Check the TrailDuty.com. Several options there

I believe the line on the DRTY winch is Amsteel Blue

Equal to Warn's line. Way better on price.

Better, stronger and comparably priced.

I can see an extra benny having this to reduce weight for the cradle mount winches

Mostly the benny is for when it fails it will not come back at you to slice and dice. I put a sand bag on the line when it is in use...

There's no chance of injury from snap back with synthetic line. There's no stored kinetic energy in the synthetic.

Exactly! Hey DRTY - Do you put weight on the line?

KenP	02-21-2006 04:29 AM

When in Moab, a handy towel, shirt, or jacket was still thrown over the line. No need to take chances.

I like the pretty blue line, it matches the Stealth Gray perfectly!

ROX	02-23-2006 01:25 AM

OH, and it works really well and is safer.
