Looking for winch rope for my rear suck down winch. Don't need much, maybe 10ft to replace the 50ft steel cable. It's a 2500lb winch, so almost any rope will work that has a breaking point higher than 2500lb. Can be weathered or frayed, won't support much weight and won't be used for recoveryI will bring you some that I got from Scott ( @Scott F. ) , if i remember to grab it from my shelf before Friday. I'll try to remember it.

I'm guessing between Clark and Jay....there will be zero ropes given
There are zero somethings that I give about your thoughts

I put mine in the jeep too...for the same reason. I feel manipulated by Tony.I'm taking mine out now. I want to remember on my own without Tony's manipulation

Don't feel manipulated.Profession level stuff here. You guys lose either way. Prove him wrong and accept being manipulated. Or reject the manipulation and prove him right. Damn.

I think the eye splice turned out pretty well, but wish I would have got one of the metal rings to help it keep its shape. I'll address that next time I make a rope and if this holds up. The only step I think i really missed is sewing the end of the rope in so it doesn't pull out, but I'll add that to the metal ring as a "next time".
I ended up with both ropes in this thread, but went with the blue rope because a) it's blue and 2) it's thinner, which is better for my application

The lack of the eyelet will dramatically reduce the strength of the rope. I doubt it will impact your application, but understand it is for more than "keeping its shape"
I get what youre saying. The metal end on Jay's spare rope has an approximate diameter of 7/8". The end of my rope will go around a 7/8" tube, so hopefully any loss of strength is minimal.
If it breaks, I'll chalk it up to a learning experience, and then promptly blame @Scott F. for handing down cheap rope :)

How does lack of eyelet reduce rope strength?Something physics related...Google can help

How does lack of eyelet reduce rope strength?I would imagine it helps distribute the load across more rope and keep whatever it attaches to from cutting into the threads

Lack of an eyelet focuses the load on a smaller area rather than being spread out, and it creates abrasion heat and strand failure from the rope moving more at the point of the direct load. Rarely would a pin match the shape and size of the loop as well as the eyelet.Understand good explaination, Thanks I was looking at it in a different way.

Lol, it should work fine for what you are doing but it is really old. I think I bought that winch line sometime around 2002. Since you don't have one of those new fangled JKs, your rig shouldn't be allergic to old parts. //LMAO//

Old parts? This may be one of the newest things on it
