None, I just packed them with good grease, I tried one out today and it worked well, I didn't think that 15 or so RPM would warrant going to a bearing, as often as I use it I'll just repack if necessary.

LOL - I must need more coffee, took me a minute to figure out why you had it on the hub.

I like the little standoffs, I have collapsed the winch plates on one pulley because it did not have them.

I agree, no bearing needed, I just throw a little bit of blue wheel bearing grease on mine with just bolts and it does fine.

Looks a lot beefier then the whimpy $60 stuff they sell with C-clips holding the halves together in the 4x4 catalogs!

What would be the proper name for these? Pulley, ****** block? or something else? does it depend on what buisiness you are in? hooker bob would know, anybody?
