for those needing Skids and stuff

 

The hunt is over. Getting steel?

 

Thinking about switching my winch line from steel to synthetic. Is the special warn spydura rope worth the extra $200? Or will I be fine just buying something off of Amazon? $300+ for a rope seems a little ridiculous when I can get it on Amazon for like $130

 

Maybe!

 

I'm curious too. Was thinking about doing the same thing.

 

Though you really weren't supposed to switch lines especially if you've use it since steel can bur up the farlide and drum

 

I plan on replacing my fairlead and cleaning/painting the drum

 

Yea I plan on replacing the rollers with a fairlead. Didn't know that about the drum though. Good info

 

I can't speak for the previous owner of my truck, but I know that my winch has gotten very little use since I've owned it so I'm hoping the drum won't need much work if any

 

personally, it's something like climbing rope to me. Pay for quality, especially if it's something that my life may one day count on.
For recovery equipment, i'd say extra $ for assured quality is worth it. that spydura stuff is legit

 

I let myself go for the day around 10:30. Been washing both trucks, watering the grass and doing general light yard maintenance and beer reviews.

 

In for beer reviews.... I wont be having any beer until we get up to the mountains.

 

Yay, finally sun!

 

Kiddos.

 

Hi good sir

 

Check out www.customsplice.com. They have great line that will not break the budget. Also they have fairleads at a good price too.

 

So got this stupid head cold or crap
From idk where. Always buy the stronger shit behind the counter stuff on the sheves doesnt do crap For me!

That is all!

 

Fairlead yes. Drum, I dont see a problem.
The winch line never moves in relationship to the drum it just wraps around it and you're supposed to leave a layer or two on the drum at all times anyway.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong though.
