Winch Rope
Any body running winch rope?
What brand do you have? What length and size do you run? What are the pro's and con's of rope? What do you like and dislike about what you have? All pertinent comments appreciated. I need to order some this week - I busted my cable some. -jenn |
Re: Winch Rope
I'm on my 4th rope and after three wire ropes, I went with 100' of 3/8"
of the Amsteel synthetic rope at http://www.4x4rockshop.com/Scripts/p...idproduct=9982 which is about the best deal I have seen. Safer, won't fly back and kill/maim someone if something breaks, and the 3/8" synthetic has a 19.6K lb. breaking strength. It's a good rope, required in sanctioned rock crawling events and I highly recommend synthetic rope.

Re: Winch Rope
They say "Caution! We recommend using only fairleads designed for use with
ropes! Ordinary roller fairleads can snag and damage winch ropes!" What's the difference between the fairleads?

Re: Winch Rope
Probably product testing, more than anything else. Maybe a few minor
alterations after the first round, to correct a problem of pinching the rope and snapping it right off. Most consumers have no idea, how important product testing is. They think that engineers can predict everything. Earle "Dave Milne" <jeep@_nospam_milne.info> wrote in message news:PZ2zf.2523$wl.1794@text.news.blueyonder.co.uk ... > They say "Caution!
