Recommended 11mm on 10k winch
10k warn he said to go with 35mtrs (to fill drum)or upto 45mtrs (before it starts binding) on winch. 40mtrs happy medium.
price $15.50 a mtr.

so for 40mtrs $620


ARB dude said either a 'the flat battery terminal type mount' to bolt on, or to use a slip knot on the drum. then you can spin the cable round and use other end if need be, also wont pull off if you get to end of cable by mistake.


I would go with the loop both ends. The one i bought at TTC was done this way and it is good to be able to turn the cable over and also not have to worry about pulling it too far out.

on the other hand it is so easy to splice, but I do agree, the battery terminal doeas SFA
