like Im doing something I should not be doing like looping a tow strap over a ball hitch. Yeah your usually fine but I don't like that. Probably just me 🤣

What do you mean? When the ultrahook isn’t being used it should rest with the hook opening at the top? 🤔

No, you have it right...I was teasing you. Good vid....Except the part where you said not to buy one lol. They were actually designed for Ultra 4 racing...thats where the name Ultrahook came from.
