Winch rope

Post by ifslux »

Hi guys. I'm Looking at getting some rope for my high mount for comp work, it has a standard length drum but with a smaller centre pipe and is pulling a uted range rover. Just wondering what brand are people using, what size and length and were is the best place to get it from ?

Cheers ifslux.

11 or 12 mm rope, you should get at least 40metres on it.
As for brands, take your pick. A lot use the tigers11 rope and it seems fine.
My friends aren't holding me back..... I'm pulling 'em forward.

I've been running the dyeema stuff for five years now without any issues - looking into some Amstel blue for the new winch due to some good deals online from the states at the moment.
