Introducing the Jawse Fairlead System, an innovation engineered for seamless integration with your winching experience. The name "Jawse" is a clever fusion of "jaws," inspired by its distinctive ribbed teeth-like shape, and a nod to the hawse fairlead design.
This unique system allows you to effortlessly attach our popular Jowl split recovery shackles directly to the end of your winch rope. Beyond the convenience of mounting split shackles for quicker connections, the Jawse Fairlead System eliminates the need for additional recovery hardware when securing standard screw pin anchor or bow shackles. No more hassle of extra pieces between the shackle and the end of your winch line.
What sets Jawse apart is its integrated fairlead pad, allowing your shackle to securely rest against it, preventing any metal-on-metal contact between your shackle and the fairlead. Elevate your winching experience with the Jawse Fairlead System – where innovation meets rope end protection, secure storage and fast recovery connections.
The Mohawk 1.25 is warm forged using 6082 aluminum with the grain flow orientated to maximize the strength of your connection point providing a work load limit of 7,000 pounds. This higher quality and higher cost 6082 aluminum also has better mechanical properties and better corrosion resistance compared to 6061.
Two hitch pin holes allow for two receiver mounting positions increasing compatibility with any 1-1/4 inch hitch package. The third hitch pin hole and included spacer allow you to rotate the receiver 90 degrees so you can mount a hitch ball with a 3/4" shank providing a towing tongue weight limit of 300lbs and a gross trailer weight of 3,500lbs while accepting a Class I/II hitch ball.
Most shackle receivers have sharp edges at the connection point which often tear soft shackles, synthetic ropes, tree savers and strap looped ends. The Mohawk 1.25 main mounting hole has a very large radius on the outer edges to reduce abrasion and increase the life of your recovery gear making this ideal for use with any closed loop recovery set up. The spined outer perimeter adds more material where you need it most and gives the Mohawk its aggressive and unique identity.

Our Patented XL shackle is designed as a functional towing, recovery or pulling accessory that coincidentally looks like balls, nuts or testicles. This unique man shaped D-Ring is designed to prevent your recovery, snatch or tow rope from over tightening. This is accomplished by keeping separation between the rope when it is attached to the shackle in a slip knot fashion. The bump on the inside of the Moose Knuckle Offroad shackle spreads the rope apart as it wraps around and tightens. Since the rope is held apart it is unable to tighten further when a heavy load or pull is applied. This bump divider also acts as a separator when two hooks or master links are attached when pulling or lifting.
A twist (pun intended) on a standard D-ring bow recovery shackle, our new grape escape B'oh shackle incorporates an innovative Two Finger Spin Pin design to keep your pins and shackles joined together out on the trail. No more lost pins!
We collaborated with our partners over at Owyhee Offroad Parts to solve the lost pin and lanyard tangle problem by adding a grooved channel around the pin flange that holds a weather resistant stainless steel spin ring that spins freely while you rotate the pin when removing or replacing the pin in the shackle body. This allows the lanyard to stay in one position, out of the way, without wrapping the lanyard around the pin as you tighten or loosen your shackle.
