3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing like the picture, April 7, 2010

in the picture, it looks as though it has a durable finish, however it is only painted black. Not textured like the picture shows. also the shackle is not red on the one end. i've had it for a few months, and it works great, be sure to buy a good lock if you plan on keeping it on all the time, these things tend to "walk off" quite often if they aren't.

I purchased this Superwinch reciever shackle bracket for use with my 4Runner. I haven't used it much, but I bought it as an easy attachment point during for recoveries or for pulling trees and logs. Overall quality looks decent. I'm sure it's plenty strong. The bracket is cast and it is hollow. Unlike Superwinch's picture, there are a lot of casting marks and marks from where they ground the casting seams off. The units they sell now have a glossy finish compared to the flat finish in the pic. The bow shackle pin is also galvanized, not painted red.
The finish is a big dissapointment. When I recieved the product it already had a couple of chips in the paint. I thought it wasn't a big deal because it's going to get chipped anyway. Well, after just handling it, putting it in my toolbox, then putting it in my hitch reciever it has developed a lot of chips that rust quickly. What a poor finish...
I did find out that the bracket, without shackle installed, makes a good tie down point in the rear of my 4Runner to tie down kayaks. Definately a helpful thing.
Overall I'd say it's a good unit, just expect the paint to chip off easily. If I could do it again I'd get the Warn because the bracket is galvanized and should not rust easily.

1.0 out of 5 stars Made in China, May 4, 2009

I'm picky when it comes to spending my money and so I don't buy products made in China if I can help it. Not when there is an American made option.

For the price of this item, you can get an American made Warn receiver shackle.

If being made in China doesn't matter to you then you can still save money by buying this very same Chinese made receiver shackle under another brand name.
