    Hello again, TacomaWorld..

    Considering undertaking another Amsteel winch rope Group Buy again, trying to gauge the amount of interest.

    For those of you who are unfamiliar with Amsteel, it is a synthetic rope constructed of Dyneema fibers - same or greater breaking strength as wire rope (cable), at only 1/7th the weight. Much, much safer than wire rope as well, due to the fact that it doesn't store nearly as much kinetic energy under load.

    At this point, I can offer winch lines, extensions and recovery/snatch straps (Snatch Straps would be constructed out of Samson Double Braid).

    Follow this link to see take a look at the past GB ---> http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/group-buys/256215-amsteel-winch-line-hardware.html


    This ---> http://www.downwindmarine.com/Samson-Flavored-Ice-Rope-Cover-p-91001644.html

    Looks like a pretty cool product as well, and would work very well to protect winch rope from chafing, and other abrasion issues.

    I may be able to offer decent pricing on a variety of Gunnebo-Johnson winch hooks, as well as shackles and other hardware.

    Finally - I've been contemplating assembling a Synthetic Winch Rope "Field Repair Kit", which would consist of a splicing fid, hollow fid and a few other tools to simplify repairs.

    Pricing structure will be dependent on the amount of interest; more people equals lower pricing.

    Either PM me, or post up what you'd be looking for.

    Regards,

    Jake

    I may be interested depending on the pricing and when the order gets made. Not sure what size I would need, but whatever is comparable to the 125 ft. of 5/16" that is on my warn 9.5ti.
