    I see on the brute force site that the tire carrier is different from the one you have ben is that something you chose or is it because its a high clearance bumper

    Anyone know what the standard length/diameter of a winch line is? 100' of 5/16 or 3/8? And does anybody need any for winches or other applications? 3/8" has over 19,000lb breaking strength and virtually no stretch.

    Whoops sorry. Synthetic. Amsteel to be exact. I had the thought of a group buy for the stuff. But I was just looking at the last GB here and there's no way I can offer a price anywhere near what it was being sold at then. So I don't know if there would be enough interest.

    Haha yeah my new bumper. I forgot about that! I can get that amsteel for dirt cheap for myself. That's not a problem. I was thinking I could order a spool or two and run a GB on here for it but my price would be probably 50-60 cents higher per foot than the last GB on here. it'd still be 30% off retail price if I sold at least 600' though.

    Just a random idea I had today on the way home.

    I definitely wouldn't offer those same exact prices again..

    Although a 30% profit isn't that bad..

    For those of you considering bumpers, most winches ship free to the lower 48, so you can get it on our pallet for a whole lot less than you'd pay normally. Just something to vear in mind.

    Did you get a light-up one so it looks like a freakin lightsaber when turned on at night?!?! I saw them on someone's build down in the states, it was sick looking. Looked like led lights wrapping around it going up
